MINI Curcuit Day 2008
04 Oct 2008 |Today Azusa and I went down to Mie Prefecture to attend MINI’s 4th Annual Circuit Day in Suzuka Twin Circuit. We had been to circuit days in the past, but for some reason it seemed like a lot more fun this year!
The theme of the event was undoubtedly racing with several track events to keep everybody entertained. There were three exciting skill level based races, a racing taxi event where pro drivers hauled attendees around the track at incredible speeds and a sports run where you could borrow one of MINI’s new JCW cars and take it for a lap around the track yourself. Pretty fun stuff! I wanted to do the sports run, but decided on the taxi because I really wanted to see what a pro driver could do with a MINI. Turns out that it was a great choice!
Azusa and I saw many of our old MINI club friends and even made some new ones! My favorite MINI Magazine was also on hand and they took my picture for the November issue of their magazine! I really hope my picture makes it in!
All in all, it was a great day! Have a look at some of the pictures:
