The Shuto Circuit

ABOUT.

FAQ.

an underground street racing roleplay inspired by tokyo drift.

set in early 2000’s japan — where illegal night runs, drifting culture and tight knit crews collide with real consequences. this is a character driven rp focused on racing, rivalry, romance, found family and the slow climb through the underground scene.

preview: the plot.

ꉂ ᵎᵎ raidori !! is the underground racing world’s annual, invite only expo!! crews from tokyo, osaka, los angeles, miami, brazil and beyond come together for three nights of partying, drugs, car shows and racing.

until it collapses. the last night ends in a crackdown. the expo is shut down and all street racing are declared highly illegal in japan. names leak, garages get raided and anyone connected is on a watchlist.

japan’s government has implemented temporary travel restrictions. passports are flagged. flights monitored. names are circulating. foreigners who came for the expo, leaving japan isn’t simple!

now the scene survives in fragments — hidden meets, rerouted highways, coded bulletins and quiet alliances. some racers disappear. others double down. every run risks fines, arrests, or worse.
