What kind of wheels are on the Weld JZX100? They kinda look like Volk GT-F's but I know that isn't right...

Excellent coverage Mike !

I always liked Kawabata, not that the other drivers aren't good or anything, but he seems so relaxed and collected....a very humble man.....a true under-dog !

Not to mentioned the crazy crashes....like the one he got into last year at Suzuka......

Antonio, Yoshioka's SC looks so cool now. It still needs some dialing in though. It looked like he was having trouble getting much angle out of it.

Jeroen, actually I didn't even notice the canards were gone in some photos. Good eye! Man that HKS team is hardcore. They had like six spare differentials sitting in their pit!

Yiso, the stuff with the panda 86 is coming very soon!

Matt, thanks a lot I'm glad you like it. For our original event coverage (the stuff we actually go and shoot ourselves) we will be running more detailed stories (or a series of them) like this.

great write up.

i much more prefer articles, that are long like yours. The updates with just one picture and a paragraph are a waste time.

keep up the good work!

Great coverage Mike! I love the photos of Team Orange, and Yoshioka's Soarer!!! That yellow S13 convertible just got back from Greece, it belongs to Kumakubo! I rode with him in that car at Ebisu's touge!

I'm so glad Matsuoka san finally painted Yoshioka's Lex. That thing didn't look good at all when it was black.

Tokita is from an old school drift team called Canopus! He is an old friend of my boy Mitsuteru Igusa from Team Orange (the funny fat guy who serves as their crew chief).

Wish I could have been there, but I was in LA taking pics of girls and S2000s. Sigh, would have rather been at Odaiba.
