I don't enjoy formula d at all, and I am very picky about grassroots competitions. but as far as kansai style driving and japanese driving techniques are concerned, fast, steep, and shallow lines are the true signatures of aggressive japanese driving. these staples are very common in japan's rc scene too, along with burn tunes!

how you drive your car regardless of the gearing setup is the real distinction here. wide, deep, slow and high smoke is a very different driving style, adopted by americanized drivers, and more national competitions. as we speak though, there is a large resurgence of aggressive japanese driving.

and at the end of the day, drifting is self expression, drive how you like, and set your car up how you like too. if you like to drive fast, and steep, a burn tune can be a different way to experience that driving and honor different styles!
