Japfest,
Another great event organized by 402 automotive on May 8th 2016.
‘JapFest’ among car events needs no introduction, as it is one of the greatest event dedicated to all Japanese cars.

The Club paddock was filled with cars from several Dutch teams, including cars from neighbor countries like Belgium & Germany.
The public got the opportunity to admire what’s riding around on European highways.

Main sponsor of the show & shine contest needs no introduction.
‘Meguiars’Â Show & shine competitors could registered for several classes, like best of show top 3, best of interior, best of exterior, best of audio, best engine and best of wheels.
Judges had to make some tough decision this time to select the winners.

During the Show block Drift & Stunts the start area of Zandvoort circuit was used as a drift parkour. The public was stunned by some amazing drift stunt by Dennis van loon and his team.
At the moment that the cars needed a tire change, bikes drifted the track to keep the show ongoing.
If you think you have seen it all, 402 organized a car limbo, yes a car limbo.
How low can you go to win? Don’t have air ride? No problem just let some people from the public into your car.

This year newest event, the BURNOUT, is starting to get more and more attention. This is where competitors have 3 min to perform a burnout till all the rubbers are laying on the track.
We saw several cars and bike performing their burn out, leaving a lot of rubbers behind. The public also got the opportunity to see the drifter skyline perform a major burn out.

This was another great event by 402 automotive.

Till next time,
