Thanks guys. I'm glad you are enjoying the pics :smile:
Excellent pictures. Thank you for those. Looks like you had quite an excellent time!
How did the gt series nsx sound in person?
Loud. All the cars sound ridiculous, and oftentimes unlike you'd expect. They are so heavily modified that they're far from the original production car. A good example is a Prius won the GT300 class! I'll post up a video of some of the cars rounding the track so you can hear some sounds.
Thanks for sharing Colin. So jealous.
Thanks MrHugo, but my name is Mike :wink:
Colin is my travel buddy and fellow prime member.
Man the race tracks over there are so much better by the way they are built around the property and the lay out of the facility....If you went to Twin Ring, you might get my point.
Ya, I feel that way about a lot of things in Japan. They're excellent at refining most everything and their culture is all about uniformity. It really shows throughout the country.
Awesome pics!!! So jelly !!!
How'd the NSXs do???
The top 6 cars were the RC-F and NSX platforms. An NSX came in 2nd for round 1, but they seemed to be lapping at 1-2 seconds faster than the RC-Fs. Most info
here for anyone interested.
I have been following you guys on instagram. Amazing pictures. Living a dream
Thanks! Nice to hear from you. Hope things are well.
So Mugen has a hardtop available for the S660?
Seems that way. It looks awesome, like a baby NSX. I hope we get it in the US.
Here's a shot of the Modulo S660 next door.

A few more pictures and video I pulled off my phone. These are from our stay in Okayama for the Super GT race.
We used airbnb for lodging throughout our trip. The first stop was a nice guesthouse in the countryside among rice fields. We only stayed for 2 nights, but it was the best possible way to start the trip.
Riding with our hosts. They were kind enough to drive 30 minutes to pick us up from the train station. It's a small town, so transportation wasn't easy to come by.
Sleeping quarters. Some of the best sleep of my life.
View from our window. Very hilly, green, and wet.
Lulled to sleep by this sound every evening.
