News>>dai Yoshihara Wins Fd Atlanta!!

Just got back to the hotel after an incredible evening at Road Atlanta. When all was said and done, Daijiro Yoshihara was standing on top of the podium after defeating his teammate Vaughn Gittin Jr. in the final. Meanwhile, Chris Forsberg would take third after defeating Michael Essa.

This doesn't even scratch the surface of what went down in ATL, but for now I need to hit the sack before an early flight back to LA tomorrow. Much more to come and congrats, Dai!

Daii ripped the hell out of his rear endd after dmac hit himm,

Slug, well since JR won at Long Beach, and was 2nd in Atlanta, and Dai wasn't 2nd at LB, I would say all signs point to yes...

great job daijiro! cool to see a DRIFT car taking the win! also i think the big hood facilitates the v8 in there...

18

congrats to DAI!!!!! he was damn good. although some of the judging in top 16 was way wrong. Ernie, andy n tony , have to be more forgiving with the tapping going on or the sport will progress slower. also Jrod's thing is getting so old, just talking smack nothing technical, not entertaining at all...

fucking v8

Would be nice if it still had Nissan Power!

"that car is so fail" it won. Weird?



It is by far one of the dopest looking FD cars hands down. And it doesn't just look good it can also win at the FD level. Looks to me like they've done something right!
