Rd. 4 of the D1 Grand Prix was held from August 25th-26th at Ebisu Circuit, where our very own EXEDY sponsored Kenji Takayama put his machine through the corners with high speed and more than adequate angle to claim him and his team 2nd place in the solo run competition. Ebisu Circuit, known as Eastern Japan’s heaviest hitters in terms of widely recognized tracks, Kenji’s second place finish was well fought and most deserved.
