No idea about the legal situation, but I imagine it’s not good for your health.

Yes, even just spectating street drifting is illegal. See Q3: [https://www.police.pref.kanagawa.jp/kotsu/bosozoku/mesf5013.html](https://www.police.pref.kanagawa.jp/kotsu/bosozoku/mesf5013.html)
I believe it is one of the reasons why you cannot enter Daikoku PA by foot any more.
I’ve had a hard think about this.
Not just in Japan, but illegal racing and/or drifting that does nothing but damages your car and also endangers innocent people is POSSIBLY the cuntiest thing to ever happen???
A lot of forbidden things are cool, but why, WHY,
WHY do people think this is cool? I’ll never understand.
The nuts and bolts are this… Yes, it’s illegal to spectate, but what is spectating? Hard to prove “spectating.” So what they do is hand out illegal parking tickets to spectators. If a place becomes a problem, they’ll go as far as putting up “no stopping” signs for certain hours.
