Every autumn since 1997 Nissan has been throwing its loyal petrolheads a party called the Nismo Festival.
Located two hours from Tokyo, over 35,000 stomped Fuji Speedway’s pavement at last year’s event, and yesterday’s gathering is estimated to have matched that number.
What attracts pilgrims from far and wide is hallowed race machinery Nissan Motorsport both have on display and hustle around the 4.563km circuit.
Activities and the circuit are not restricted to works vehicles either. Club-racers with classic and contemporary Nissans were given the chance to trade paint in one of three single-make races throughout the day.
The day culminated with the Nismo GP, a ‘friendly’ race that sees various factory Nismo vehicles, driven by Super GT celebrities like Ronnie Quintarelli and Micheal Krumm this year, fight to prove who’s quickest in their category.
But the great thing is it’s entertaining for everyone, not only for Nissan tragics. And despite an iPhone’s shonky quality, the tasty collection of photo morsels below prove the Nismo festival is not one to miss.
