Hello folks!  This is motor-sports history and this car was driven by the Godfather of Japan, that clawed his way to the top as a grassroots racer and became Formula 3 Champ!!! Here is a few words about this individual.

Keiichi Tsuchiya (土屋 圭市 Tsuchiya Keiichi?, born January 30, 1956, in Tōmi, Nagano (Tobu, Chiisagata-gun), Japan) is a professional race car driver. He is also known as the "Drift King" (or Dorikin (ドリキン)) for his nontraditional use of drifting in non-drifting racing events and his role in popularizing drifting as a motorsport. He is also known for touge (mountain pass) driving.

The car he drives, a Toyota AE86 , has become one of the most popular sports cars; the car is also known as "Hachi-Roku" in Japan (hachi-roku meaning "eight six"); his car is also called "The Little Hachi that could." A video known as Pluspy documents Tsuchiya's touge driving with his AE86. He also is a consultant for one of the popular comic books and manga, "Initial D". "Takumi" is a character which describes him.

Amazing history to a amazing car!  AE86, A Living Legend!
