The energy is in the tire smoke pouring 'through the guardrail gap' and holding the slide 'inches from the rock wall' — proximity is what makes drift footage thrilling. A low chase cam that swings wide to the outside of the corner mid-drift is how real touge videos are shot. Naming Initial D loads the mountain-pass grammar; the negative prompt bans a crash so it stays controlled.

Paste the JSON straight into Veo 3 or 3.1, or hit Copy as prose for the flattened sentence version — both work, JSON just keeps the fields easy to tweak. To change the look, re-roll one field at a time (swap the camera_motion or lighting and keep everything else fixed). Want a different subject in the same style? Open it in the Veo 3 prompt generator and edit the fields.
