Tokyo Drift Tee

東京ドリフト (Tōkyō dorifuto): "drifting in Tokyo."

Tokyo's Shuto Expressway opened its first stretch in December 1962 and grew fast in the run up to the 1964 Olympics. Buying land in the middle of the city was too slow and too expensive, so engineers raised the road on pillars over rivers and old canals instead. That's why the C1 loop around the center bends so tightly and climbs and dips with so little warning.

A low coupe slides across the back with a stack of tires and a red sun box beside it, and the script line reads 東京ドリフト (Tōkyō dorifuto), "drifting in Tokyo." On the chest, a round badge with the car's nose sits under ゴッドカー (goddo kā), katakana for "god car."

A car meet is where this one belongs, black ink on white, layered under a coach jacket when the evening cools off. Somebody you know could draw the C1 loop from memory, and this is theirs. More Tokyo street racing tees are parked close by.
