[INFO]

Who do you think were the best D1 GRAND PRIX Drivers of all time and why?

Please post your Top 3

[my 1 88 u]

Taniguchi Nobuteru- So precise and fast
Katsuhiro Ueo - Defies physics in an AE86
Yasuyuki Kazama - Best showman ever

[theSidesweep]

Masato Kawabata - tandems and angles are the best I've seen (imo)
Daigo Saito - fantastic at handling a large chassis
Nobushige Kumakubo - consistently strong at almost every event

[KyShro]

Agreed with my 1 88 u, but different order...

#1 Taniguchi Nobuteru
#2 Yasuyuki Kazama
#3 Katsuhiro Ueo (my fav)

[KyShro]

With Youichi Imamura coming close behind them.....

[Bebop]

Youichi Imamura - Most championships(3), did it in two different chassis, and he won the first ever D1GP event Ebisu 2001!

Nobuteru Taniguchi - 1st D1GP champion, Only champion in D1 to have a championship in Super GT as well.

Ken Nomura - Definitely the Dan Marino of the sport, 3rd place all time in points but zero championships. Most Definitely D1GP's poster boy....er man! lol

dont forget to put ur reasons for ur pics please!

[akuma S14]

1. Kazama Yasuyuki - The coolest showman in drifting. + he is a cool guy, not a dickhead like Nomura Ken.

2. Tanaguchi Nobuteru - Most precise and constistant driver when he was in the S15.

3. Koguchi Yoshinori - Easily the dopest privateer / keepin' it real bad-a$$ ever.

but guys like - Minowa Shinji, Sakuma Tetsuya, Kuroi Atsushi are in that mix too.

just my 2rmb

Kazama was always a nice person and I won't forget his rodeo drifts and high speed entries at Irwindale.

Kazama

Kazama and Taniguchi. All-time most epic rivalry in all of drifting and best to watch. Doesn't matter if it's D1, FD, WDS, XDC or your mama.
