I will introduce Japanese motorsport scene here.January 26, 2006
●Bee-R R33 GT-R (track spec)
Well, managed to shoot this little beauty right before it was shipped to the UK to its lucky new owner by Power Vehicles.
Fully built by GT-R specialists Bee-R, it sports a fully stripped interior, roll cage and custom dash as well as full Bee-R body parts including some tasty carbon front fenders.
Uhmm, carbon...
Not often you see OMP racing seats in Japanese cars.
Stack dash unit
Standard looking engine, but GT-SS turbines lie beneath
Carbon strut bar

●Long exposures
Took these shots last month back home in Italy. Actually snowed three times as much the day after I took these.
BTW...these make good wallpapers

●Mine's BNR34 GT-R V-spec N1 base
Shot the daddy of all street based GTR demo cars a while back. This is by far my favorite GTR as I appreciate the way it is tuned and the quality of the work that is done at Mine's.
Here are some pictures.
BBS RE 18" wheels
Full dry-carbon rear wing. The adjustable part sports a gurney flap
LED GT-style lights....a real must have!
The famous Mine's Spec II engine. 600 PS and 60 kgm of bliss
Interior, again very simple, only Recaro carbon/Kevlar racing seats and a Sparco steering wheel.
A very fast rpm needle!!
Some technical shots. Notice the carbon prop-shaft and large diameter titanium exhaust.
Rear AP Racing set up and Dynamic dampers
Adjustable lower arms and AP Racing race brakes up front. Notice neatly fitted cooling ducts
And the man behind Mine's, Niikura-san

●Chiba drifting
These pictures were shot in a top secret location ;-) somewhere in the bay area...
Heavy Chaser + worn out tyres= severe blistering
...and eventually popping!
The faceless drifter....nobody knows his identity....
Notice the powdered rubber trail...concrete seems to be perfect for grating tyres!
Taken with the mighty Canon EF50 f1.4 ... keep in mind it was pitch black! A must have lens

●Comments
Due to the fact I've been getting anywhere from 200 to 400 spam e-mails/comments each day I had to remove the comments function altogether. I'm not even going to get into how much I despise people that get up to such things....
Blogging will be getting back to normal soon as I get some spare time to upload new shoots. Mine's R34 GTR N1 and TAS 2006 next.
