1Ebisu CircuitCar racing venue · Nihommatsu4.6 (1,694)Open · until 5 PMEbisu Circuit, 1 Sawamatsukura, Nihommatsu, Fukushima 964-0088, Japan- Car storage and resale — Many drivers buy their cars at Ebisu racetrack, where they can keep them in storage and then sell them back (or what's left of them) at the end of their visit. It's a cool concept for those on holiday who want to drift without owning a car long-term.
- Drift car rental/purchase — You can buy a car directly at Ebisu Circuit, store it there, use it when you visit, and then sell it back. This makes it accessible for international visitors or those who don't want to transport a car.
- Set of tires · $200 — A set of tires costs about $200, and you can go through two sets a day, making drifting an expensive hobby.
- Tire cooling system — On sunny days, tires burn a lot faster. Drifters use a water tank and a switch in the front of the car to spray water on the tires to cool them down, which is an incredible piece of engineering.
