A high speed ride through Japanese car culture
Role : Director , Production, Editing, Colour, Camera car
Marc Márquez races through the history of Japanese motoring on his way up the scenic Hakone Turnpike. In the ascent, he comes across typical vehicles, such us the classic Hakosuka or an impressive Dekotora. The Hakone Turnpike is a popular pass road about 90 minutes south of Tokyo otherwise known as Japan’s Nürburgring with many films of the iconic Japanese drifter culture produced there.
Marc Márquez has prepared for his attempt at a fifth MotoGP World Championship title on Sunday with a trip along Japan’s famous Hakone Turnpike on a Honda RC213V.
Ahead of his title tilt at the Motegi track, the 25-year-old Márquez was given the chance to take a Honda RC213V road bike along the famous Hakone Turnpike, which runs along the side of the Mount Hakone volcano.
Márquez did not get a free ride, though, as the Repsol Honda rider encountered Japanese vehicles from various eras such as a soba bike, traditional Japanese trucks, street bikes from the 1980s/1990s and a drift car.
