FDJ Ebisu Round 3: TTSPORT Drift Brakes Power a Podium Run

At Formula Drift Japan Round 3 in Ebisu, drivers running TTSPORT's DR6/DR4+2 dual-circuit drift brake setup swept a stack of results — including a single-run championship for Xia Changhao in his Nissan S15.

Ebisu: FDJ's Toughest Proving Ground

Ebisu Circuit is where drift culture started, and it's still one of the hardest venues on the FDJ calendar. The layout is fast, the tandem battles run close, and drivers are on the brakes hard and often — corner after corner, lap after lap. That combination punishes a caliper's ability to hold heat, stay consistent, and keep the pedal feeling the same on lap twenty as it did on lap one.

At the just-concluded FDJ Round 3, TTSPORT's DR6/DR4+2 front-six/rear-six drift brake setup was on grid after grid of cars — and it delivered again.

Why This Setup Holds Up: DR6 Front, DR4+2 Rear

A growing number of professional drift drivers worldwide have switched over to the TTSPORT DR6/DR4+2 front-six/rear-six dual-circuit drift brake setup, and it's currently the most-run and best-recognized Chinese drift brake package in top-level competition.

Front: TTSPORT DR6 Six-Piston Caliper

The DR6's staggered, progressive piston sizing is built for the repeated hard-braking cycles drift racing throws at it. Bigger pistons up front handle the initial bite; smaller pistons taper the pressure curve so the pad clamps down smoothly instead of grabbing. That keeps output strong and linear even after back-to-back heat cycles, so the driver gets a pedal that tells the truth run after run.

Rear: TTSPORT DR4+2 Dual-Circuit Six-Piston Caliper

The DR4+2 folds the foot-brake and hand-brake hydraulic circuits into one caliper body. The two circuits run independently and don't interfere with each other, but sharing one housing instead of running separate calipers cuts unsprung weight and reduces caliper flex under load. Less flex means a firmer, more predictable rear brake bias — exactly what a drift car needs when the driver is kicking the rear loose on demand, corner after corner.

Xia Changhao's S15 Takes the Single-Run Win

Xia Changhao ran the full DR6/DR4+2 setup on his Nissan S15 through the whole event — DR6 six-piston up front, DR4+2 dual-circuit six-piston out back. Across multiple rounds of close-quarters tandem chasing and high-speed single-run qualifying, the brakes showed zero fade and kept output linear, which let him place the car exactly where he wanted it lap after lap.

The final result: FDJ Ebisu single-run champion, and tandem third place.

A Grid-Wide Choice, Not a One-Off

Xia Changhao wasn't the only one running this setup. Japanese driver Kobashi Masanori (Toyota Supra A90), along with Zhu Yuanlu and Dai Xiaoxiang (both in BMW E92s), also competed the whole weekend on TTSPORT's front-six/rear-six drift brake kit.

Different cars, different driving styles, different countries — all landing on the same braking package. That's the clearest sign this isn't a lucky result. It's a setup that's been proven out at the top level of international drift competition.

Chinese Braking Tech, Standing on a World Stage

Drift's top-level braking market used to be locked up by imported brands. Now a growing list of professional drivers around the world are running TTSPORT by choice, and the brand just came off an FDJ home-turf round in Japan with a champion on the podium.

A demanding track like Ebisu, the intensity of FDJ-level competition, and real results from real drivers on the grid — that's the kind of track record that matters. TTSPORT plans to keep building on it, backing more drivers chasing podiums on drift's biggest stages.
