Any updates on this yet?

Did they ever have anything besides the FD that won the 2004 D1GP? I never really saw much of Apex'i out there. I definitly want to see what they have in store for Formula D.

Got some spy shots

See, this is why I envy you in some ways, blaze.

Nice spyshots, blaze1 -- thanks for posting them.

Looks like the car is coming along well, I'm imagining it will debut at Seattle, maybe? I think the FD3S may be starting to show signs of wear catching up with it -- not sure why, but it just seemed like it wasn't as sharp or responsive at Atlanta as I remember it being in past years... (Maybe I'm just crazy and imagining things, though.)

Interested to see how the introduction of a new chassis fares for Apexi and Drift Emporium. I'm under the impression Droo-p has had limited success with the SC430 that Kazuya Matsukawa is driving in D1GP.

HAHA sorry guys, I did not take these shots.

They were taken by Rob Nishida and were on his blog, just posted them up since no one did already.
