TeamBOOSTAR
TeamBOOSTAR started its activities in 2021 as a support team for drivers aiming to participate in drift races.
By 2023, three drivers had participated mainly in the D1 series.
We have continued to participate with the support of everyone and have gradually grown, allowing us to experience the results of races, challenges, and efforts.
As of 2023, activities focused on supporting TEAM BOOSTAR driver support have ended. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported our participation.
From 2024 onwards, we hope to collaborate with shops and manufacturers who support drift drivers and the drift industry's marketing. Through drift races and event activities, we hope to further spread the charm of drift to more people.
We kindly ask for your continued support for Team BOOSTAR.
