Shuto Kousoku Trial 2
Episode 69
Saturday, 7 March, 2026

This week we drift back on to the Tokyo expressway to discuss 1990's Shuto Kousoku Trial 2. A semi-autobiographical film about professional racer Keiichi Tsuchiya, this film adopted an anti-street racing message, thus avoiding the ban the first movie faced. Spanning 6 films in total, the Shuto Kousoku Trial series had a major infulence on video game series such as Ridge Racer, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Gran Turismo and Forza Horizon. It also inspired manga and anime series Initial D, and The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift, of which Tsuchiya served as technical advisor and even did most of the stunt driving. So warm up the tires on your Nissan Skyline and prepare to drift into the night.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shuto-kousoku-trial-2--70524970#80s #90s #drift #drifting #eightsix #expressway #fairladyz #fast #furious #initiald #Nissan #racer #racing #ridgeracer #shuto #shutoku #Skyline #streetracing #Tokyo #xtreme #tokyoxtremeracer
