​Since its first running in 2013, Drift Matsuri has fast become one of the UK’s most well-loved drift events. 
Taking the focus away from the competitive side of the sport, Matsuri’s ‘friendly and fun’ atmosphere combined with Rockingham’s top-notch facilities make it a favourite of drivers and spectators alike.

This year’s Matsuri was a rather rain-filled affair, the soggy conditions leaving the track surface incredibly greasy - far from ideal for pulling off reverse entries. Still, the less than stellar weather didn’t seem to put anyone off pushing their cars hard.

And what a collection of cars there was. All of the usual JDM favourites abound; from VIP-style Chasers right through to ratty MX-5s - and everything in between. Perhaps the standout car for me was Lee Barker’s Midnight Motorsport ER34 Skyline. Matsuri was my first time seeing - and hearing - the car in person, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint.
​
All in all, if you were in any doubt over whether to attend this year, you might want to mark it in your 2018 calendar. Let’s just hope for a bit less precipitation next time round.
