The apology rule at RC SHOP MECCA, a Shiga shop with two drift courses

From the shop's circuit page, opened on 29 September 2026: the circuit is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 20:00, closed Monday, or Tuesday when the Monday is a public holiday.

Fees posted on the same page are ¥500 per hour with a ¥3,000 maximum per day, and a ¥10,000 monthly pass. Women pay half price, as do drivers up to high-school age. The page does not say whether the half-price rates extend to the monthly pass.

The circuit specifies its tires — ZR-DRPA, R31W436, DR-ST31PE and DT-AS-014 are among those named — and notes that the specification may change for events. The surface of each of the two courses is not stated on the page.

The house rules begin before anyone puts a car down. Drivers check in before driving or using the pits. Cleaner and oil are not to be spilled. High-draw appliances such as kettles and heaters are not permitted, and there is no smoking anywhere on the premises, the car park included.

On batteries, the page is specific: follow the maker's charging instructions, and always charge in a LiPo bag. Swollen LiFe or LiPo packs are not allowed in.

On the course, the rules are about everyone else's run as much as your own. Share the course and the driver's stand. If your car stops on course, or if you step onto the course to retrieve it, announce it loudly. Children must never enter the course.

The shop's home page carries an embedded blog that posts the day's オープンアタック count — 11 on 27 September, 2 on 29 September — and, through late September, the Drift Challenge entry list, which stood at 15 names on 29 September.

For how the shop runs a competition day, the record we have is Yokomo's own report from the Drift Challenge held at MECCA on 13 July 2025. It notes 34.3°C outside and drivers cooling down in the air-conditioned pits. After qualifying, according to that report, the MECCA manager ran an extra tandem bracket for drivers who had missed the Best 16, so that everyone kept driving rather than packing up.

Yokomo's event guideline for 11 October 2026 lists an RWD Expert class at MECCA, running rain or shine, with entry at ¥3,000. The event listing is on teamyokomo.com.
