In the scorching heat of Texas, the GTR Festival at the Texas Motorplex is a petrolhead's paradise, boasting a spectacular lineup of events from car shows to drag racing. This gathering is a rare sight for American enthusiasts, with a jaw-dropping display of GTRs, making it the largest Skyline GTR meet in US history. Among the roaring engines and smoking tires, the festival showcases the drag racing prowess of Andrew Hawkins and Billy's GTR, setting the track on fire with their lightning-fast passes.
Enter the stage-stealing Australian racer, Rob, with his R32 GTR, ready to conquer American soil with his high-powered machine. The festival isn't just about speed; it's also a place of marvels, featuring a one-of-a-kind Toyota Turell with a whopping 500 horsepower and a bumper exit exhaust, turning heads and raising eyebrows. And let's not forget the unexpected guest—a kangaroo making a special appearance, adding a touch of Aussie charm to the Texan event.
As the sun beats down on the festival grounds, the air is filled with the revving of engines and the smell of burnt rubber. Restored R34s gleam under the Texas sky, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Among the crowd, a rare Huka GTR stands proudly, a testament to automotive history and heritage. And in a surprising twist, a 1970 first-generation Skyline, freshly imported from Japan, makes a grand appearance, capturing the hearts of Skyline enthusiasts with its vintage charm and authenticity.
