One of the highlights of last year's Japan trip was seeing the country's national motorsport live in Ebisu, Fukushima.

Definitely a spectacle worth seeing, plenty of hype, music, dancing and most of all character. The drivers and their rivalries were played up which made it all the more engaging, almost like the WWE of motosport.

The racing and aggression was 100% real however, these guys threw everything they and their cars had into the corner, often emerging from behind a curtain of tyre smoke with more bodywork hanging off than firmly attached.

It was a mission to get out to the track, even collecting a ticket from a Loppi in a Lawson was a challenge but definitely worth the effort.
