Since becoming an independent automotive researcher in 2013, he has made it his mission to convey the perspectives of both automobile makers and owners in a clear, easy-to-understand way. His areas of expertise are numerous. To report on the state of global automobiles, he has traveled extensively around the world. Leveraging his experience as an engineer, he is a skilled presenter of advanced technology, while his tenure as an editor equips to him communicate effectively about the driving mechanism. Known for his wide and deep coverage of the automotive world, he also reports on motorsports and classic automobiles, as well as a range of obscure and interesting topics. He is also renowned for his ability to understand how automotive engineers feel and encourage them to reveal their true opinions. Makoto Shibuya Joining Subaru in 1974, Shibuya worked in the development of production automobiles like the WRX STI and BRZ with a specialization in steering stability and ride comfort. In 2011, he moved to STI Product Development as General Manager of the Experimental Division. There he led the development of Complete Cars S207 and BRZ tS, as well as various components. Since 2017, he has been the Project General Manager of STI’s SUPER GT initiative and is overseeing the project in 2018. He enjoys rally, dirt trials, and other motorsports, and is himself a championship-winning driver in the All-Japan Dirt Trial Championship.

  • Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen
    R. J. VALENTINE RACES TO A “FAB” FINISH IN “SAHLEN’S SIX HOURS OF THE GLEN” Braintree, MA (June 25, 2003) – Summer racing really heated up for local business leader and racer – RJ Valentine as he competed in Sunday’s “Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen.” The 2003 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series continued with all new Daytona Prototype (DP) class at Watkins Glen, NY. The DP class is comprised of specially prepared racers powered by diverse engines from Toyota, Porsche, and Chevrolet, to name a few. The three other classes to take on the track consisted of Corvettes, Firebirds, Mustangs, etc. in GT; BMW and Porsches of GT3; and the smaller prototype racers of the SRPII class. Valentine split talent on the track with Ferrari Challenge Champion, Darius Grala, and Formula Mazda Champion, Guy Cosmo in the Team Cegwa Sport’s 4.35-liter Toyota V8 engine-powered silver and blue FABCAR sponsored by OzEXE, F1 Boston and Goodyear. With their winning backgrounds, Valentine, Grala and Cosmo were impressive contenders for the coveted champagne-spraying spot on the Glen’s Gatorade Victory Lane. After a six-hour test of stamina, strategy, and endurance, the team crossed finish line in fifth place overall; third in their DP class. “…the car performed beyond expectations…even with a fuel-pump failure early on, we overcame an 18-lap deficit to finish on the podium…!” R.J. declared. “Darius has asked me to sign on with his team for the remainder of the year. After the Paul Revere 250 on July 3rd-4th I’ll give him my answer.
