Holy crap! That's at Ebisu Circuit too! My friends and I were there not more than two months ago for Round 6 of the D1 GP. I gotta find out when they got stuff like this going on. This has to be the sickest display of vehicular control I have ever seen!
I just have to ask this question, even though this is the wrong forum for it... obviously there are some incredibly talented Japanese drivers, and some incredibly great Japanese cars -- why are there no Japanese WRC drivers of note (or F1, or Monac0, or even NASCAR)? With this kind of skill used just in an exhibition, imagine what they could do on a real track! Rally has always been a European pursuit, which is why they dominate the population of drivers, but with so many Japanese-built cars making their mark (hell, Subaru put WRC on the map, period!) why doesn't anyone field a car straight from Japan?
