Best Motoring battles are usually shot behind closed doors just like any TV show not to give away the results. But this event also gave an opportunity for the video cast to get close with the fans. After the battle, a talk show took place in the paddock with the professional drivers on site. Big names such as Yuji Ide, Manabu Orido and NOB "No One Better" Taniguchi made appearances in front of the fans too. Show goers were able to ask about driving and tuning tips from their idols.
Everyone, including myself, enjoyed the day just being around the old S600s, the tuned S2000s, the DC5s, and the new Civic Type-Rs. I hear they are planning another event for 2009 and maybe even one in the US. I was glad to see there are still many people like us who love cars... who "heart" cars.
