UNDERSTATED: Top Secret GT-R at the HKS Premium DayPosted by Alexi in Workshops ワークショップ, tags: Fuji Speedway, GT-R, R35, Top Secret
What sort of reaction do you think you’d have when the 1000hp R35 GT-R you built did a 1’46.688 around Fuji Speedway while wearing the standard Dunlop run-flat tyres, then hit 311.19km/h on the front straight? Keep in mind that it’s just under a mile long (1.5km) and that F1 cars max out at 310km/h.

FRESHLY BUILT, FRESHLY BENT: Hibino’s 86 crash at OdaibaPosted by Alexi in Crash クラッシュ, D1GP, tags: 86, Odaiba, Tetsuya Hibino
It happened right in front of me as I was watching the practice rounds. DrooP’s crew were still working hard on the car when I left earlier tonight, so I hope we see the car out there again tomorrow. The forecast calls for rain though!

NOT LOUD ENOUGH: Leaving the 2012 Nagoya Exciting Car ShowdownPosted by Alexi in Alexi アレクシ, Video ビデオ, tags: JZX100, Mark II, Nagoya Exciting Car ShowdownMy exhaust is nowhere near loud enough to do this sort of thing. Speaking of that, you should have seen how Team Burst left. More on that later.

Here’s a preview of some of the cars on display at the 2012 Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown, which starts tomorrow morning. I was in there tonight setting up my car on the Missile stand, so I thought I’d run around quickly and get some pics before they kicked us out for the night. |
