    Sorry if this has been posted before but, has anyone seen this pic before and know where it was taken? It's a very cool shot and really inspires me. Thanks.

    This was a Mt. Fuji meet/drive from the F40 Club in Japan.

    Not sure what year this is from, but I've seen this image many times before.

    There's a lot of secrecy surrounding this club.

    Looks like quite a few in the first pic added on more wing like the 2nd car in from the right. Aesthetic thing or does the F40 really suffer from not enough downforce? Or is that the LM additional wing? There really weren't that many LM spec cars though were there?

    Japan is all about car customization and personalization. They don't care what it is or what it's worth, they're going to make it their own.

    In Japan it's not always about personalization, they just race F40s.
