Time Attack Motoring
Untouchable. That would be a word I'd use to describe Fire Ando's Escort Evo IX. Of course, this would only apply at Attack Tsukuba where Under Suzuki's Scorch Racing Silvia has been missing in action for quite some time now. With no real news on when the S15 will be ready again, the Escort Evo... Continue Reading →
So here we are, I've finally gone through all the photos from Japan which leads me to this post with shots from my visit to Arvou out in Tochigi Prefecture. Arvou, in my opinion, is similar to Pro Shop Fukuoh in the fact that both are out in the boonies and are not quite visiter... Continue Reading →
The final post on the Attack Tsukuba event has finally arrived... I've been putting it off for seemingly an eternity because I got side tracked with other shit but the biggest culprit was my laziness. Nevertheless, it's better late than never and I finally got through the rest of the photos from the event today,... Continue Reading →
As I've mentioned on my previous posts, the Mazda RX7 FD3S has been a pretty dominant platform for time attack in Japan for many years. This year at Attack Tsukuba, the RX7 FD have yet again proven itself to be a premier time attack option by securing some of the fastest times on grid. But... Continue Reading →
Positioned closely to the Technical Auto One's FD was Radial Class competitor, Auto Gallery Yokohama R35 GTR. At first glance, the car looked like a full Varis example, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a mixture of Nismo, Auto Select,Top Secret and Varis all rolled into one beautiful package. With this aero setup, full interior,... Continue Reading →
So I was initially just going to finish up the Attack Tsukuba coverage with one more post but I realized there were still a little too much material to be grouped in a single post. Therefore, here's another car spotlight featuring the Technical Auto One's RX7. Running in the Second Class with just under 400HP,... Continue Reading →
As you can tell from Part 1, there were quite a few Hondas present during Attack Tsukuba this year, but there were also a few other makes and models that made their presence felt. One of these were the AE86 squad which had a very strong showing this year, and also the RX7 FDs were... Continue Reading →
When I started this site nearly eight years ago, I really didn't have a sense of direction as far as what I really wanted to post. I posted music, I posted girls, and I posted cars... it was pretty much all over the place and became a mess. There were a few times where I... Continue Reading →
I've always known that the FD was a very capable time attack car, and its presence is always felt at any circuit in Japan. But this year at Attack Tsukuba, their place as a top platform for time attack was really made noticeable. I'm talking nine out of the top twenty finishers were FDs which... Continue Reading →
The myth, the legend, the icon, whatever you want to call it, the Autobacs ASM Yokohama S2000 is undoubtedly the holy grail of S2000s and it was a pleasure to see it competing at Tsukuba once again. I've personally seen the car a couple of times at ASM HQ out in Yokohama, but seeing it... Continue Reading →
Early last year, when I first saw the Escort Evo out in Tsukuba, it was literally draped in bare carbon fiber and looked rough around the edges. Fast forward to October of last year, the car debuted on the world circuit in Australia with a fresh VivaC livery and a revamp of their Voltex aero... Continue Reading →
You ever get those giddy feelings and wide smiles when you see a car that just lights up your day? Well, the Car Shop Dream RX7 does just that for me, and it's my third time seeing this beast in person. The last time I saw this car was during the World Time Attack Challenge... Continue Reading →
I can't believe it's almost time to ring in the new year, and I can't believe I'm sick again... which is why I have time to write this post I guess. It's my second time being bed-ridden in the past two months, so I've definitely gotta focus on taking care of my body this up-coming... Continue Reading →
The Yellow Factory EG6 is one of the most impressive N/A FF machines to attack the Japanese circuits. Packing an access of 250HPs and a gorgeous, albeit functional aero package, it's hard not to fall in love with it. Photos by MoMoHitsTheSpot! I've never been a huge fan of exposed carbon fiber doors or hoods,... Continue Reading →
Hey guys, thanks for stopping by to check out my Tsukuba Attack coverage! Much appreciated! But I do have to start off this post with a little unfortunate matter and that is my memory card took a fat shit the day of the event and I lost a few hundred images. These were photos from...

Tsukuba Circuit, the proving grounds for all things time attack. It's always been a dream of mine to head out there to catch one of these illustrious events and I finally had my chance this past week. I've asked a few of my friends if they wanted to tag along but it was really last... Continue Reading →
I've always loved browsing at photos from various Japanese car events throughout the year because there's usually some heavy hitters at nearly every event. Most recently, there was the Mazda Tuning Festa which was held at Tsukuba Circuit that attracted some famous rotary monsters. One of these is the infamous yellow Panspeed RX8! Photos via...
