With all my Japanese photos spread across terabytes and terabytes of hard-drives there is one realist that came to mind – Yusuke Nojima-San. I thought I would share this particular shot specifically for 8/6 Day 2012. This day was definitely a highlight on my most recent trip to the motherland. I got to spend the day with part of the RWB Family being Shinji and Nojima. Personally I don’t think we could have picked a better location to contrast the serious looking circuit car. I hope you all enjoy and hope you’ve had a killer day in remembering such a inspiring chassis x

During my last week in Japan I wanted to get as much done as possible. I had been speaking to a few people who are heavily associated with the RWB family, such as Aaron Mai and Shinji Yoshioka. Both of these fellows were extremely helpful in every aspect. Shinji-San organised a Saturday with himself, in his 964RS and Nojima-San and his RWB AE86 for a day out purely to shoot their cars in some very authentic locations. Here is a photo I took of Shinji-San’s bright red 964RS driving back, changing up the angles of the cars. Plenty more to come from this day spent with some of the kindest people I’ve met to date x

TEC-ART’S Trueno prepping for some track time at Nikko Circuit. The SSRA / Spirant drift day was probably one of the best track days I’ve witnessed at Nikko x

Our first week in Tokyo was by far the busiest due to Golden Week. From streeting, touge, event meetups and specified drift days at tracks such as Nikko Circuit meant a lot of traveling was going to go down as soon as we landed on Japanese soil. One of the very first track days we went to was the SSRA Spirant Day at Nikko Circuit north of Tokyo where the buzzing sound of 4-AGE’s were to be heard. There were a handful of TEC-ART’S cars throwing down on the day but this one in particular was absolutely cranking the rear section of the circuit x

It has been a wet and busy week in Tokyo however today we had some sunshine up north at Nikko Circuit. We passed through Utsnomiya for the SSRA Spirant track day which an awesome turn out. We are currently in a cottage on a mountain in Nihonmatsu ready for a full weekend of drifting at Ebisu for the Spring Matsuri and the second round of Drift Muscle at Sugo Sportsland. Followed by that we will be driving down to Osaka for a week x
