We sat down with Olly from LimitR ahead of Japfest to find out more about the car club that’s chasing the red line and revving up the community.
If you’re one of the many who relish the sound of an engine screaming towards the red line, then LimitR might just be the car club for you. Founded at Japfest 2023 and officially launched in March 2024, LimitR is a community where enthusiasts unite to chase peak performance, rev up their engines, and connect over their shared passion for driving. Admin and founder Olly shares more about the club’s roots, its thriving community, and its future.
What is LimitR car club all about?
“We’re all about hunting for the red line,” Olly says, summing up the essence of LimitR. “The roots of the brand are in Honda, but there’s no model or manufacturer that isn’t allowed. If you’re into chasing the limiter to get all the performance out of the engine, you’re in!”
With nearly 100 cars set to appear at this year’s Japfest at Silverstone, LimitR is making a significant splash in the car scene. “This year is our biggest yet,” Olly reveals. “We have nearly 100 cars on the Japfest stand, with loads more that missed out because tickets sold out so quickly. The growth of the club has been fantastic.”
But it’s not just about showing off beautiful machines. LimitR has its own race team, too. “We’ve got a Civic Type R EP3 running in the UK Time Attack series under the LimitR Race Team,” Olly says proudly, showcasing the club’s commitment to pushing cars to their performance limits, both on and off the track.
What does Limit R off members?
LimitR members get access to a host of perks. “As a member, you get the chance to have your car on the stand at the shows, plus added access to group chats and our Discord server,” says Olly. Whether you’re after advice or just want to connect with other like-minded enthusiasts, the camaraderie is one of the club’s key offerings.
While Japfest is certainly a highlight, LimitR has also hosted meets at renowned venues like Caffeine & Machine, Podium Place, and The Motorist, with plans to expand to other locations. Members can look forward to even more events as the community grows. “The shows we attend include Japfest, Tunerfest, and the Japanese Performance Show, but we’re definitely looking to expand moving forward,” Olly says. And with LimitR’s increasing presence, it’s clear the club is only going up from here.
LimitR at Japfest, the ultimate Japanese car show
LimitR is gearing up for Europe’s Japanese car event of the year, with a standout display at Japfest on April 13th at Silverstone. With over 3,500 cars on display in total, including a massive presence from LimitR, this is the perfect place to witness the best in Japanese car culture. Japfest offers much more than just static displays; track time around Silverstone, the Drift Kings competition, drift taxi rides, and a massive retail village make it the ultimate day out for any car enthusiast.
Olly shares his excitement: “We’re bringing nearly 100 cars, and it’s going to be a fantastic display. Being part of Japfest is always a blast. The atmosphere is electric, and it’s a real privilege to be part of something that’s so well-loved in the community.”
LimitR isn’t just about cars, it’s about the people. “The best thing about being a member is the support from fellow enthusiasts,” Olly explains. Whether you’re after technical advice or simply want to talk shop, the LimitR community is always happy to lend a hand.
Looking ahead, Olly has big plans for the club. “In five years, I see us growing with a strong community and a solid brand. We’re aiming to have more cars competing in events under the LimitR Racing Program. It would be great to be the biggest club at Japfest one day!”
So, whether you’re a fan of track days, car meets, or just want to be part of a passionate and supportive group, LimitR is ready to welcome you.
