My friend and I did our presentation on Racers and Drifters in Japan. The C1 loop is a stretch of freeway in Tokyo that hits the main areas of Tokyo quickly and easily. This stretch which is featured in many racing games and has become famous among people known as the Roulette-zoku. (ルーレット族) Roulette referring to the loop of the freeway itself and Zoku, a word for clan for family. Roulette Zoku is anyone that races on the C1 loop in Tokyo. We talked about the History, Culture, and how racing and drifting grew in popularity over the past years.
After Japanese we had Ethics.
After Ethics Mason, Yu, and I headed to Ginza to see the GTR display they had set up. In the smaller showroom near the station they had a Silver and Red GTR that you could get in and checkout. They had a video with interviews of the people who worked on the car and footage of it doing laps at Nurburing. Through talking to the staff we found out that currently Nissan is only producing 200 GTR's a month and has already taken over 2000 orders. Should start seeing them on the road middle of next month.
From the small show room we headed to the larger on a few blocks away where they have one GTR in every color and we were able to sit and check out all of them. The seats are really good.
Headed back to School, had accounting, and headed home.
