"A MUST HAVE for all racing fans!
The PERFECT GIFT for that special motorsports fan in your life!
Best Motoring International (BMI) is a great series and, as an automotive enthusiast, I've never seen an episode I didn't love (and I've seen almost all of them)! But Fuji Fast stands out as one of the best episodes so far.
In this episode, the BMI drivers say farewell to Fuji Speedway as it closes down for 2 years for renovation and remodeling. They share their fond memories and thoughts on one of Japan's most famous race tracks, including reminiscing from some of the track's record holders. Fuji Speedway's rich history is explored fully with several vintage clips of it's greatest moments over the last few decades. Racing nuts will truly love it! And, of course, the BMI gang says a final "farewell" to Fuji in their own special way: with an INTENSE 4 lap battle! The drivers learn first hand why Fuji is called "Japan's fastest track!" You can't go wrong with a race between a group of sports cars totalling nearly $500,000.00 in the hand's of drivers who don't care about wrecking them!
Then, it's off to the touge (pronounced toe-gay) for some racing and drifting INITIAL-D STYLE in the mountains of Japan with some very fast, tuned Nissan Silvias (240SX), a high-boost, tuned FD Mazda RX-7 and a powerful, highly tuned, exotic NSX!
Finally, another installment of the truly inspirational saga of "Drift King" Tsuchiya's battle in the JGTC racing series (Japan's NASCAR). Team ARTA suffers a difficult loss and must pick up the pieces and try again at the next race as they struggle with car problems (as is often the case in racing).
