Just slapped another sneak peak video together a really short video of some filming that took place last week at a Nikko D1SL event and at one of the most amazing touges i have ever seen, check it out!!!
Been another crazy weekend with a little bit of film at D1SL, then some of the most amazing touge i have ever seen in my life. Take a quick look at these snaps to see what i am talking about.
Heres some snaps taken off the video camera from D1SL, close drifting is an understatement.
This is just a progress video clip to show you we are moving forward week by week with filming.
Nothing special nothing in depth just a quick slap together for you.
This is just such a great old school video with a heap of top level drivers doing what they do best at Mobara. For me I really rate Taniguchi, I think hes one of the top 3 drifters in the world, some of the best S15 driving i have ever seen.
Its the start of an insane weekend and to kick it off is the heart stopping breeze that brushes across you skin instantly waking you up from your slumber. Its a weekend like no other, its Ebisu Drift Matsuri! Three events a year held at the world famous Ebisu circuit over the course of 2 days, ohhh did I forget to mention 2 days 32 hours non stop drifting from sunrise to sunset. Ebisu is scattered with more tracks in one location then you could ever dream of and filled with hundreds of people all with the same passion for drifting.
There is no event on this earth that can compare to the pure insanity that happens at a Drift Matsuri, the countless crashes and cars rolling around on their roofs, the people you meet and friends you make all come together to make one event you will never forget.
Say Japan and the next word you think of is Touge and we have plenty of it around Gunma. Gunma was made famous by the well known manga series Initial D and its easy to see why this manga series was based around Gunma due to the large amount of bordering mountains and the touge it contains.
Here’s a few snap shots from a small video I’m putting together.
The video along with a little write up and a few photos will be live on my blog this week. Those of you who have already subscribed will be the first to see the action.
When I first landed in Japan I refused to buy a car that I could get back in Australia, for me there is no fun in modifying a car that I have already owned or I have seen parked on every corner street so I set out on the hunt for a JZX100. I slowly started to notice that the JZX100 was parked on every corner street in Japan and at any local track day they would make up the large majority of cars in the field. This coupled with the fact they have a chassis about as rigid as banana and after one good crash it would also be shaped like a banana my good friend Hoshino from Hoshino Car Style told me a JZX90 would be the best bet due to the smaller numbers seen on track days and a much stronger and stiffer chassis design, I agreed as he would be the one fixing my car when I crashed it.
