Prepare for PANDEMonium as one of Japan’s most influential names in modified-car culture arrives at World Time Attack Challenge 2026 with Kei Miura, three drivers and two extraordinary Rocket Bunny machines.
TRA Kyoto’s unmistakable bolt-on overfenders and extreme silhouettes have helped define an entire era of global car customisation. From grassroots drift builds and Tokyo Auto Salon show cars to video games and Hot Wheels collectables, Kei Miura’s Rocket Bunny and PANDEM designs have become icons far beyond Japan.
Leading the charge at WTAC is Tsubasa Nagasawa in the Rocket Bunny Racing Nissan Skyline R32. Immortalised as a Hot Wheels model in its white competition livery, the R32 combines a turbocharged engine with an HGT Precision four-speed sequential gearbox, Link G4X Extreme ECU and full PANDEM GTE body kit. WORK Meister S1 wheels, WiseFab rear suspension and Tsubasa Shokai steering knuckles complete a machine built for serious drift competition.
After battling under lights, the R32 will return for demonstrations with fan-favourity Yuura Momo. Known as Japan’s “Drift Gal,” Momo blends competitive driving with gyaru fashion and the energy of Japan’s contemporary street-car scene. She returns to WTAC as part of the 2026 Yeah The Girls team.
Debuting at WTAC for the first time and joining the Yeah The Girls team, Japanese drift and rally driver Arisa Mizuhara will command TRA Kyoto’s outrageous PANDEM Toyota Hilux. Built around a 90-series Hilux, the one-off drift truck produces 650hp from its turbocharged 2JZ-GE, delivered through a Toyota R154 transmission and R200 differential. Its re-engineered TRA Kyoto suspension, exposed rear frame and dramatic PANDEM bodywork turn a workhorse into rolling automotive theatre.
Momo and Mizuhara will perform across both days before joining Mayhem After Dark on Saturday night, bringing Japanese drift, custom and gyaru culture together in one high-energy showcase. The man behind the movement, Kei Miura, will also appear at the WTAC Stage alongside the drivers. Meet-and-greet and signing times will be announced in the official stage schedule.
