Hachiroku – A fast one!Hachiroku – A fast one!

The average Toyota Corolla AE86 is about 25 years old and has seen a million kilometers on the road. After this time it should be time for retirement, unfortunatly things didn’t work out so well for this example. Andreas Lanz considered this to be the perfect car for one purpose – beeing fast uphill!

MOVIE MONDAY: AE86 Race @ Fuji SpeedwayMOVIE MONDAY: AE86 Race @ Fuji Speedway

Until today the AE86 is a very competitive car. Back in the days, when the car was in its best times, it was a well respected oponent in Gr. A, Gr. N2 Series. That’s a reason why we do a little Hachiroku week and rendering homage to this youngtimer. Now, no more words – watch this and enjoy the past!

Photography Friday – Volume 1Photography Friday – Volume 1

Allow me to introduce one of the weekly categories you’re gonna see on Speed Industries, the Photography Friday. These will be posts by our photography team, posting pictures from past or present, which represent memories of events with the team.

For the first installment I thought I’d go back to the very beginnings of at least my team Speed Industries career and post some pics from the very first drift event I’ve been to, an IDS round back in may 2009 at the Nurburgring Fahrsicherheitszentrum. Looking back, it seems like ages ago, although the date doesn’t actually seem that long gone – guess drifting slows down time 🙂Allow me to introduce one of the weekly categories you’re gonna see on Speed Industries, the Photography Friday.
