Regarding the race itself, August may be a little warmer compared to June, should be a good trial for the new Hypercar class.

A fine is just a price to do anything if you have enough money.

Yep, they were running on smiles with the SkyActiv diesel. It was all, “ Yeah, we melted the pistons, but this is R&D for the production cars because we’re racing with production parts.”

Typical Lexus owner that just wanted the most expensive one?

maybe so they get some wins with the Idemitsu logo clearly shown?

I thought all the cars they hacked up were tossed to the scrapper. I guess if it still runs it’s worth something, plus that Beta is now “configured” to cross water.

“Today on Handy Man Corner we’re going to show you how you can run your own airport!”

My eye went right to the Cosmo.

Car logos on stuff? No.

it’s a detail video, not a restoration.

I remember an American Pickers episode when one of the guys wanted to buy an old non-running motorcycle from an old guy who needed a cane to get around. Old guy refused offers because “I’m going to do something with it.” That’s probably what this RX-7 hoarder was like.

A little late, but youtube channel THE-RACE livestreams Japan’s Super GT and Super Formula as well other European series.
