This is my first GT300 car video. It caught my attention for the following reasons.
1. Uses a virtual character for main logo.
The character printed on the side is "Miku Hatsune",
a name of a female character originated from a "singing synthesizer software". This software can create a virtual vocal that can be added to a music, in a way you want it to sing. This character has become quite popular in Japan in the last several years, now probably more than the original software. Check out how it sings by searching its name on RU-vid!
2. Gathers racing fund from individual fans.
For this team, not only companies, but also individual fans can become a sponsor. The sponsorship ranges between 3,000yen to 300,000yen (35 to 3,600USD), and sponsors will benefit a chance to visit the team pit during a race, have his name on the car, get a special team sticker, and so on.
3. The Drivers.
Among the two drivers, one is Nob Taniguchi. He was a driver of RE Amemiya RX-7 in the previous season, but due to the retirement of RX-7 (there was a chassis durability problem), he is driving this car in 2011. Taniguchi is not only a top drifter, but also a top racer in GT300.
