​🏎️200 miles, 54hp, and maximum Fun! 🇯🇵

​We took the Suzuki Alto to Takasu Circuit for an epic endurance race. The race is part of the Takasu.66 Championship. This time it was a training for the main race, the 8 hours of Takasu.

​Despite strict rules, radio issues, tricky curbs, and a late Safety Car messing up our pit strategy, we fought hard and crossed the line in 9th place overall and 2nd in class! 🏁 It was a massive challenge, but an unforgettable team experience.

Would you race 200 miles with only 54 horsepower?
What an experience! Huge thanks to for the opportunity!❤️ Would love to have the chance to push it hard someday. Need to stack more in the Swiss first. #m2csracing
Fun on wheels (*゚▽゚*)

First trip for 's brand new ND. It's nice to see him behind the wheel of a roadster again. We are still waiting for to get his ND, and then it will be complete.

Makino-san always gets us a nice pit at, so big thanks to him for his support.
Le meilleur pop-up store de la Tokyo Car Week est caché dans Tokyo mais je te dis où aller!
Chaque année le Tokyo Auto Salon se tient lors d'un weekend mi-Janvier, et beaucoup d'événements ont lieu autour, ce qu'on appelle la Tokyo Car Week. Des rassemblements et autres pop-up stores apparaissent tout autour de la ville pour en faire une semaine incroyable pour les voyageurs fans de voitures!
Et cette année, n'a pas pris de stand sur le salon mais a plutôt décidé d'ouvrir un pop-up store dans ses ateliers à l'ouest de Tokyo. J'ai pu y croiser un des français avec le plus de connaissances et d'expérience dans la culture auto japonaise,
We met with JC in Takatsuki to talk about his long relationship with racing, the different roles he has held across the industry, and why stepping from behind the page to behind the wheel became necessary.

Discover the full interview and video on February 21st.
Jean-Christophe “JC” Pepino is a French-born engineer turned editor and marketer who has spent over two decades embedded in Japan’s racing culture. Now based in Takatsuki, Osaka, he runs BAKAJON, a YouTube channel and platform tracing his own path through Japanese motorsport.

After first visiting Japan as a teenager and falling for its car culture, JC gradually built a life there — moving from technical editor at Autoworks to over a decade in marketing at Work Wheels, where he contributed to the launch of the 90s-inspired Equip 40.

In 2021, after years of documenting the scene for others, he shifted position and launched BAKAJON to test, drive, and record his own experience of Japanese tracks.

Surreal day at Suzuka Twin for Fursty’s shakedown 🤯 Had an absolute blast catching up with Mike! It’s really hard to describe how stoked I am to have his 4 rotor monster rocking the Equip 40! Dropped that baby 7 years ago (already…) and it’s been featured on some incredible builds. But this one tops them all! 🤘 Thank you Mike!❤️
