It truly does simply seem like the other day that we were setting the tone for a huge year of Speedhunting in 2020.
As constantly, expectations were high and we were beginning the year the proper way, with Speedhunters’ Japan Month focused around the 2020 Tokyo Car Beauty salon and supported by a great deal more stories from the JDM motherland.
Despite how the year ended up, January 2020 was fantastic on the Speedhunting front, and I understand that a great deal of us have actually been eagerly anticipating doing it all over once again this month. However then COVID limitations declared the 2021 Tokyo Car Beauty Parlor too.
However even if TAS 2021 has actually been cancelled does not indicate we can’t get our now yearly Japan Month repair. And not just will we be bringing you a lot of fresh functions from Japan throughout the month, there will be Tokyo Car Beauty salon protection …
… from 2001.
Yes, it’s been twenty years given that I initially checked out the Makuhari Messe (and Japan), and while I prepared to be back in Tokyo to commemorate the reality this year, that simply could not occur.
The next finest thing is a retrospective function on TAS 2001, and I believe you’ll be shocked at just how much– and how little– has actually altered in the 2 years given that.
I’ll keep this quick as I not just have a great deal of images to arrange through, however there’s a brand-new addition to the SH Garage for 2021 that you require to see right now. It has a great Japanese connection too … Here’s a teaser.
From everyone here at Speedhunters, thanks for sticking to us in 2020, and here’s to an excellent year of Speedhunting ahead in 2021. Delighted New Year!
