An Experience of a Lifetime! Highly Recommend! - Takeshi and his crew and their cars provided an experience of a lifetime! We were looking forward to learning to Tokyo drift and it was a great value because of the lesson and the hands on driving with a teacher in the car. Takeshi and his crew were real drifters and they were so skilled, it was amazing. Highly recommend!

Great experience ! - What a great experience ! I’ve learn to do some donuts, reverse donuts with a miata and side break with a 350z and it was super cool. The teachers make you comfortable, explain and show you all the tricks and if you’re block or something they use that special language that only boys can understand. For my last day in Japan, it was perfect !

Leveling Up Sideways: 6 Hours of Drift Training with Matenro at Miami China Circuit - I had an incredible experience with Matenro Drift Racing at the Miami China Circuit, where I took a private drift lesson with coach Rosutaru. Over the course of around 6 hours of drifting, Rosutaru guided me through a progressive training plan aimed at mastering the challenging “Graduation” Course—packed with sweepers, hairpins, and technical transitions. Starting from simpler layouts, we gradually built up the difficulty, focusing on techniques like weight transfer, clutch kicks, and handbrake entries. Rosutaru’s coaching was sharp and methodical—he spotted every detail and helped me fine-tune each movement for smoother, more controlled drifts. He also shared stories from his early days of street drifting, adding depth and character to the session. Huge thanks to Matenro Drift Racing for organizing such a high-level experience. I left the track with real improvement, new insights, and a ton of motivation for the next session.

One of a kind experience - The whole experience was amazing. Takeshi picked us up on time and made sure we were comfortable before starting the lesson. The drift king was super patient and by the end of the lesson I had a good understanding of how to control the car. One of a kind experience and would recommend even if you are not into drifting. My girlfriend who has limited experience with manual cars was able to do some spins!

Amazing First Drift Experience! - This was my first time trying drift, and it was an incredible experience! Takeshi and the team were super friendly and knowledgeable, they hold so much love for the sport and it shows. Not only did I learn about drifting and the car, but also about Japanese culture and a bunch of other interesting things. It was raining hard the day I went, which made it a bit tougher to drift, but we still managed to get through the lesson, and it was a blast! Takeshi's English is excellent, and while the rest of the team speaks limited English, they use gestures effectively, making it easy to understand and learn. It shows they’re great teachers! In the end I left with a huge smile, amazing memories, and awesome videos. I can’t wait to continue lessons the next time I visit Japan!

PERFEKT EVENT - The trip with Takeshi was absolutely superbly organized. The event was held in a small group where there was enough time for everyone. We were picked up at the hotel by prior arrangement. You can get snacks on site. Drinks machine, toilet and drift thrills can be found on site. Recommended for car lovers and the scene. People who can't drift can stand on the sidelines and take videos
