TAS is a novel tournament that each Eastern tuning fan will have to try to attend once or more in their lifetime. This is more straightforward stated than achieved after all, however worry no longer, we’re right here to convey everybody alongside for the wild journey this is Tokyo Auto Salon week.
Once I say ‘Tokyo Auto Salon week’, I imply it. The instance is going past the halls of Makuhari Messe as gatherings and cruises pop off in and across the town.
It’s been 3 lengthy years since I final attended TAS, so I used to be itching to partake on this yr’s shenanigans. In that point regardless that, I’ve moved a great distance clear of Tokyo, or even additional clear of the conference heart in Chiba.
So I did what someone else visiting Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon would do, and I booked a lodge with reference to the venue. I will have stuck the teach up, however road-tripping in Challenge Tough appeared like a significantly better thought. The lengthy power would additionally be the easiest excuse to get my ER34 Skyline in tip-top form forward of time.
On the other hand, lifestyles reasonably were given in the best way and the following factor I knew it used to be time to make the adventure to Tokyo. After all, I hadn’t achieved any prep paintings.
I needn’t have nervous regardless that, as a result of Challenge Tough carried out faultlessly at the power, together with being caught in site visitors for what felt like hours after a prime street used to be blocked because of an enormous development hearth.
In the end checked in at my lodge, the practical factor would were to get some leisure forward of an early-morning get started at Tokyo Auto Salon 2023. However TAS week is all about placing with buddies at meets, cruising, and after all, Speedhunting, so sleep used to be the very last thing on my thoughts.
Keep tuned for extra.
