MSC Challenge

Originally, D1 was the perfect event to see the privateer drift go head to head with the pros in everyday, street tuned cars. Now however, with the addition of various sponsors, D1 has become for for the wealthy than the privateer to compete in. The cars competing no longer mirror ones you would be able to build or see on the street. The D1 events also always end with predictable winners, leading to speculation of fixed competition. This is where the MSC Challenge comes in. Founded by Manabu Orido and Nobuteru Taniguchi, drivers of D1 and Professional Motorsports fame, MSC aims to be the drifting competition to take the place of the void left by the D1 Grand Prix. Unlike the D1, the MSC is more of a grassroots type competiton accessible to the privateer drifter and much more enjoyable to watch because of the close competiton, much like the now defunct BM competition and ongoing Ikaten. This is possibly one of the biggest reason for MSC's success in the drifting world today.
