Alongside ''Best Motoring'' were ''Hot Version'' and ''Video Special.'' ==History== With the first edition debuting in 1987 and the last in 2011, the videos were marked by non traditional races and challenges such as Tōge battles, in which one car tries to outrun another on a twisty mountain pass. The drivers were the premier racers of the various Japanese racing series, including JGTC (now Super GT), the D1 Grand Prix, and Formula Nippon. Some of the regular hosts/drivers included the "Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya, Manabu Orido, Juichi Wakisaka, Akihiko Nakaya, and Naoki Hattori. ''Best Motoring, Hot Version'' and ''Video Special'' were all produced by Kodansha/2&4 Motoring. The Japanese version of ''Best Motoring'' was a monthly video series covering mainly non-tuned factory cars, whereas ''Hot Version'' (ホットバージョン) was the bi-monthly video series testing mainly tuned cars. ''Video Special'' was yet another video series that was released irregularly and usually focused on a particular car model. The final installments are Best Motoring of April 2011's. However, Hot Version would make its return shortly after being cancelled, due to popular demand. Best Motoring's revival (now called Best Motor TV) now only airs 2-3 installments per year with their first new issue airing in Japan on December 2011. Other spinoffs series included quarter-yearly ''Racing History'', released in 2005, was dedicated to the historical aspect of Japanese motorsport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Best Motoring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
