I guess you never think of race cars running such a high sidewall, but then every open wheel car does it.

I speak to one of the drivers, Tetsuya Yamano, from time to time. He's doing pretty well in Super GT but couldn't finish the suzuka 1000km recently. You guys can check out SubaruOnTube's channel for some highlights from the races. http://www.youtube.com/user/SUBARUOnTube

They recently placed 6th at Fuji (their highest in this race season) using ballsy Ayrton Senna-like tactics. The battle commences at 7:00 with an epic dogfight shortly thereafter:
