It's All About the Angle

Speaking of VIP style there is another trend that is specifically targeted towards VIP style cars, but on more of an edge. They are called "Oni Camber," which basically means demon angle and I wouldn't argue with that after seeing the pictures. The entire weight of the car contacts the road on no more than 2 inches and some even push it over the top by going less than that.

Slammed!

Another unique fad that Japanese car culture features is the "VIP Style." They usually feature luxury Japanese vehicles, (but can also include European cars such as BMW's and Mercedes) with large size rims that sit flush with the fenders.

Cathedral of Speed

Legendary circuit, are the only words that come to mind when you mention Tsukuba to any Japanese car enthusiast. Even thought it is small, Tsukuba circuit is considered one of the most popular race circuits in Japan, located in the metropolitan city called Shimotsuma. Its also know to be as the birthplace of time attack races.

Events are held every week with accommodations to hold over 10,000 spectators. Drivers and fans alike will not be disappointed when they get there, because the track features a variety of hair pin and wide sweeping turns to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
