July feels like peak car event season in the UK. I've had very little spare time to even think about attending the usual gatherings I like to get to, I did manage to get hold of a ticket to the long-sold-out JDM Combe event just a few days before it happened.

It's a car festival at the Castle Combe motor racing circuit in Wiltshire, southern England, which typically happens around the height of summer every year. It exclusively celebrates Japanese cars and car culture ("JDM" stands for Japanese Domestic Market) including modifying and drifting.

As part of an owners club, this was my second time attending and displaying my car with a group of others. The event has a real festival atmosphere, with lots of cars on show - including some incredibly rare ones - along with demonstrations. Including some incredible drifting.
