Team Evangelion Racing has made its racing debut at the 3rd round of the Super GT, formerly known as the All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (Japan GT), held at the Fuji Speedway Circuit recently.
Fielding a Toyota Corolla Axio, the team entered under the GT300 category of this prestigious racing series. The team will make its second appearance in June at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
The team went on to finish 9th in the race proper.
Super GT has long been a favourite means of promoting anime based products. Good Smile Company also has a racing team in the series, the Good Smile Racing Team, running a Hatsune Miku livery.
Their first entry was with a BMW Z4, but due to less than satisfactory results, they changed to the Porsche 996 GT3-RSR, and will change to the more powerful Porsche 997 GT3-R at round 7 of the series.
Another team which has anime roots is the Mach Go team, based upon the Mach Go Go Go anime series (Speed Racer in the USA).
Running the Vemac RD320R, the car is painted in homage to the original Mach 5 car of the famous racing anime series.
Just when a K-ON! car will seize poll position remains to be seen.

I think I'm in love. I just came, twice.
nice car (and racing queens). but I still prefer Miku's one.
lol. the eva team is actually pretty cool, unexpectedly. Seems very natural at the very least if they don't include the anime pictures.
that car is very smexy ^^
Just by looking at the side mirror when racing:
"Oh shi....."
*devoured*
This is gonna be one hell of a race, I support team EVA. >:3
they will win all races from now on, because after giving a glance at the rear view mirror and see the team eva car approaching they will notice the hype
color pattern before going blind and crashing either on the contention walls
or the public itself.
.. yes the kid in the front row will die too.
They can only win if they have an S2 engine, otherwise they are limited to 5 minutes of driving time.
The Corolla's rubbish, the livery's awful. Look for better itasha please.
Yeah, but this isn't your driving instructor's corolla...
I'd love to own that corolla...
prefer team Miku :p
Nice!
also great looking girls so kudos to whoever brought it to fruition
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!!
That's awesome! Finally a promotion I like. Not only is the car pretty to look at, they went for the full tie in with the pilot "plugsuits" and the pretty race queens with appropriate costumes.
That is a full win.
Minor glitch: POLE position. Unless "poll" position was written that way for a reason...?
THIS! It is perfect! This is an appropriate expenditure of otaku energy.
I wonder how it would be like if Team EVA showed up at NASCAR :3
I said they ugly! Can't yall hear!
I'm betting that the engine is an S2 engine that came from eating up Zeruel earlier.
and no otaku had been reported flooding the track to get pictures? preferably ON the track that is
There hasn't been a Team iM@s yet, or a Team K-On, so it's unlikely...
ToyoBaru:D
I dunno about everyone else, but I thought the car and outfits looked awesome. It doesn't have to be exact, which is what the fuss is all about.
I'm interested to see how the car does. Looks pretty sick.
do cars transform into giant robots ?
No, you need transformers cars for that. Or valkyries.
Heh! I love Ring XD
The Rei Race Queen looks so hot. I'd do her anytime. ;)
I want this one to compete against the mikumiku car :)
The girls should have some sexy boots instead of those slut shoes.
They need to get those plugsuits right. Its not supposed to show that much skin, but instead the figure.
Now with as many variations fans have made on plug suits, your really going to complain about accuracy DFC? C'mon now....
Atleast he isn't complaining that their bust is too big this time.
Look on the bright side.
No, the cameraman needs to get that angle right.
Get closer to the stage dammit!
i applaud them for making there outfits as close as possible, especially there models.
Eva wins again
They win when those models are covered and soaked in LCL.
The Rei cosplay is sexy. But the Asuka cosplay burns my eyes...
Women: Best used as a car accessory.
Just drive this to do your shopping at the Eva store!
She's good enough.
WHERE'S GUNDAM RACING CARS!
good outfits but they just aren't as potent as full plugsuits...
That Asuka was not a very good choice...
It's only a matter of time before that Eva-Car goes berserk and starts eating the other cars.... and then... 3rd impact.
Gundam racing cars? Screw the cars, give us the ladies of Gundam instead.
They win when those models are nekkid and soaked in LCL.
Fix'd
Yeah, i just now noticed that their racing jumpsuits look like shinji's plug suit. I thought that was pretty cool.
That Rei sure is cute. Wrong hair color, though.
The hair colour isnt important.
Only when she's paipan... ^_^
@DHYohko especially there models.
There? Where models?
Even kids that graduated Junior High manages to tell the difference between there, their and they're...
Will the race queens be in character?
It would be so awesome if they were, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess "no".
I'm hoping that the race queen playing Asuka knees one of the drivers in the groin if they don't do well...
