ith the way that trends have been heading in recent
years, we Kiwis are clearly super keen on the all-
rounder car that can be used to get amongst multiple
disciplines at events to make the most of our entry.

catering to what we seek, Japan remains a bit more segmented, with
the drifters doing their own thing, show cars staying close, and the
circuit racers staying clear of both.
