Yokomo posts the event program for Drift Single Round-28

What we can state from the material is narrow and worth being plain about. Yokomo published the item, it is titled as the event program for Drift Single Round-28, and it is hosted on teamyokomo.com.

The material in front of us does not carry the date, the venue, the class list, the entry method, the tire rule or the judging sheet. None of that is missing from the event — it is on Yokomo's page, in Japanese, and that is where an entrant should read it rather than from any English paraphrase, this one included.

The round number in the title belongs to this event's own count. Yokomo's Drift Meeting series numbers its rounds separately, and had passed Round 112 by 2020, so Round-28 should not be read across to that series' tally.

Yokomo has been running its own drift competition since February 2005, when the Drift Meeting series started. Those rounds are held mainly at Tsukuba RC Park (Yatabe Arena), with classes that have included RWD Twin Drift, RWD Masters and AWD, plus collaboration rounds elsewhere in Japan. Alongside Drift Meeting, Yokomo also runs Drift Single and Drift Dance events, which is where Round-28 belongs.

That is an unusual arrangement to look at from outside Japan. The company that develops and sells the chassis also owns the facility and sets the calendar, so a class structure is at once a competition format and a statement about what the maker thinks its cars are for. A twin class and a single-run class ask different things of a build: one is scored against another car on track, the other is a car and a driver alone in front of judges.

Yokomo's credentials for doing this are long. Founded in 1973 by Tomoaki Yokobori and based in Adachi, Tokyo, with its track and headquarters in Tsukuba, Yokomo made the 2003–2004 Drift Package that is widely credited with starting RC drift as a hobby. Its RWD line ran through the YD-2 family and is now sold in Rookie Drift, Super Drift and Master Drift tiers. A round program posted on the maker's events blog is a direct line from that history: the same company, the same site, still publishing timetables.

The program is on Yokomo's events blog: ヨコモ ドリフトシングルRound-28 イベントプログラム. Past Drift Meeting rounds are reported on the same site, which is the best available picture of how Yokomo documents its own events: an earlier round report gives a sense of the format those write-ups follow.
