Held at Silverstone (home of the British GP, amongst numerous other events), Japfest took place on the Sunday just gone. As the UK’s largest Japanese-only car show, there is a real array of styles to take in, with everything from competition drift cars to stance builds, circuit cars and slightly […]

Sightseeing at RWB HQ
This latest post from my previous Japan trip is breaking up the chronological order somewhat (I still need to post my photos from Tokyo Auto Salon and a visit to Liberty Walk) but I just really wanted to get these photos online.
Read MoreBack on Track in the P10
First of all, please let me apologise for the lack of blog posts recently. We suffered a pretty severe database corruption which required a good amount of head scratching to get to the bottom of. In between everything else going on at STL! nowadays we (eventually!) managed to get to […]
Read MoreThe Grand Finale: the End of Rockingham Drift Days
Having spent my Sunday last week stood watching everyone having fun on the Rockingham Meihan layout, I knew I had to get back on track ASAP. I haven’t drifted myself since STL!3 at Driftland in June (I think?), so the urge to get back into the drivers seat was the highest […]
