Super Street interviewed Kazunori Yamauchi after E3 and this is an excerpt from the article:
"SS: Now to go in a different direction, many of the JGTC drivers we speak to--Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido, Nobuteru Tanaguchi--say as much as they drive JGTC, the love drifting. So we're wondering, will we see any D1 Grand Prix-type events at circuits like Bihoku Highland?
KY: Because we are continually seekign the real feel of the car, the physics engine has improved significantly. The is will allow for the car to act more naturally, thus you can drift more accurately in the game. Previously, we provided drift tires, drift mode-stuff like that. However, I'm comfortable saying that drifting will be more real in GT4 than it has been in the past. With that said, I am concidering a variety of game modes, some of which I cannot share. One significant one--probably the one that you ar ethe most concerned about--is we will include a "Drift Contest" in the game. We may not name is "D1," however we hope to provide that kind of experience for you."
Later he also went on to say they are going to try adding even more tuner cars, and allow a greater variety of tuning. My excitement over GT4 just went up several notches.
