Furuppi RC posts the DreamTour 2026 Rd.3 top-tournament final from DRIFTBASE
A short vertical clip is, for now, the public record of the Rd.3 final shot at DRIFTBASE on 20 September. Here is what the upload actually establishes about the round, and what it leaves open.

This piece left the finalists and the judging open because the upload does not name them. The organiser, Drift Track, had already posted both on its blog. D-TEN of Team TOPLINE and KOSEI of DRIFT BASE judged the round, which ran on a control rear tyre, the BuzzBreak TOYO R1R, handed out on the day. The TOP tournament final, the battle in this clip, was MOCCHIY against RYOYA, and MOCCHIY won it. Drift Track's results post of 20 September has the full brackets.
Tour rounds go stale fast. A round runs, the series moves to the next venue, and unless somebody with a camera uploads, the only surviving record of a final is a results sheet and whatever got posted to a group chat. So when Furuppi RC posted the DreamTour 2026 Rd.3 top-tournament final as a vertical short, that clip became the public document of the round.
The upload is dated 4 October. The channel's description gives two hard details and no more: the circuit is DRIFTBASE, and the filming date is 2026/09/20. The channel describes itself plainly as posting RC drift video and filming RC drift competitions.
Format
What a top-tournament final implies, and what it does not
The title says トップトーナメント決勝 — the final of the top tournament. That tells you where in the running order the footage sits, not how it was scored.
In RC drift, a tandem battle follows the pattern the scene borrowed from full-size judging: each driver leads one run and chases one, the lead car drives the judged line and clipping points, the chase car is scored on matching that line with angle and close proximity, and a tie can be settled with a run-back. Events including D1-10 and Yokomo's RWD Twin Drift have run that structure.
What the posting does not do is confirm DreamTour's own rulebook. An event's rules override any general description of tandem judging, and nothing in this upload states how qualifying was run, how many cars reached the top tournament, how judges weighted line against proximity, or who contested the final. The brief for this piece flags those as open items, and they stay open here rather than get filled in from another series' format.
The surface question
Any read of a tandem final leans on surface. A carpet layout and a P-tile layout ask different things of a chase driver's throttle and gyro gain, and tyre choice follows the surface before it follows preference. The DRIFTBASE listing in this upload names the circuit and nothing about its floor, so this piece does not assign one. If you are planning to run the venue, check with the circuit rather than with a clip.
Elsewhere
The same week, a different kind of record
Tour footage is one half of how the scene archives itself; the weeknight half is the other. RC-Drift Network, a drift media channel on YouTube, posted a battle of the night tandem between Bryan and Jesus at RCHQ from Wednesday 30 September. No tournament bracket, no tour points — just a run somebody decided was the best thing that happened on the floor that evening.
The two uploads do different jobs. A tour final is the one run the series will be measured by; a battle-of-the-night clip is a venue telling its regulars what good looked like on a Wednesday. Both end up as the scene's memory, and both depend entirely on someone bothering to film.
Where to watch
The Rd.3 final short is on Furuppi RC's channel: DreamTour2026 Rd.3 DRIFTBASE top-tournament final, posted 4 October 2026, filmed 2026/09/20 at DRIFTBASE. At the time our data was pulled from the YouTube API it showed 856 views, 3 likes and 2 comments — small numbers for a tour final, which is usually what happens when the record of a round arrives as a short rather than a full battle edit.
