Hi All,
For those of you who don‘t know about it, The Nippon Challenge is an exciting new race series and it has recently come to a close for 2009. It will be back in 2010 and we are trying to stir up some more interest.
It includes lots of close racing door to door on every corner and is a great bunch of people who take part. Why not come along and check out a couple of rounds next year. Or even better, form a team and take part. All of the race dates are over on www.nipponchallenge.co.uk
It is primarily aimed at people like us that have nice cars and a passion for driving. Anyway rather than me type what its about, why not hear it from the quite loverly Lucia Coward. Here she introduces the final round at Brands Hatch:

Below are two links for Race One, this coverage mainly follows Tim Clarke who runs in the GT500 class in his Mitsubishi Evo and Kris Dunlop in his Honda Civic. Both drivers are unfortunately involved in incidents during the race.

Race two is mainly focused on the Irish team, Tuning Factory. Who only entered a couple of rounds but enjoyed them selves so much they are taking part in the whole season for 2010. They are running in the yellow Honda Integra DC2, The car is running much less power than most of the other cars around them but with Barry Rabbitt behind the wheel, after a disastrous start. He manages to claw his way back.

Racing summary to follow.
Please forward the links around if you like them, we are currently trying to get funding for the series so the more views we get the better the chance of getting a title sponsor.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Oh, nearly forgot, thoughts and feedback on the videos would also be greatly appreciated, good or bad, so long as they are constructive.
Thanks
Dave
