Some of sad news from the Japan today. Veteran D1 driver, Atsushi Kuroi passed away from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. Kuroi san’s wounds were too severe, and he bled to death within four hours of arriving at the hospital.
His visit here for the TOYO Asian Pacific Drift Open Malaysia is my 1st chance to met him live, it was June 2008. All these while, I was fascinated with his performance, and TOYO APDO is one hell event that cant be missed. Seeing him live doing his stuff, it’s like the world is blown away by him. The smoke, the angle, the sound, is very well present in his blue One-via rb26. He was a friendly chap too. A smile is never fade from his face.
Truly, the drift scene will never be the same with his absence. The way he drove his S13 Onevia was always gangster as f*ck; with supreme amounts of angle, big smoke, and aggressive transitions that always looked cool as hell.
This is my tribute to him. All pix was taken back in 2008. Check out the video i found in youtube as well after the gallery. When he smoke, he smokes REALLY BAD.
RIP Kuroi-san.
