On December 18-19, 2004, there was a Japanese invasion at California Speedway. It was inaugural GT LIVE! event that brought Japanese D1 drift teams and JGTC (Now called Super GT) racing together for the first time on American soil.

In this exclusive video from the Driving Sports archives, we show off Rhys Millen drifting his Factory-backed Pontiac GTO (note how huge it is compared to the Japanese drift cars) and we also give you a driver’s view from inside the Cusco Subaru Super GT racer.

Yes, the video is produced in standard-definition because that’s what we had back then. Ask your grandpa.
