Dajiban (literally "Dodge Van”) is a cult-favorite Japanese motorsport where enthusiasts race and drift retro full-size American Dodge Vans - done Japanese style.  It began as a joke when motorcycle racers decided to take their support vans onto the track during lunch breaks.  Dajiban typically relies on 2nd and 3rd generation Dodge B-series vans (1994–2003) equipped with dependable Magnum V8 engines. Despite their utilitarian, boxy profile, these vans are heavily modified for the track with upgraded suspension, massive body roll, and classic Japanese-style wheels (like Watanabes). The racing takes place in tight, wheel-to-wheel packs and features aggressive cornering, with annual main events held at the famous Ebisu Circuit in the Fukushima mountains.
