MSC is my by far my favourite event I’ve shot in Japan. The paddock are always full of so many vibrant colours. Here are some favourites from YZ Circuit a few months back x

YZ Circuit x MSC Challenge x motorFIX E7, the simplicity… x

Seeing YZ Circuit was a first for me last trip. It was definitely worth the drive back from Osaka to Nagoya for the weekend. Nagoya is almost like a different little world in itself, haggard drift cars driving around the town all day everyday, a bunch of UP GARAGES, workshops and plenty of action everywhere. Here is one of my favourite cars from MSC Challenge x

Rolling up to Higashi YZ Circuit for a MSC round I didn’t really expect what cars were going to be in the paddock. Walking around the pits at MSC is always put stress on the brain, there are so many bright and colourful cars you don’t know where to look or point the camera. In the mist of all the cars I saw two stupidly low R32 Skylines, yep, R32 Low Down Style. This crew has been around since I was 2 years old, 1993 to be exact. For so many years I have watched, admired and dug through so many archives to try and find more and more photos of these cars so this day was literally a dream come true. Unfortunately the main car, this one above did one warm up lap and had some issues for the car which made him forfit for the day. That however didn’t stop him from driving home. This is basically the only photo I got of him on the circuit but I have a few of him exiting the event. x

R32 Low Style. Seeing this team at MSC YZ Circuit was a dream come true. A full day of drifting and then driving home is how these dudes roll x

The weather on my previous Japan trip was literally perfect. When I arrived the days had a slight hint of summer and the nights were still chilly. Events, in particular were absolutely perfect lighting conditions especially when the sun dropped beneath the mountains at YZ Circuit x

The ever so famous motorFIX E7 wagon from the Kansai region of Japan, Nagoya. This car is seriously cool in real life, so much to look at but have to resist touching anything! x
