Even though I love high performance driving, I don’t actually watch much racing. I once went to a NASCAR race, but I’ve never watched one on a screen. I’ve never seen an F1 race in any form. Part of that reason is that they aren’t driving the kind of car I drive. If I am going to watch racing, I want to be able to relate to it. The cars I best relate to are budget endurance racing cars, so basically sporty or non-sporty cars from the 1990s, and 2000s. The best source for track-driven street cars from those eras that I’ve seen is Best MOTORing. These were a series of videos released every month in Japan. My favorite episodes are multi-car track battles at Tsukuba or Ebisu. Here’s a selection of some of my favorites. Turn on Closed Captioning to read in English.
