Wow :shock: Thank you so much for sharing this. The photos alone are worth it but having all the race reports together is a bonus. Lots of coverage from Japanese magazines 8)

HELP! We need a Translator! Or even 10 because of the amount of information. :)

Let's move it to scans btw.

M. Hirosaka and his father now have a youtube channel. They show their cars and have even re-built the re-released Schumacher Cat.

I really enjoyed the Masami re-re video series. Masaki saving the bags from each kit :lol:

I am obviously biased as a Schumacher fan, but Masami's 1st World Championship stands out to me as his greatest achievement, or at least the coolest. A guy and his dad show up at the IFMAR World's and win it! Incredible. That is not to diminish his other wins, but his subsequent championships were achieved with the full weight of the "empire" behind him.

Masami's first win is sort of a Bob Glidden, Bill Elliott, Dan Gurney type of thing.
