The high art of driving sideways!

Since the performance of the black rubber plays a decisive role, motorsport enthusiasts all over the world rely on high-performance tires from YOKOHAMA. And it doesn't matter whether it's off-road, in rallies or on asphalt. A very special discipline that is extremely popular, especially in Asia, is skillful speed drifting on the circuit. The 42-year-old Japanese Daigo Saito from Saitama near Tokyo is a top star of the scene. He is the only driver in the world who has so far managed to win the legendary Japanese D1GP series and the US American Formula Drift series, thereby winning the two most important titles in professional drifting. The Japanese currently relies on the semi-slick ADVAN A050 for the fast-paced lateral rider events, where Saito usually competes with custom-made racing machines that he has built himself. ADVAN is YOKOHAMA's global flagship brand for high-performance tires - in motorsport as well as on the road. The ADVAN A050 was developed by the Japanese tire manufacturer with the experience from numerous motorsport events worldwide. It offers excellent traction and is also characterized by first-class performance when cornering and braking.

How this can look in practice when a professional is behind the wheel can be followed by fans on YouTube. For example, a fast lap at the Koinoura Speed ​​Park in Fukuoka, after which there were significantly more flies on the side windows than on the windscreen of Saito's Toyota GR Yaris. Daigo Saito will give further spectacular samples of the high art of lateral driving later this month on the Kota Circuit in Aichi, the Owara Circuit in Toyama and on the Uryu Circuit in Hokkaido. There will also be videos of these drift events on YouTube shortly.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
