GRK最強決定戦 entry passes are done, and entry closes 16 October

This is not a sign-up-and-turn-up meeting. The post describes the GRK最強決定戦 as a gathering of the drivers who have won the right to appear in the main event, and it addresses the entry reminder specifically to "権利獲得の皆さま" — those who have secured that right. In other words, the entry form is the last step for a field that has already been decided elsewhere, not the first step for a newcomer.

How that right is earned across the GRK series is not set out in this post, and YAW has not confirmed it from another source. The same goes for the date and the venue of the 2026 final itself: the post says preparation is progressing and asks the qualified drivers to enter, and leaves the rest to the event site.

The post points to the application page under the heading 参加申請 on www.dr-grk.com, the GRK site.

GRK is the drift RC chassis brand of Shibata Jidosha Co., Ltd. of Sakahogi, Gifu, which set up beside its car business and built a fine-asphalt RC drift circuit in 2010; the first GRK chassis followed in May 2012. The current line runs from the AWD GRK GLOBAL and GLOBAL STANDARD kits through the switchable GLOBAL2 and GS2 to the RWD GRK4, GRK5, GRK5-R, GS2 EVO and GS2 Modified, plus the short-wheelbase GRK-M, which the maker lists as M-size with a 225 mm wheelbase. Whether the 2026 final is run on the company's own asphalt circuit, and whether the event restricts entrants to any particular chassis, surface or spec tyre, is not stated in this post.

For anyone following the event from abroad, the useful detail is the shape of it. A qualification-based final with printed competitor passes and a hard entry cutoff is a different animal from a weekly drift night, and the announcement is written for people who already know they are on the list.

If you are not on that list, there is nothing in this post to act on — no spectator information, no schedule and no location. Those are the pieces to watch for next, and they belong to the event's own channels rather than to this reminder.
