Vintage Kyosho F1












A very nice example of what Kyosho can do ran some laps at our circuit today.

This chassis has a ton of scale features such as inboard shocks and front brake ducts. This chassis is around 15 years old and though parts are scarce it would make a nice display F1 rc. Best found on Ebay.

RIDE Re Releases Their F1 Rubber Tire Line UP




At the end of this month RIDE will be re releasing their F1 tire and wheel line up. These are great tires and have groves in the thread and Bridgestone side walls for some added scale. Both the front and rear tires are the popular "A" compound and include sponge. The wheels will only be available in silver at first,but Ride has made them in black before so that might be something we see in the future. We will be carrying these for the customers who like to run rubber.

Just send use the pictures at master@d-drivesportsenglish.com and we will change up the photo. Thank you

So where and what is D-Drive Sports

D-Drive Sports started 8 years ago as a company to make parts for the Tamiya F103 chassis.Simple parts such as wheels were not available then like they are today. We started with F1 wheels,chassis plates,Indy wheels,F1 Bodies. These parts were sold and F1 racing was held at local circuits here in Japan sponsored by us. After a few years we opened our own circuit as the others had come and gone. We run a F1 series that starts and stops along with the same time line as real F1. In our off season we run Direct Drive touring cars and "M" Chassis races.

F1 events are ran as an all day event. Its a one day one class event. Along with the 12 minute mains and and extended practice time it makes for a full and enjoyable day.
Chances are if you are reading this you are not in Japan. If you find yourself visiting Japan let us know and we can provide information about how to get here. But untill then you can find us here on Google Earth.
