As one of the prefecture's largest events…
Individuality explodes!
The venue was buzzing, so here are Ehime's…
…we checked out the paddock cars to investigate the local drivers. Seriously, we were amazed at how many intensely distinctive characters there were!
Unusual-machine capture special
The extremely high-mounted GT wing and a bumper with its license-plate recess filled are distinctive too. This Cefiro was built by Matsuda, who also built the bat-style C33 and long-nose PS13 featured at the front of this issue.
The exhaust is extraordinary: it runs through the cabin and exits through a rear door! It must be very loud while driving, but its visual impact is unbeatable.
The over-fenders and deep-dish wheels create an unusual atmosphere, and the colors are superb! The grille-less front suits the wild body-color image. We'd love to see it enter an ADVAN Drift Meeting in these colors.
Best color scheme! Ryu Yoshinaka, A31
Will two-tone paint be this year's trend?
Sohei Kimura, A31
Hey, Drift Tengoku!
Don't copy me!

Aiming for…
A two-tone Cefiro is unusual! Kimura said, ‘I actually wanted to cut the roof off, but gave up. So I painted it to make it feel roofless instead.’
Found an FF drifter! Toshimitsu Watanabe, DC2
I broke it [fragment]
Hitoshi Ando, A31
He recently appeared at Ikaten, so many readers may have seen him in the video. The flashy stickers are impressive, but is it just us who keep reading the 仁 character on the hood as 仏?
The tiny FR car gives it a good go! Hikaru Matsuda, EA11R
The combination of over-fenders and chrome mirrors looks stylish!
Interesting event

This cool Integra was supposed to compete, but trouble prevented it from running. We wanted to see it in action, especially since its engine looked impressive!
