Here's a couple video clips that "Sassy", the owner of the IMSA-styled SA22C RX7 sent to us.

Besides the sights and sounds of the RX7, you can also catch a glimpse of many other Japanese classics running on the famous Suzuka Circuit.

 

Thanks a lot, Sassy!

Well, we are already halfway through April and the racing season is in full swing no matter which form of motorsport suits your fancy. While we were in Long Beach covering the ALMS race, the Japanese Super GT series took to the track at Suzuka Circuit for it's second race of the 2009 season....

My friends and I just got back from a drive to Mitsuwa, my favorite Japanese market in Torrance CA... While I was there, I began thinking about Japan and how much I miss being there, even though I was just there about four months ago. This being said, I began looking through one of my hard drives, and spotted this photo of RE Amemiya's D1 Street Legal FD3S RX7. This car is a lot more "normal" than the Amemiya D1GP competition FD that's always in magazines and videos. D1 Street Legal...

It's a beautiful sunny day in Tokyo right now - the rain has finally stopped (for a few hours, according to the weather report) but instead of going out to my favorite places in the city, I'm sitting in this dark cubicle in an internet cafe, because I know you all have been waiting to see my Super GT photos. Hopefully you guys like them - I'm doing this for YOU guys, Speedhunters readers! I'll be very honest. Going to a big race event like Super GT while you're in Japan is super...

Had to fill the current lull in Super GT activity with a shot of the GT300 Yunker Power Taisan Porsche. I love this car! This particular shot was taken at this year's Super GT opener at Suzuka. The next Super GT race will be held in a little over two weeks time at Sepang Circuit in Malaysia......

If you are somewhat familiar with Japan, you might know that this time of year is considered the "rainy season". It's not that cold, but sometimes days will pass before the sun comes out. The rain was falling hard at Suzuka Circuit this weekend where the third round of this year's D1 Grand Prix was being held. Of course, a little wetness wouldn't stop the top D1 drivers from pushing their cars to the limit and beyond. One my Flickr friends in Japan, scivi, braved the ugly weather...

In Japan, race queens are much more than just eye candy for race goers. They are a whole phenomena in themselves. There are magazines and photo books dedicated just to these trackside beauties, and there are even race queen figurines that are a perfect match for your scale model car collection. As I have mentioned before, there plenty of photographers who go to events for the sole purpose of covering the race queens. As a result of this, there are fine sites like RaceQueen Photogallery, which as...
