Between roughly 2006 and 2008 (as far as I can recall) there was a video uploaded to YouTube called “Wangan Style Racing”, with “Blue Blazes” by Yuzo Koshiro overlaid onto a bunch of then relatively obscure (on the internet at least) Japanese clips from 1991’s Wangan Midnight and numerous OPTION Smokey Nagata/RE Amemiya DVD’s.
This “Wangan Style Racing” video had garnered well over 300,000 views at the time of its deletion, which was quite a milestone for an automotive related video back in that period. I’m not sure why it was deleted, or who had made it, but I remember watching it many a time at the age of 17, dreaming of the day I’d one day own my own GT-R.
I’ve done my best - via memory alone - to recall how the video was made, how it was laid out, and how the clips were timed. Hopefully this brings back memories to those who watched it, and creates new ones for current fans of the Japanese Performance Car era.
