Going to Japan is a special experience on its own. Add in RWB the crew and Nakai San as your tour guide, and it turns into a hell of a time.
Owners and friends from around the world fly in to hangout at HQ, explore the area, prep the cars, and shake them down thoroughly with late night tougé runs before road tripping to Motegi for the idlers 12 Hour Endurance race.
Here are some moments that stand out and some favorite shots.
A lot of people assume these cars aren’t really “driven,” but… speaking from first hand experience, a lot of these guys, they drive hard.

The trip wraps up with a stop by the OG HQ on the way to Tokyo: good food, sights, and…
an impromptu tattoo session with a new friend. We couldn’t speak the same language, but we all got along.
At the end of the day, it’s just a bunch of guys (and girls) who love cars and aren’t afraid to stand out.
