Quick Vid: Nakai-san of RWB

Luke Huxham brings us another gem in affiliation with Fatlace, interviewing RWB founder Akira Nakai.


Fatlace TV x RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF : Nakai-San from Luke Huxham on Vimeo.

What speaks most to me about this piece is regardless of how blinder-laden your vision is, its important to just do what you love. This isn't always easy to accomplish when keeping the lights on involves other people buying into your vision. When done right, however, the people that buy in will find themselves saying 'where has this (thing) been all my life'. There's also that innately human bit about evolving ideals; I believe we all manage this battle on a daily basis. Keep at it Nakai-san, but please don't dilute the brand through expansion.

Bonk of the Year!

We aren't the first to report on this wreck, but thanks to our friends at Jalopnik, we can give you some decent coverage.

Moral of the story: wrecks are bad news.

Motorsport Pron: Rennsport Reunion Celebration

For those who missed it, the Rennsport Reunion television special on SPEED was quite entertaining. They interviewed drivers, past and present, did short recaps of the multiple short races held between models from the same decade and got pretty up close and personal with the cars. The production put into these promotional shorts by Porsche, however, are quite a bit more pron worthy, which is why it gets the post title above.
