It's been 10 years since GT LIVE hit Cal Speedway with the first American mashup of D1 Drifting and JGTC (now called Super GT.) This was also the last time JGTC was on American soil. We just scraped the archive for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The first part of the video features the Cusco Subaru JGTC 300 class-STI, including their unfortunate "off" at speed.

The second part of the video features the D1 Championship finals. Originally, the two events were scheduled for the same date at different locations, but GT LIVE brought them together.

Notice that the drift cars don't look like porcupines? This video pre-dates GoPros, so the drift cars don't have 50 different cameras attached to them. I think we can all agree cars look a lot better "naked."

Enjoy the video, in all of its Standard Definition glory. Hopefully we can enjoy Japanese Super GT back in America at some point.
