About the MR2 Racing Blog

This Blog is dedicated to the two Jap Import UK sponsored Toyota MR2s of David and Richard Weaving. They were imported from Tokyo, Japan, and pushed up to race spec with the aid of Paul Howard and Staff at Jap Imports UK at the biggining of the summer 2007. From then on they have raced at Powernights on Motors TV and competed in the last 2 races of the Toyota MR2 Challenge, organised with the help of the 750mc and BRCC.

On this site you will be able to view links to Jap Imports UK, Powernights and the MR2 Challenge, read race reports and results, see pictures, car modifications and specifications, and information and advice on how to get racing yourself.
