Mobara Circuit


After the excitement and hatred of Auto Salon it was off to Mobara Circuit in Chiba for a SR drift day, which meant mostly Silvias but a few other cars too

A 180SX 'Missile' drift car, I wonder is this the same 1 from the last time I was here?

T&E's S14 Silvia, the day before this had been on T&E's stand at AutoSalon. Not long before I took this picture Mr Ueno himself was asleep in the car, not allowing himself a day off after the madness leading up to Autosalon where he was a busy man

Japan boasts plenty of girl drifters and some of them are really good and would put many others to shame

This 1 was very aggressive in her C33 Laurel

but with a slightly unaggressive interior and helmet, are girls allowed gearknobs like that....

Too fast into the first bend and you get stung....

and off into the gravel

and then hide in shame behind the dust cloud

I love Japan

If you managed to move on from the previous pic there were a few non Nissans there too like this SR equipped Mazda RX-7

On the apex of the 1st corner

Then later a few reverse runs around the track

Including G-Corporations amazing 180SX
