Hi Everyone,

Back in January 2011 Team Japspeed were given the opportunity to perform at Europe's biggest motorsport expo, Autosport International. Attracting over 75,000 visitors and 400 exhibitors!


This was a seriously exciting display for Japspeed, who faultlessly drifted to an all-new crowd with some of the wildest stunts the UK has ever seen.
With the 2012 Autosport show on this weekend we have spent the last few days practising a show which will be taking place in the live action arena! Japspeed are hugely excited to be asked once again back into the Live Action Arena at Birmingham's NEC.
Fresh from our recent Top Gear Live performance, the whole team have mastered the slippery indoor surface thanks to the Maxxis MA-Z1 Drift tyres allowing them to twin drift just inches apart at speeds of over 60mph.



Drifting is still a very new sport in the UK, and a show like Autosport combines every motorsport in the world from F1 to drag racing and stock cars. For us to be invited back to such an event is a huge honour - we are constantly pushing professional drifting as a serious sport and clearly you guys are loving our displays!
In 2011 our Drivers successfully performed our reverse figure-of-eight trick inspired by the Japanese 'Team Orange' drift display. This involves two cars drifting simultaneously in opposite figure-of-eights with them passing one another just moments apart in the middle of the display. One wrong foot and it can spiel disaster!


This year however we’ve got something else up our sleeves, but we are keeping it a surprise until the show!!! So make sure you come check us out!!!

We have also been back in the workshop making more changes to the cars for 2012 and are launching the new 2012 cars to you all at the show! Make sure you check out the changes to our Japspeed Subaru which will be exhibited on the Maxxis stand!!!


We look forward to seeing you there!
