It’s been awhile since we’ve seen anything from Depth of Speed, but it looks like Josh is back at it and gearing up his second season. In his latest video Josh visits JDM Legends yet again to spend some track time with their old school GT-R. It isn’t anything crazy but if you’re a fan of old Japanese cars, the sound alone is simply intoxicating!

Okay so it isn’t really a Mario Kart but it’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see a grown man in this chibi electric cart. Strangely it even sounds like the carts from the game, now all we need are some power ups!

VIP tuning culture originated from Japan and has slowly made its way to North America. While not nearly as popular as the JDM craze, it definitely has its fans.

Easier Said Than Done (ESTD) is a film I discovered some time ago on Kickstarter (A group funding site). ESTD is a film about rally racing, but it isn’t just that simple. Rally racing is a unique fast pace sport in which drivers must race based on a point-to-point format. We often don’t get to see the driver and the teams because so much emphasis is usually placed on either the modified cars or the race tracks. Matt Johnston the producer of ESTD wants to change that; in his film he tells the story of both amateur racers and professionals racers as they compete. The trailer looks awesome and I’m happy to see that Matt exceeded his funding goal!
