Where would we be without Keiichi? A living legend, Keiichi Tsuchiya is a professional racing driver also known as the “Drift King” (otherwise as Dorikin) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events, and his role in popularising drifting as a motorsport. He’s also known for touge (mountain pass) driving. The car that he uses to drive has become one of the most popular sports cars these days, Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno (a.k.a. the “Hachi-Roku” in Japan (hachi-roku meaning “eight six”)).

Great site for Gran Turismo. The Gran Turismo series was developed by Polyphony Digital (Kazunori Yamauchi is a God) and is perhaps solely responsible for the introduction of Japanese performance cars to the rest of the world (big call I know but who would have thought I’d own a car I used to play with in a video game?!).
