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.

TEAM BOOSTAR
What is Team BOOSTAR?
Team BOOSTAR has begun operations as a support team for drivers aiming to participate in drift races in 2021.
Until 2023, three drivers have competed, mainly in the D1 series.
As I continued to compete with everyone who supported me, I grew little by little and was able to see the results of the races and the results of the challenges and efforts I had made.
As of 2023, TEAM BOOSTAR's activities primarily focused on driver support have come to an end.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported our participation.
From 2024, we will partner with drift-loving drivers and shops and manufacturers who support the marketing of the drift industry, and hope to spread the appeal of drifting to even more people through drift races and event activities. We appreciate your continued support for Team BOOSTAR.
