ok, so i just spent the last half an hour at work listening to the clip again and again to try and work out what the best translations would be. it's far from good but then, i'm not a translator. i haven't finished yet... in fact i have only just got to the bit where ben is by the tyre truck.





Narrator: The person who heard about a drift competition in England was this man...

Nomura: We have been to many places and areas, but today we have come to England. I am guessing that there will be a lot of "bakachin" (idiots/fools) here so lets go and find some.

Text: A huge grand stand… what is this place

Nomura: they are planning on running the D1 Grand Prix here

Text: Rockingham speedway

Nomura: From what we can see, it’s a circuit that holds 100,000 and the straight is about 5,6,7,8 “speed (? forgive me i don't understand)” entry, where you would shift down at 7. It’s really dangerous with the wall.

Narrator: Just in case they expect a demo run…
Text: His image training for his demo run looks quite dodgy
Nomura: oh it’s dangerous!

Narrator: as the home of motor sports such as F1, race day seems to be a regular occurrence. They seem to be looking forward to this thing from the orient called “dorifuto” or something…

Nomura: ok, it now the competition day. Now that I’m on the track, it seems a little small. As you can see the BMW sign is colourful today. (Text: It doesn’t look like BMW…) As you would expect from a drift competition.

Nomura: And this morning over 1000 people have gathered to watch the event. (Text: the grandstand has shrunk a little bit) Drifting must be huge in England too…

Narrator: no matter how you look at it, it’s a local circuit. You gotta start from these places... But their interest for drifting is serious. It’s the new extreme for the young ones.

Text: some kind of mistake? A magazine of another “type” seems to be here to cover the story too...

Nomura: I just got given a mag like this… Isn’t it great? Oh Zaku-san (name of camera man) what are you filming?

Nomura: practice seems to have started…
Text: Drifters from all over the UK and Europe have gathered.

Nomura: according to what I have just heard, the man driving that car has the urasu “stitched” on his arm. Just like senior Izumida. I’ll have to look after him for the rest of my life.

Nomura: Stop Stop Stop. You don’t have a helmet… you do have a helmet… your helmet. (it’s ok) oh, the doodle on your arm… you are quite the “bakachin” (Text: it’s the real thing but why this picture?) nevermind, I’ll look after you for the rest of your life… he’s been watching pirate versions!!!

Nomura: and here is a “gaisha” (forgein car) In Japan the BMW would be considered more luxury than the Silvia but are you a “bon bon”? (bon bon = Rich Kid) (sorry?) “Bon bon”? (Bon Bon?) Your sideburns almost join with your beard. (yeah)

Nomura: Lets go. His sideburns stick out of his helmet. Wonderful!
Someone that looks like the mafia has just got on board next to him.
No matter how many time you look, sideburns are coming out of his helmet.

Text: English on board camera looks pretty dangerous.

Nomura: The camera has come out of the roof.
If he crashes the camera will fly off somewhere? It seems quite bouncy…


the rest will come after i get home and have some dinner and a packet of cigarettes. i need them after all tht translating from sound that hard to hear clearly
