TomoCheca’s
Drift School

SPEED HUNTERS

Never tried drifting but you’re inexplicably drawn to it? Or maybe you’re keen to progress your drifting skills? Whatever it is, TomoCheca’s Drift School is for you! TomoCheca is an ex-D1 Grand Prix driver and he’ll teach you how to drift right up from the basics. Our “Arrive and Drive” style program includes the use of our own drift cars, so all you really need to do is just bring yourself! Want to practice with your own car? That’s fine too! Our lessons are held at Fuji Speedway, an incredible location where you can challenge your skills against the amazing backdrop of Mt. Fuji.

As your skills progress, one day you might want to own your very own drift machine, and TomoCheca will help you find a car that works best for you, based on your skill level, style and of course taste. If you purchase a car through us, we even offer the option to store it in our garage.

About TomoCheca

TomoCheca works hard with his ambition of becoming one of the "Cheka Rangers," a group of superhero which is the mascot characters of Fuji Speedway. However, even after 8 years of workings, his status as a superhero is still remaining "unofficial." Although his effort is yet to bear fruit, it made him a popular figure at Fuji Speedway with lots of fans and supporters.

TomoCheca has now revealed his hidden talent. He is actually an experienced drift driver! With his abundant knowledge and skills in drift driving, he has even served as a judge at the D1 Grand Prix. He is known for his great teaching skills also. (Not very good at speaking English. Very sorry, but we can work out!) TomoCheca is looking forward to meeting with you all at TomoCheca Drift School!
