Allow me to tell a little story about how we ended up organising a big event like WNGN. It crossed everyone’s minds before to host a big event with Wangan Warriors. We’ve even made plans in the past and worked out ideas to host something bigger than our regular meets. After teaming up with the organisation of DMPD and hosting Wangan meets which were visited by hundreds of people, it was about time to start organising the biggest Japanese static car event possible. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting one of our meets you’ll probably think you have an idea what to expect but let me tell you that we’re aiming higher than your expectations!

AN AMERICAN RACING ADVENTURE
Hi everybody, all the best wishes for the new year! What you are about to read next is my guestblog for Wangan Warriors. My name is Mathieu van den Oever and I’m a former skateboarder who, due to his injuries, replaced one addiction on four wheels for another. As part of my love for cars and racing in general I picked up photography and slowly started to create some videos on the side to capture the automotive lifestyle. When I’m not behind the camera you can find me messing around with my Mazda Miata racecar or rebuilding an old GoKart which I recently purchased with my brother. Continue reading
Events: Breaking records at Syntix Speedmasters
A few weeks back the Wangan Warriors blog team went almost full force to an event called Syntix Speedmasters. It was an event I was really looking forward to for various reasons. First, it would be one of the very few events we would cover with multiple team members. Second, and most importantly, it promised to be a weekend filled with tyre smoke and roaring engines. Continue reading
Events: European Time Attack Masters
Aside from a few track days I can’t really remember when I last attended Time Attack at Zandvoort but I can tell you one thing, it felt good to be out there again. I was amazed by how many teams from abroad made their way to the Dutch track in the dunes. When Wangan Warriors was invited to become mediapartner for the European Time Attack Masters I was pretty excited and started brainstorming with the crew about how we would approach the event and how we would cover it.

Events: Nürmeet 2013 – A wonderful weekend
Just a few weeks before the DTM, Noud, one of the founders of Wangan Warriors, asked me if I wanted to come along to the SXCE Nürmeet. As a big fan of the DTM, but also Japanese cars this wasn’t an easy choice. The DTM is one of the highlights on my calendar, but I also knew the Nürmeet would be a great way to spend the weekend. After a week of being in a dilemma, I decided on the Nürmeet. I just knew I’d regret not coming along, and looking back on my decision, I’m sure I made the right choice. Continue reading
Events: DMPD, awesome on so many levels
DMPD, or DUMPd in last year’s spelling, is one of those events I really look forward to all year long. The first edition in 2012 was a huge success and when the date for 2013 edition was announced I immediately marked the day in my agenda as booked. Continue reading
Events: DMPD, amazing as always
Another event, another success. DMPD seems to make a name for itself when it comes to organising high quality automotive events. But let me rephrase automotive event in this case because the DMPD show was a lot more than just an automotive show. It’s about the people, the scene, the lifestyle and respect. After last years succes it was expected to be held again this year although the rumours were that it was a one-time only event. Luckily the organisation decided to persue with DMPD, it was predetermined to be. Continue reading
Events: DMPD pre-meet – In for a treat!
One of the biggest (and best) event in Holland mainland Europe is about to kick of. Just like last year the un-official start is the pre-meet on Friday evening. And if the DMPD pre-meet is a marker for the main event on Saturday we are in for a treat! Continue reading
Meets: Japanse Import Meeting – A sunny day out
Living in Holland has it’s downsides. One of the biggest is the weather which isn’t that good. We haven’t had a decent summer for ages and that’s exactly one of the reasons I don’t attend many meetings because usually the weather sucks! But there has been one meeting that was one my bucket list for quite a while now; The annual Japanse (Japanese) Import Meeting. Continue reading
Events: DUMPD Drift Jam!
It has been a while since I enjoyed myself as much as I did during the DUMPD Drift Jam. It couldn’t have been a better day to have some fun on a drifttrack and enjoy eachothers company. Continue reading
