Strategy
Thus there is a great amount of skill that is required for you to beat this course. Every drift of this slope are all hairpin drifts but many consecutive ones, it seems as if the slope is never ending. The Iroha Slope belongs to the team "Emperor" which drives the Mitsubishis which gives them the advantage of 4WD and great power. There is nothing more to this slope than just drifitng and passing corners after corners. The first opponent seems easy for you, because its there to show you what the course is like. After you have beaten the first opponent, the second will be much harder and until you get to Caine. He is the best of that slope, not only is he perfect in the slope but he added the "Shortcut" of how to pass those hairpin turns. Once you get the hang of drifting all those hairpin corners try to copy his style of short cutting those turns. He seems quite fast in the beginning, since you don't know how to pass the Toyota MR2 G-Limited (SW20), but once you get the hang of the shortcuts, this map wouldn't be too bad.
