WTCC 2009

Yet again, involved as translator for this premier event.This year supported by Formula Asia, Asia Le Mans and Formula BMW.All amazing to watch in action and each with it`s own stand out points.The noise and crowds were amazing as was the competition.It was personally nice for me to be able to catch up with a lot of cool people I had first met a yar earlier.My personal highlights (of which there were many) was meeting and chatting with Tom Coronal AND meeting Mr.

The amazing, the outrageous, the slammed, the downright WRONG drives

Wanted to add a little fun and as this is a blog that`ll build up as I come across insane cars, please check it from time to time;)

Added the first 2 machines now!Kumi Koda truck notes.Kumi is very popular sexy Japanese singer and HOT:P!Unfortunately front picture of truck didn`t come out but was complete with MASSIVE chrome front bumper and vior as well as hanging chandalier (I kid you not).If I find it again I`ll get proof;)

D1 GP Okayama 2009

Well, took a little longer than thought to put together this very sparse range of pics.I attended all Saturday and Sunday afternoon.Plenty of action and clinical driving skills by ALL the drivers.The lines were amazing and level would rate as highest I have seen at D1 for some time as far as consistancy is concerned.My pic skills suck and after this lot have decided to dedicate some serious time to developing this art;)

Droo-P Pro Shop 2009 Spring visit

Situated about  90minutes drive away from us is highly reknowned drift pro shop Droo-P with yellow mohican owner Matsuoka-san at the helm.With a long history in the drifting and D1 scene, this shop puts out primo, top line machines.Droo-P shop underwent a major revamp late 2008 with some serious capital investment to further enhance the Droo-P product.A top class showroom to add to the already substantial buildings on site, as well as swapping from the trusted AE86 to Lexus D1 demo car and you know that Droo-P means serious business!Matsuoka-san is never a man of many words but was as hospitable as always.The boys were in a bit of a rush due to D1 event at Autopolis 2 days after my visit and were busy packing to head out that evening!Enjoy the pics and check out the crazy 1800cc NA 2door AE86 with massive feet;P Gone from standard 13" to mighty 17" with approximately -45 offset wheels and car is insanely wide!Serious wheel arch and fender modifications but totally worth the effort in my opinion.
