Mind Control: Masashi Yokoi Returning to Conquer Garrett International Drifting Cup

The stage is set for a high-octane showdown at the Yokohama World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) 2025, unfolding at Sydney Motorsport Park on September 5th and 6th. Among the titans preparing for battle, the highly anticipated presence of drift virtuoso Masashi Yokoi, representing MCR Factory, promises to ignite the competition. This year, Yokoi returns with a singular, unyielding ambition: to clinch the prestigious Garrett International Drifting Cup.

A true icon of professional drifting, Yokoi's reputation precedes him. His aggressive yet precise driving style has garnered global acclaim, evidenced by his multiple D1 Grand Prix championships and a significant victory in Formula Drift USA. His decision to re-enter the WTAC fray signals a direct pursuit of the International Drifting Cup title, setting the scene for a thrilling display of automotive control, having just missed a podium finish in 2024.

Fans will recognize the star of his assault: the formidable 1000HP 2JZ S14 Silvia, the same engineering marvel that commanded attention during the 2024 WTAC event. This MCR Factory masterpiece houses a fiercely tuned 2JZ-GTE engine, meticulously calibrated by MJ.C to unleash over 1000 horsepower. Its raw power is harnessed through a 3.4-litre BC Stroker kit and a GCG G40-1150 turbocharger, all precisely managed by a Link ECU and Ignition Project system.

Beyond its sheer power, the Silvia's chassis is a testament to cutting-edge drift technology. It features a comprehensive D-MAX suspension system, incorporating their Aero kit, Power Arms, and custom-tuned components, paired with an MCR Factory Knuckle for instantaneous steering response. An ATS Limited Slip Differential ensures unparalleled grip, crucial for executing Yokoi's signature deep-angle entries and sustained drifts.

This isn't merely a return; it's a strategic continuation of Yokoi's quest for dominance. With an intimate understanding of his MCR Factory machine and an unshakeable resolve, he is poised to deliver an even more commanding performance, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the track.
