"Who the Fukaru?!", Well! We're a Tuner company who provide modifications and upgrades to all kinds of cars. We work closely with Benny to create not just cars, but works of race-inspired art. Fukaru also manufacture their own NOS, and bottles have been sighted in the back of many performance cars, helping drivers warp the fabric of reality around them, giving them a hearty punch (and in several cases severe whiplash).
After providing sponsors for numerous racing events in Los Santos, as well as sponsors for all kinds of racecars ranging from the Tyrus to the Dune, now it's time for us to try competing with the established racing teams instead of playing "Tree #3" in the background of the school play. It's time to shred tyres and chew bubblegum, and we're all out of gum!
(Totally not a further ad grab to generate more moneys for Fukaru™ Ltd ayyyy nobody reads the smallprint get outta hereee.)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Our standard livery takes design cues from our stunt racing advertisements, while the white schemes mirrors the livery on the Dune (new for Sep 2017!). The contrast livery rounds off the trio using our trademark Fukaru Red, and takes inspiration from the Fukaru Tyrus pictured above, and will never clash with another team on track! Below are the schemes in detail, and modelled on a gorgeous JDM car.
__Standard Racing Colours ___________________ Street Racing Colours _________________Contrast Racing Colours
_ Primary Colour: Metallic Carbon Black ___________ Primary Colour: Metallic Frost White__________ Primary Colour: Fukaru Red (Crew)
Secondary Colour: Fukaru Red (Crew) __________ Secondary Colour: Fukaru Red (Crew) ___________ Secondary Colour: Frost White
___ Wheel Colour: Frost White ______________________ Wheel Colour: Black ______________________ Wheel Colour: Yellow Bird
Neon Colour (optional): Frost White or Crew ____ Neon Colour (optional): Frost White or Crew_______ Neon Colour (optional): Frost White
__ Tyre Smoke: White __________________________ Tyre Smoke: White __________________________ Tyre Smoke: White
NOTE: To get silver pearlescent on the crew colour, apply Metallic Carbon Black first, then apply the crew colour. The Silver pearl will stay when you switch (Or alternatively, just use the standard trick!). Also, for the contrast livery, you can use Frost White rims for a less loud look.

Extravagance comes in many forms, but throwing multi million dollar hypercars around a racetrack is certainly one of the best. And that doesn't even cover repair bills caused by stray plantpots. The final race in Piguy's trilogy of events, this one was the most gruelling challenge yet. LSPD win again (why are there so many criminals when they can drive/chase this quickly!?), but at least we were the runners up! 2nd place overall.

After Fukaru's GT1 and GT2 drivers couldn't make it, jsantospt stepped in last minute to take the reins of the Fukaru Turismo in GT1 alongside MindlessRiff in the Bullet in GT3. Both drivers were unlucky and suffered "engine failures" in the race, resulting in a catastrophic double DNF (and a DNS in GT2). The cars may have been affordable, but a bit more investment by the team in reliable engines would have helped!

A celebration of all things Benefactor, one of Los Santos' most prolific car manufacturers. A successful outing! All three cars finished and finished well! No podiums, but compared to the maiden race for Fukaru racing, an incredible improvement.

A more upmarket edition of the first event, the (slightly) additional expense of these cars ensured everyone finished piguy's event this time around. Short but sweet race resulting in first team silverware in GT3! A solid all round finishing position for Fukaru overall.

Fukaru's first full blown championship with a total of 8 races. Fukaru staple MindlessRiff teamed up with Kili31 to race a couple of family sedans of all things. Included some good results for Fukaru, including two new trophies to the cabinet, and a first ever win for the team. A respectable 5th place team finish overall.

The second edition of the Progen Multiclass Endurance event. This event was filled with prestigious drivers so it was always going to be tough to score good positions here. Fortunately for Fukaru, a lot of them didn't turn up, leading to a cheeky podium in GT3. Thanks for joining guys!

Sunken - Seven-70

Sleek lines, boundless power, and prestige, traits belonging to each of Dewbauchee's cars, but which one is the best? A one off endurance race in Grapeseed would be the battleground between two of the manufacturers best offerings, the Specter and the Seven-70. Who would win and claim the carbon fibre throne (with matching crown) and begin their reign as - (pause for dramatic effect) King of Dewbauchee. Spoilers, Dewbauchee did.

Fukaru Racing - Est. 12th Feb 2017 by MindlessRiff
NOTE: I had to make the crew name 'Fkaru' to get around the R* profanity filter as stupid as that is seeing as its plastered all over the game... Hopefully this doesn't pose a problem. I also made up a silly motto as I couldn't find any relating to it in-game. Can change it if anyone knows if one exists.
