Damn I want to see how Marco stacks up against the US Drivers.

Also interested in seeing JTP drive. I remember when he was an amateur attending Just Drift sessions and ripping it up at HTM. I haven’t seen him drive PRO so I’m real interested in how he does. I remember him beating Forrest at Nopi though. Now that I mention Forrest, surprised he’s not on the list!

After hanging our with the guys from Garage Boso (Frank Schrath and Ross Petty) who build and maintain some of the Falken Cars this statement couldn’t be more true. The live in a rented house with 4 other people for a total of 6 people and barely scrape by.
