Yokomo’s Drift Single Round-28 put 160 drivers on Tsukuba’s GP course

The most useful detail for scene readers is the course name. Round-28 was held at Tsukuba RC Park’s Drift Grand Prix course, not just somewhere inside the park. For anyone following Yokomo’s competition calendar, that tells us the event belonged to a known Yokomo space rather than a one-off outside venue.

The supplied source does not state the surface or spec tire for Round-28, so those should not be filled in from memory. Tsukuba RC Park is strongly associated with Yokomo’s drift program, and the knowledge bank identifies it as Yokomo’s track and headquarters in Tsukuba, Ibaraki. But for this specific recap, the verified setup information stops at the named Drift Grand Prix course.

That leaves some practical unknowns. We do not have the class list in the supplied material, and we do not have the judging criteria used on Oct. 18. In RC drift competition, those details change the meaning of any result: a class can separate chassis type, driver level, tire rule or other organizer-defined conditions. Until Yokomo’s full report is checked directly, the cleanest summary is that Round-28 produced class results and top-finisher photos, not that a particular format or rule set was used.

The number traveling with this report is 160. RC Monkey’s summary says 160 drivers participated, based on Yokomo’s event report. For a single-round recap, that is the headline figure because it describes the scale of the day before any class results are even considered.

There is one editorial caveat: the human review should confirm whether Yokomo’s original wording counts unique drivers, total entries, or total participants across classes. In RC drift events, one person may appear in more than one class depending on the rules, and a translated or summarized count can lose that distinction. The supplied material uses the driver/participant framing, so this article keeps the figure tied to the report rather than turning it into a broader attendance claim.

Even with that caveat, the number says something about the series right now. Drift Single Round-28 had enough participation for Yokomo to publish class results and top-finisher photos, and it sits in a calendar that already points to the next domestic Drift Single date and an international cup. That is a series acting on continuity: run the round, publish the record, point drivers toward the next event.

The follow-on dates are part of the story. The next Drift Single is scheduled for Dec. 13, 2026, according to the same report summary. Before that, Yokomo has a Yokomo Drift International Cup scheduled for Nov. 15, 2026.

The supplied material does not confirm the venue, classes, entry process or rule packet for either upcoming event, so newcomers should not treat this recap as a registration guide. What it does confirm is that Round-28 was not presented as an endpoint. Yokomo’s report uses the results post to keep the competition calendar moving.

For a driver or builder trying to follow along from outside Japan, the useful path is simple: read Yokomo’s Round-28 report for the class tables and top-finisher photos, then watch Yokomo’s event channels for the Nov. 15 and Dec. 13 details. Before building a car around any assumption, confirm the class, surface, tire rule and judging format for the specific event you plan to enter.

Round-28’s public summary gives us a snapshot, not the whole tech sheet: 1/10-scale RC drift competition at Tsukuba RC Park, on the Drift Grand Prix course, with Yokomo reporting a 160-driver field and class results now posted. The rest belongs in the verified event report, where the names, classes and photos can be checked against the organizer’s own record.
