Return To Matsuri : Part I
So what a crazy weekend once again in Fukushima, Japan for the Ebisu Drift Matsuri. The weekend started off with a negative vibe forecasted for rain all day Saturday and partly on Sunday but still this did not stop us getting over 40+ plus interviews with the drivers at the event including, Daigo Saito, Naoto Suenaga, Paul Vlasblom from Holland and a heap of Aussie’s and Japanese locals.
The first set of photos below are from a little digi cam Don Vito was using all weekend but stay tuned as the next post will be snap shots taken from my camera of all the close up action, crashes and one on one interviews.
Here i am pictured below filming on the famous Minami D1 course.
