Cars that choose to take on the not-so forgiving walls of Minami generally mean they can steer. I was a bit iffy seeing this little Trueno hatch drive out for the first time. 10 minutes in, my jaw was dragging the bitumen. If there was a stand out car that was smashing Minami, in a good way it would have to be this little AE86. I remember standing inside the pits and watching it hop over the jump, screaming past the wall. Each time I had to either cover my ears and or look away, I’ve never heard a car this loud before.
Exiting off the wall, entering into the tight left corner he gained unbelievable amounts of angle every single time. One reason why he was such a standout was definitely his level of consistency. Note; his facial expressions.
As I’m listening to Japanese hip-hop i’m finding it extremely hard to believe the 3 week trip to Japan has unfortunately come to an end.
Over the 3 week period, the amount of driving, cars, workshops and sights we saw was truly spectacular, we wouldn’t of had it any other way. Each day of the trip became the best day of my life, the amount of cars we saw was sometimes too much. Experiencing such events and witnessing such cars in real life is really overwhelming especially when you’ve been dreaming of seeing for years and years. Plenty of photos to come guys!
I plan on going back as soon as possible. That place has definitely left it’s mark on me.
Casey.
