Britcar are running their 24hr endurance GT race again this year:

http://www.britcar24hr.co.uk/cms/24hr.php

I know it's not strictly speaking a club event but there are loads of jap motors enter this endurance race, and I go every year to support Rogue Motorsport. There will be MR2s, Celicas, Integras, Civics, etc. Some very special motors like the Moslers and the F430GT, as well as some wildcard entries like Tiff Nedell's old BTCC car and an Escort Cosworth entered last year!

They currently have an offer on for tickets, 2 weekend tickets for £30. See http://www.britcar24hr.co.uk/2for30/

Also PistonHeads have arranged some camping deals for those who are further away:

If you're into motorsport (or think you might be) this is a great place to start. All the teams are really friendly, I've even sat in the cars during the pit walk before.

See the thread from last year for more info and pictures etc: http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/sho...php?t=5455

Bump... Rogue have picked up sponsorship from Toyota, Microsoft/Xbox UK etc. Toyota gave them a supercharger for the 3.5L 2GR-FE engine to bump it up to around 400bhp in race trim, and the car is fully decked out in Forza 4 livery with Microsoft having playable demos of Forza 4 in the paddock.

Official press release from Toyota is here: http://www.toyotagb-press.co.uk/protecte...437toy.htm

The car looks mega all kitted out:
