Subaru BRZ Amazing Autocross
Photos: https://www.facebook.com/JDM.clips
With no doubt, Yamano is one of the top drivers in Japan. He's won 3 championships in Super GT - 3 years in a row, in 3 different teams, driving 3 different cars (M-TEC NSX, MR-S, RE Amemiya RX-7). And not only in Super GT, he's also become 14 times champion in national autocross series driving various cars (CR-X, Civic, S2000, NSX, Lotus Exige). Currently acting as a Subaru driver, Yamano races in BRZ GT300 race car in 2012 Super GT, and also drives a BRZ in All Japan Gymkhana series.
The stunning pink colored BRZ in this video is the actual car he drives in the autocross. Despite the fact it's merely the first year of competition for BRZ, it's already won some rounds. The machine doesn't have much mods though because of the regulation of the series - suspension, differentials, tires & wheels, and very few safety equipments. So basicially this BRZ is quite in stock condition - meaning that what you see there, is what the driver is doing. Applause to the amazing driver Yamano, and BRZ with great potential!

Yes, it's a hybrid. It uses the stock hybrid system of Toyota Prius, combined with a bigger battery of Prius Alpha (mini-van version of Prius). But all other spec is just crazy... it has a RV8K Formula-Nippon(Japan) engine, mounted somewhere around the rear seat, making this car a MR layout. Toyota Prius fights in the GT300 class in 2012 Super GT.

Le Mans 2012 - Nissan Deltawing debuts at Le Mans
Nissan has released a video of the test at Le Mans. This will be the only chance for entrants to this year's Le Mans 24 Hours to set their cars up for the big race on June 16/17.
For Nissan, the test represented the Company's biggest commitment to the famous French endurance race to date. Nissan will power a quarter of the entire Le Mans 24 Hours field this year, with particular dominance in the LMP2 class, in which 13 out of 20 cars will use Nissan engines. The star of the show was the radical Nissan DeltaWing which aims to complete the legendary endurance race using half the fuel and half the number of tyres of its fellow Le Mans entrants. All of Nissan's key cars performed admirably, with a top 20 place for 2011 LMP2 champion team, Greaves Motorsport, and a trouble-free day of running for the experimental Nissan DeltaWing.
