Behind the Smoke: Dai Yoshihara Abu Dhabi Formula D 2011
GTChannel followed Daijiro Yoshihara to Abu Dhabi for the Formula Drift invitational event at Yas Marina Circuit. They went behind the scenes to capture a life in the day of professional drift driver Daijiro Yoshihara. Dai and crew arrive in Dubai and take a bus to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. They are in awe of the beautiful Yas Marina circuit and the adjacent Ferrari World that has the fastest roller coaster in the world. It’s not all fun and games as Dai shakes down the GTChannel/GTI 350Z for the main event on Friday night.

GT Channel: Taro Koki Blogs About Formula Drift Abu Dhabi
GT Channel Taro Koki post event pictures from Formula Drift Abu Dhabi.
“Although not as serious as some of the things that have been happening in the Middle East, something pretty epic happened last week at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on Friday. Formula Drift held its first exhibition event in the Middle East.”
Jim Liaw, president of Formula Drift said, “I think we completely exceeded their expectations.” That was an understatement. They had to open up additional seats. The crowd went nuts. It was more like a grand slam homerun.
