The Man Who Invented Drifting - Kunimitsu Takahashi
293Hello fellow tofu delivery bois!
.
Welcome to The History Room. Today, we'll talk about "The Father of Drifting". No, it isn't Keiichi Tsuchiya, as many car enthusiasts think. It's Kunimitsu Takahashi, also known as Kuni-san, or The Father of Drifting. (Yes that is his nickname.) Keiichi Tsuchiya, also known as "Drift King" is not in fact the inventor, he was only inspired by Takahashi, when he saw him race. Drifting as a sport evolved thanks to this man and his racing years. And... Is there an accident in the equation? There sure is! Watch to see more!
