Hot Version American Touge 1 2005 4k

DVD upscaled to 1920p (actually 2560x1920 4:3) for best youtube quality. I just wrote 4k in the title.
Hot Version goes West for the first time as Tsuchiya and Orido travel to California.
As you know the Touge Showdown is one of the popular segments in our DVDs and we are proud to been the one to export the word "touge" from Japan. With drifting gaining more and more recognition, the touge is being recognized as the place where it all started. That being said, Keiichi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido were both notorious touge racers before entering the world of professional motor sports. But they never forgot their roots were at the touge.
In this special American Touge Showdown we gathered cars from America's top J-car tuners willing to step up to the challenge. Will the US tuners endure heavy bagging? Or will they gain respect from the outspoken critics of the two experts from Japan? In the end they race the touge tail to nose to see which tuner will walk away with the first American Touge champion.
This English version has a longer director's cut compared to the Japanese version video! Footage you can only see here!
Featured Cars : Comptech NSX, Comptech S2000, Hasport EP3 Civic, Top Setup EG6, Techno Toy Tuning AE86 Corolla, Vishnu EVO VIII, XS Engineering Impreza and Honda S2000.
Featuring: Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido and Kazumi Kondo

The beginning of this makes me want to see David Freiburger (or similar) go to Japan and critique the local drag racing scene there.

this is indistinguishable from the dvd. these are early 2000s digital cameras, not much you can do. quality improves by american touge 3, they used better cameras.
