I thought I would share some more pictures of the D1GP demo run that was held outside at the Tokyo Auto Salon. This was one of the last times you could Ueno’s Soarer in action. Nomuken also showed his ‘new’ Skyline with a redesigned bodykit and livery. Kumakubo also showed what his EVO X was capable off and ofcourse the D1SL RX7 driven Suenega
At TAS 2009 Yoshiaka showed his ‘new’ Lexus SC50. It has some small modifications like the frontsplitter and new wheel design but I do not think that will be used competitively
The debut of the new 2009 D1GP BMW made by T&E owned by Ueno. In 2008 Ueno announced he would retire his trusty Soarer and will retunr in 2009 with this brand new BMW E92. No further details on power and or wheel size, will update asap.

One of the few Soarers (JZZ30) that compete in the D1GP, this particular example belongs to Ryoji Jinushi-san. It features a bright green paintjob and a BN Sports bodykit with a massive Koguchi power GT spoiler.
BN sports front bumper and hood, to get wider wheels upfront, they used T&E front fenders
Work Meister S1 wheels 9.5×18 in front and 11.5×18 in the back, the brakes come from the Supra with slotted AP racing rotors
The doors are made of FRP and the windows have been replaced by acrylic ones.
A better shot of the massive spoiler,
Thanks to Piers for the pictures 🙂
Takahiro Ueno is famous for his Soarer that he drives in the D1GP. His company T&E produces bodykits under the name Vertex. Within Vertex their are different body desgins. The most aggresive is the Vertex Ridge line and the most subtle is the Vertex Lang. Euno even produces bodykits for high end cars like Ferrari and BMW with his Vertice Desing department.
And offcourse their is Sui:Vax that does all the tuning on the cars. So you see within the T&E brand their are several other brands that provide the people with everything they need.
More on T&E later, first I will show you this famous Soarer
