SpeedHunters is an organized Racing league that is based on JDM culture with the purpose of illegal street racing in San Andreas.
We would be a group of people who come together with a shared interest in illegal or underground street racing. A group of drivers and mechanics who participate in high-speed races on public roads, often at night, in an informal, unsanctioned, and illegal manner. Our crew can also include individuals who help with organizing, providing information, or even acting as "lookouts" to avoid detection by law enforcement.
They would focus especially on illegal street racing, from drifting, drag racing, touge racing, and downhill racing to hosting car meets where people come together to show their tuned cars, sharing the same passion for automobiles and socializing.
SpeedHunters showcases not just the racing aspect but the culture surrounding it, including the building of cars, the design, and the lifestyle.
Racing is seen as a central expression of this culture, where innovation, craftsmanship, and personal style come together.
The crew was founded to bring back the illegal street racing scene onto the streets of Los Santos. Either way, for respect, money, or just the thrill—aligns with the broader real-world racing scene that SpeedHunters covers showcasing both the competitive and recreational sides of car culture and the excitement of racing, whether it's on the streets or on the track.
The city of Los Santos was a melting pot of cultures. As Japanese car manufacturers like Nissan, Toyota, and Honda began importing their performance-oriented cars to the U.S., car enthusiasts started noticing the potential these relatively affordable, lightweight imports had for performance tuning and modification.
As word spread, the crew SpeedHunters with the help of local garages and import shops started popping up, offering everything from NOS tanks to turbo kits, custom body kits, and exotic rims. These Japanese cars—often compact, nimble, and highly customizable—were soon modified and raced through the streets of Los Santos in ways that hadn't been seen before.
They became a symbol of rebellion and innovation for a new generation.
Leadership of SpeedHunters:
Takumi Takashi: born and raised in Japan, grew up surrounded by the hum of engines. As a kid, he didn't hear the chirp of birds or the rustle of trees; instead, the symphony of idling motors, shifting gears, and screeching tires was his lullaby. Known for his obsession with speed and unbelievable driving skills, he quickly became respected in the street racing scene.
Making his way up in the racing scene, Takumi always thought about creating his own racing crew, where respect and sportsmanship could exist.
Gustavo Lopiz: Gustavo had always been drawn to cars. From the time he could remember, the sight of a polished engine or the sound of a revving exhaust filled him with an inexplicable sense of peace. His mind and experience in street racing across San Andreas gave him the insight needed for organizing races and challenges in the racing scene.
Gustavo saw the potential for a respected racing crew.
Storm Miles: Storm was drawn to anything with wheels. His parents often found him sitting in the driveway, mesmerized by the cars passing by or playing with toy cars, mimicking the sounds of roaring engines.By the time he was a teenager, Storm had earned a reputation as one of the fastest drivers in his neighborhood. Under the cover of night, he and his friends would gather on empty streets, their engines revving as they prepared to race. It was dangerous, illegal even, but for Storm, the rush of adrenaline was worth the risk.
