One of the coolest things about being a car guy/girl is that it’s a universal passion, especially in today’s internet age. I can sit at my computer here in North Carolina and look at cool pictures of a car meet in Japan or watch some guys burn up the Autobahn or observe some Scandinavians emerge from their crazy long winter at the Gatebil festival. Having a passion for cool cars can transcend locations, cultures and even languages. I can’t tell you how many Japanese car videos I’ve thoroughly enjoyed even though I have zero clue as to what anybody said the entire time. That’s why this video brought a smile to my face. It’s some highlights from this year’s Japanese Rally Championship Association season. I’ve always wondered if there was a big rally scene in the country that has brought us some of the world’s most legendary turbocharged AWD rally cars. You may not understand the pace notes, but rally is rally even in Japan. It’s easy to tell when the drivers are pushing hard, they get disappointed when they crash and they get really excited when they finish with good times. You can get a grasp of their passion for the sport just by watching a few clips of in-car footage.
