GOZIGEN-USA2009-10-27

Hi everyone!
I like to share a cool video footage I found in You Tube.
A race fan in Japan, "takgrd"-san uploaded his or her video captured the pit-stop of 5ZIGEN NSX at Super Taikyu Round 5, Fuji Speedway. The round 5 was the first winning race for the 5ZIGEN NSX. We thank "takgrd" for taping our team in such heavy rain condition and uploading such clear video image.
Let me show everyone how Super taikyu race teams do their routine pit-work with using this video.
