Drift Meeting Special Round 2018 Course Layout

ドリフトミーティング Special Round 2018 コースレイアウト
The 2018 year-end finale, "Drift Meeting Special Round 2018," is fast approaching. The Drift Grand Prix course at Yatabe Arena is already set up with the official layout, and with the course fences and tire barriers now in place, the atmosphere is building.

The layout features a run from the straightaway on the driver's stand side, looping around the outer left perimeter, and then initiating a transition to dive in front of the judges' stand on the outer right. Indications of the racing line are already visible toward the outer edge of the track, suggesting that a dynamic driving style will be required—maximizing the use of the left outer perimeter to increase speed and tightly tracing the outer line. While the judging area is expected to span from the end of the initial straight to the exit of the right corner past the judges' stand, the official judging criteria will be explained by the judges on the day of the event.
