We spotted this shot of a really angry looking Mitsubishi EVO in action at Tsukuba. Not sure where this picture is from, it may have been SpeedHunters, perhaps it was from the Bar section of Edition 38′s forums. Anyway, it’s been sat on the desktop of a computer at G-werks HQ and, after watching a lot of Best Motoring vids on YouTube, the photograph has inspired us to find out a little bit more about the famous Japanese race track.

So in a nutshell, the circuit was a established back in 1966, but didn’t actually get built until 1970. The idea being that the track would attract young people into motor racing. Now events are held at Tsukuba every week and the track has appeared in loads of video games like the Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport series, plus it’s a regular feature in Time Attack events and, as we’ve mentioned before, the Best Motoring battles.

Here’s some old footage of a very fast lap that legendary Honda tuners, TopFuel, managed to achieve in their 483BHP turbocharged FWD EK9 Civic.

Damn, that’s quick!

With the help of a Benny Hill soundtrack this little Scion does a pretty good job of evading the Police.
Crazy $hit! Only in America, though!
