I have too many favourites. Alot of drivers are so skilled and talented that I admire their car control and ability to mold their drift style into their personality.
1) Keiichi Tsuchiya - after seeing so many touge showdowns, Dk caught my admiration when he would speak while hammering a car he doesn't know. As well as he is one of the few drifters that don't let go of the steering wheel, his hands move so quickly it looks as if he's flailing about madly. Also, he has fun and enjoys the sessions.
2) Manabu Orido - he's just so cool and mellow. His style is so laid back and relaxed that u can't tell he's drifting at all. And his personal Supra...OMG!!!
3) Nobuteru Taniguchi - at the start i thought NOB was overestimated. But being able to switch between grip racing for such a high level sport like time-attack, and then taking HKS' D1 car an creating voluminous clouds of acrid rubber...that requires real marbles.
4) Yasuyuki Kazama - the crazy SOB of the sliding sport. Kazama's throttle control and steering inputs are so bloody fast that u don't realize unless u rewind and slow the tape. I admire him for coming through the ranks as an ae86 mechanic to almost drifting into bankruptcy and then onto being the pilot of an S15 D1 car.
5) Youichi Imamaru & Katsuhiro Ueo - the original ae86 street thugs. Always stuck to the underpowered corolla as their personal means of 'fling' and with it improved their abilities

This is just a few that I can remember offhand
