I used to follow D1 a lot from 2001-2004 but kinda got bored of all the politics and stuff.
I still don't mind D1 street legal as I think you get a better mix of different cars and drivers, not just the same half-dozen names on the podium all the time.
You guys should check out MSC, its like D1 but with a nice mix of cars, lots of older stuff like JZX81 chasers, KE70 corollas etc. and team drifting
btw, nomura drives an R34Gtt Skyline, not a BNR32 (which is the chassis code of a Skyline R32 GTR)
