The Tokyo Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/tokyo-motor-show/) doesn't have as much going on in the way of cars as we'd like, but there are still a few gems among the pack - especially in the area of motorsports. The Japanese are as keen about their sports as they are their motors, and when the two are combined, you get some pretty tasty kit. Examples? Check out the Nissan GT-R Super GT (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/tokyo-2009-the-race-cars/#2), a rallying Japan Subaru WRX STi (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/tokyo-2009-the-race-cars/#21), several Moto GP offerings (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tokyo-2009-the-race-bikes/), and a Toyota F1 car (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/tokyo-2009-the-race-cars/#28). And unlike in the passenger car realm, the Europeans haven't been left out, with the Alpina B6 GT3 (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/tokyo-2009-the-race-cars/#17) and a McLaren Formula One racer (http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/tokyo-2009-the-race-cars/#23) making a show of things. Check them all out in our gallery of high-res photos below.
