Best Motoring To Release DVD Featuring Review of R35 GT-R
While we still patiently wait for the Tsukuba battle Best Motoring DVD they have announced that first they are releasing a review DVD. Reviewed by none other than Motoharu “Gan-san” Kurosawa, famous for his motorsports career and past work with Best Motoring including their 1989 R32 GT-R Review. The review is to take street, and circuit driving into account and to also show a time attack around Sendai Raceway.
The DVD should be available early 2008. In time for TAS 2008 I suppose.
