It's 6:30am at Fuji Speedway and the Pit area is already bustling with activity. The sound of air tools ratcheting away in the garages echoed up and down the paddock area. While the racing teams buzzed back and forth like busy bees from their team trucks with what seemed like an unlimited supply of tires and gear. All the cars wheels and body part removal was being striped to offer easier access for safety officials to inspect these speed machines.
Every team had their own unique way of presenting their cars for the safety inspections being conducted before the race.
Besides the Pit Areas, there were things to see and do in every corner of this event. Here you can see the unveiling of the cars at the different manufactures booths. The cars were like bait to lure in the fans and entice them to buy some of the race teams memorabilia available.
The real action was taking place on the race track, which I hurried my way back down to see. What welcomed me was a barrage of cars whizzing by at deafening speeds and that was just the beginning. The excitement as well as the speeds only increased race by race as each class was faster than the earlier.
The Super GT series is definitely one that should be experienced and I can honestly say that I'm hooked! Stay tuned with VISION LAB for more coverage on future events in this series and more. Until next time, finger on the shutter trigger!
