Toshiki Yoshioka's Toyota AE86 is featured on this episode of riceboytv. Forget Takumi's cartoon tofu delivery car, the red Toyota you see here may very well be the most famous AE86 on the planet. Thanks in no small part to the skills of pilot Toshiki Yoshioka, this little 20-year-old drift car has literally taken on the biggest and best machines in the industry and trounced them. Yoshioka and his little Toyota have not only beaten the likes of D1 champ Nobushige Kumakubo and factory-backed uber driver Rhys Millen, this combination of diminutive driver and tiny car have taken home first place trophies in both Formula D and D1 competition.
