The second event of the 2010 D1GP season was held over the weekend at Autopolis. Dino had another event, so he couldn't be there to shoot, but it was Masao Suenaga who took the victory after defeating Daigo Saito in the final. The event also included American drivers Sam Hubinette, Pat Mordaunt, and Mike Pollard, who drove JZZ30 Soarers borrowed
Time to wrap up the 2010 Hyper Meeting coverage with this final look at more action and some of the most powerful all-wheels-drive machinery in Japan, starting with the mighty AVO Impreza demo car, now sporting a lighter curb weight and even more power. As Ross explained they managed to shave off close to 60 kg by using lightweight materials and fitting
One of the biggest attraction of the Hyper Meeting is always the race cars and you can't get more aggressive than this GT300 Cusco Impreza, a car that was never particularly successful in Super GT but one that always grabbed the heart of enthusiasts. This is now replaced by the Legacy in the GT300 class. It is yet unknown if Zero Sport will create
Time to dive into the world of all-wheel-drive cars with a more detailed look at some of the action and at some of the rides on display from the 2010 Hyper Meeting. Like every year this is the first event that I get my first serious sunburn of the season, and the sun sure didn't spare my poor sensitive skin this time round either! Despite this I
After spending last weekend down in Nagoya it was back to the Ibaraki-ken countryside today for what has for many years been one of the biggest track events of the year, the Hyper Meeting. As I made my way through the paddock this morning I was very impressed with the turnout of cars, which seemed to span as far as the eye could see, and the number
I thought I post one final entry from the 2010 Exciting Car Showdown to keep everyone happy and show you yet more stunning JDM rides from what is one of the most important shows of the year. And what better car to kick this post off than with the D1 Motor Works built BNR32, created exclusively for track use. The HKS 2.8L kit and Trust T618Z turbos are
It's really too bad Japanese manufacturers have given up making cool little Kei sports cars lately. I mean just take a look at what Provile brought to the Exciting Car Showdown! This Honda Beat was sporting a killer stance running on gold VW Golf BBS rims (15-inch front, 16-inch at the rear). The car is fitted with a straight through exhaust, Buddy
If you wanted to feast your eyes on top class vintage machinery this past weekend at the Exciting Cars Showdown in Nagoya, the area around the G-Works stand was the place to be. This S30 looked like it just rolled off the production line, restored to perfection and packing a mighty 350 HP punch, thanks to a highly modified 3.2L L28 motor. The Hakosuka
Where to begin? With so many top cars on display at the Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown I think the best way to start the coverage is to dive right in. Abflug , together with Revolfe, had an amazing line up of cars with this little red MR-X doing a great job of showing everyone just how high their level of craftsmanship is. Every detail from the custom
It might be low-profile but there is absolutely no other show in Japan that comes close to the Exciting Car Showdown. Yet again this year I have been amazed at the selection I saw in the circular exhibition space of the Nagoya Port Messe, which was stuffed full of some of the coolest track, drag and drift cars in the country. I woke up at 3:00 am this
