Rainy day spent at Suzuka Twin Circuit for a ひとみGO soukoukai with high-class teams from the kansai region. Never have I seen so much rainfall during a drift day. Standing out there for an hour being completely drenched including all my camera gear was totally worth it apart from a few things no longer working. This time of the year is seriously amazingly picturesque in Japan, purely because of the rain and spring sun making everything so colourful.

Also, this mightn’ be a photo of a car, however this, to me is just as interesting. Circuit marshals do such a thorough, swift job here in Japan it is always both entertaining and amazing to watch. Every event from D1 to grass-root soukoukai days are always in top order from start to finish x

Japan has once again been amazing. Over the last week or so I haven’t been doing as much shooting as I would have liked however we purchased a little Kei car to run around in and slowly work on. 2 nights ago I took the trip down to Osaka to attend a private soukoukai day at Meihan held by Nakamura and the Team BURST guys. Can’t wait for the next few weeks to roll on through and get to some more events. Here is a little update of an MR2 at Exciting Car Showdown x

A few weeks ago we headed out to Fuji Speedway for a TD Drift Club day on the short course. Unfortunately a few days prior we had a massive amount of rain in the Tokyo area which continued into our day at Fuji. Loading up with umbrellas and ponchos kept us motivated to get out and shoot around the huge precinct. After watching some drifting we thought we’d check out the main pit area where we found some amazing Porsche’s. More to come soon x

Sifting through the photos from our first track day in Japan – Motorland Suzuka, I came across this image of John Dollison tucking the ripple strip down the back end of the circuit. One thing I loved about this course was the amount of natural things I could use to enhance and compose my images. I’ve always been a fan of John’s car since I first saw it at last years Autumn Matsuri at Ebisu Circuit, Nihonmatsu. I’m hoping to attend the same Matsuri at the end of this year too.
