For the final post on the Toyota Motorsports Festival I want to concentrate on race cars, which is precisely why I chose to open with this shot of the Zent Cerumo SC430, as it tackles the infield hairpin at Fuji, the corner we are more used to seeing D1 cars flying by sideways on. Before the day closed with the final run of the Toyota F1 cars there was still plenty to see on track and in the pits... ...with all sorts of cars going out for demo runs like this tiny Gazoo iQ. I couldn't get over...

But I want to question if wheel offset is indeed the be-all-end-all of modified cars aesthetics around the world. For me cars with offset wheels are usually great, but it's a rule that doesn't always apply to all cars across multiple styles and genres. So let me put this alternative idea forward: Stance is Everything. How the car sits on its wheels -the stance, is the one element...
