Dunno if D1 has changed much since I last followed it years back, but I know judging was based on speed (entry and exit), angle, and tire smoke. Things like letting off the throttle and not holding it will hurt you, that’s why Kazama was the man. Balls to the wall, WOT, like a bat out of hell.
Looks like they have improved Odaiba a ton. I love the small tracks/ parking lots they use in Japan.
