Gallery>> Tomei & R-magic Last Minute Tests In Fuji

Was at Fuji Speedway a few days ago and as I checked out the pits late in the afternoon I noticed that there were a pair of very well known cars sitting not too far from each other. Turns out that both R-Magic and the Tomei/Cusco guys were there for some last minute testing and set-up before both cars are shipped off to Australia where next month they will participate in the Time Attack World Challenge in Eastern Creek International Raceway.

Mitsuhiro Kinoshita was out testing the all new FD3S R-Magic have put together, which on top of a more powerful engine set-up, was running a new wide-body kit with some pretty wild front & rear fenders.

Tarzan Yamada was a couple pits down finalizing a few things in the Tomei/Cusco Impreza…

…before the set-up sessions continue once the car arrives at Eastern Creek early next month.

Take a look at those wild rear fenders! The R-Magic FD has managed a 55.947 sec lap at Tsukuba the last time it participated in the Rev Speed Super Lab Battle in 2006. After that the car was retired as most of the focus was shifted towards the shop's D1 Grand Prix team with Takayama's FD3S.

This World Time Attack Challenge is gearing up to be one hell of an event! Can't wait to see how the Japanese teams will fare against the fastest cars in Australia and the US!

Hands down, the meanest RX7 I've seen and beautiful all around. RX FD lines will is timeless. The fender kinda reminds me of Porsche 935. The convave TE37 looks wayyyyyyyyyy better then any other rims fitted on it.

8

anyone from speedhunters coming down to report on the action??? i will be there and would looooooooooooovvvveee some stickers.... and to say hi!

I have a feeling that Mark Berry's Hi-Octane R34 GTR won't be able to keep the pace of the Jap time-attack cars. His car is too slippery on the corner exits - he needs to find a way to get the car to grip or he won't be in contention....

10

Daaaaaamn. That RX7 looks so damn good. And the colour on those TE37s are on key

11

Hopefully the berry gtr has AWD issues sorted in time.



I should be able to get live streaming from the WTAC, however it wont be anything spectacular, just something better than nothing.

12

Any word on the Ford Falcon that is entering?

13

This is going to be the mother of all shoot outs. North America vs. Japan vs. Australia. Wow. Skylines, FD's, and Evo's for as far as the eye can see with all the best stuff.

Pure RX7 craziness!

24

i'm not a massive fan of RX7's but this R-Magic FD is looking serious plus the Tomei/Cusco Scooby looks ready for action, but those Japanese boys won't be slacking.. watch out Australia.... oh and & USA!

25

Japan for the Win, The CYBER EVO will kill it
