Sad news filtering across the net today, with the sudden passing of D1 Legend Atsushi Kuroi.


Last night Atsushi Kuroi from famed Osaka street drift team TINKER and tuning shop RIVERSIDE suffered severe injuries from a motorbike accident. Details are a little sketchy at the moment and we don’t need to be spreading more rumours, but what we have gathered from Kazuya Bai is, Kuroi sustained a massive thigh injury causing him to bleed out during medical treatment in hospital.

Who could forget his massively overpowered yellow onevia from the early days of D1.

Kuroi and his onevia will be sorely missed by everyone in the drift community.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

-Papa.
