The All Japan Touring Car Championship was revived in 1985. It attracted a wide variety of cars from all over the world and became very popular. In 1989 2 Skyline GT-R were finished by NISMO to Group A regulations and the GT-R immediately dominated the series with its powerful 2.6-liter straight-six turbo 600bhp engine and four-wheel drive, and the competition between the teams became heated. At the 1990 Inter TEC, No. 12 in the photo (Kazuyoshi Hoshino/Toshio Suzuki) won the first overall victory for a Japanese car.

When Worlds Collide - The Early Merger Era of USCR

I remember when I was in high school I would always try and get my school's "Car Club" up and going. I'd post flyers, give announcements over the PA and ask the teacher lending us the room for help with ideas. Unfortunately it was only ever me and one other classmate who would occupy the classroom at lunch, never really finding a single person to share my rather obsessive interest with. There was this one other kid, a senior at the time, that would be at one of the computers in the class room looking at spotters guides of some sorts. At the time I was solely a NASCAR fan, not really paying much attention to other forms of motorsport. I knew Super GT existed thanks to Gran Turismo 5, and of course there was Formula 1 but I never feigned too much interest in it. So when I peeked at his screen I noticed that it was what known as the Tudor United Sports Car Championship at the time. Of course, I didn't know what it actually was at that time. My small little NASCAR infested brain had never heard of this series before -- and that's because it was a completely new idea, birthed from years of two separate American sports car series competing for the same audience throughout the 00s and early 10s. The American Le Mans Series was much like the rest of the ACO sanctioned championships across the globe, using state of the art prototypes and factory GT efforts to fill their grids. However, by the end of the ALMS era there was a clear struggle to fill the prototype grids, with only a literal couple of P1 entrants running in any given race weekend.

The Grand-Am Road Racing Series was the complete opposite of the sleek and sexy cars ready to travel to France every June. Their top class were these tube frame "prototurtles", which in their first year looked more Florida man rather than Florida endurance classic. However, what they did have in their pocket was the iconic Daytona 24, which throughout its years would play host to multiple big time NASCAR superstars hopping in to turn right for the first time in a few good months. Their GT cars were also a bit non-orthodox for that matter too -- whereas you had Porsches and Corvettes battling it out for top honors literally shoulder checking each other Grand Am boasted Pontiac GXPs and Mazda6s... though, admittedly they were also tube frame based machines.

So when the merger news came about, obviously it was a pretty big shock to everyone's system. I mean, how the heck would these two completely different types of series fit in with one another given that Daytona Prototypes were literally pieces of metal put together to look somewhat like a race car in comparison to the prohibitively expensive prototypes that literally no one could afford to run these days... but maybe that's what sports car racing needed. After years of having to recover from the sudden decline of the sport (thanks Bernie) everyone was kinda doing whatever the hell in their own corner, with the BPR scurrying off into their own corner trying to make their own flavor of sports car racing before getting blown up by some guys from Stuttgart that would create so much baggage for Stephane Ratel that he garnered a hate boner for factory teams, the ACO still hanging onto the Le Mans 24 with its ever changing prototype category that once literally got gamed by those same German assholes from Stuttgart a few years earlier, the guys in Japan having to make a completely new regulation after their prototype series just kinda died off which even led one team fielding a 962C against some Skylines... America just kind of had to go their own way. And we all know the trope of the USA saving the world.

I mean, the mere sight of seeing these brute beasts with their loud and brash V8 motors running alongside these sleek and sexy prototypes is enough to get anyone the least bit interested just for the weird factor. The racing it gave wasn't too bad either.

The premise of these awkward Daytona Prototypes bumbling through the bumps of Sebring just like their European brethren is worth the price of admission itself. And we haven't even gotten to the rest of the field! You had the infamous Prototype Challenge category that would provide the race with its full course yellow quotas and almost down right dangerous levels of idiocy, but they're just honestly trying their best. Of course, there was also the ever iconic GTLM field with multiple factory GT teams duking it out going all touring car on each other battling for 2nd to last, while the GTD class derived from the Grand-AM GT category had its own oddities that would be simply wrong to look over. The 911 GT America is a car that seems to come out of someone's fever dream that I wouldn't be surprised if it came up in a /r/ThomasThePlankEngine post. There was also the R8 LMS with the teeny ass wing. I don't know why I remember that, but it's always so funny to see that specific car show up in Forza games when there's literally newer R8s to feature.

Even the calendar itself was a "greatest hits" of both series, with both sides having to play on each other's grounds with the Daytona 24 and the 12 hours of Sebring being the big crown jewel events. Of course, you also had the rest of the endurance races that both series managed to carry over, the 6 Hours of the Glen from the Grand-Am side and the Petit Le Mans over on ALMS' side. Long Beach and Belle Isle were two street courses that both series brought along that would prove to be marquee events, and something of an interesting tidbit that I would be remiss to mention would be the Prototype Challenge only race at Kansas Speedway. Yeah. That layout. You know the one.

The Daytona Prototype mix of cars lasted up until the end of 2016, which would bring the beginning of the new era of sports car racing. While I don't have great opinions on the DPi platform, it nevertheless influenced the current resurgence of the prototype category, whilst the growth of the global GT3 regulation made up by our good friend Stephane Ratel would occupy the GTD category and would go on to encompass the entire field, becoming one of the many influences that would make it replace the declining GTE class as the top global grand touring class in the world. Indeed, the United part of the United Sports Car Championship really did become reality -- though it probably had a far bigger outreach than they initially expected. Or maybe it was their intention from the get-go. Who knows. Anyways, take a look at this Daytona Prototype.

Button mulls WEC for full-time return and would love to try NASCAR oval | World Endurance Championship

Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula 1 world champion, is looking at making a full-time return to racing next year. The 43-year-old raced in F1 between 2000 and 2017, though his final year featured just one grand prix in addition to an appearance in Japan’s Super GT sports car series. Button competed full-time in sports cars until the Covid-19 pandemic. That, along with F1 broadcasting commitments and an advisory role with the Williams F1 team, restricted him to three race outings in three years. This year Button moved into stock car racing, committing to a three-race programme in NASCAR’s top level Cup series. He also joining its Garage 56 project for the Le Mans 24 Hours alongside Mike Rockenfeller and Jimmie Johnson. Button made his NASCAR debut at COTA in March His first appearance was in March at Circuit of the Americas, where he finished 18th, then he raced a modified NASCAR car at Le Mans earlier this month. Speaking to media including RaceFans ahead of his Cup series return on the new Chicago street circuit next month, Button said his return to racing has made him hungry to scale up his efforts for 2024. “There’s lots of emotions, positive and negative, from COTA. Does it make me want to do more? Yeah,” Button said. “Road courses, yes. Ovals, I would love to try an oval one day, but it’s another world. These guys have driven ovals since they were five or six years old. So why would I be good at it? I don’t know. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “It’s a possibility, but it’s a lot of work and it’s already enough getting used to driving such a big car for me. And that style of racing is a big step as well. Button was also part of NASCAR’s Le Mans entry “So maybe one day. But I’m very happy and very lucky to be doing the three races that I’m doing this year. Looking forward to Chicago and then obviously Indianapolis [road course] a few weeks’ time after that.” Having sampled various forms of motorsport since retiring from F1, Button is now looking at committing to a series full-time again. “I have jumped around doing lots of different things over the years. I also raced in GTs in 2020, I did one race in the UK in the GT3, and rallycross. Basically because I’ve always wanted to race in those series, so I’ve been very lucky that I’ve been able to jump into certain cars here and there and race. “I didn’t think that I would want to do a full season again because of how busy the schedule always is, but I feel that I’ll be racing in something next year doing a full season. It’s great doing one-off races, but you don’t get the best out of yourself. “That’s why for me doing three races here in the Cup has been really good, because I get to spend time with the team, I get to spend more time in the simulator and really working with my engineer crew chief to develop the skills between us and to have a good understanding. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “So, yes, I want to do a full season next year. Time-permitting. I need to balance a few things, as I’ve been very busy this year. But it will be endurance racing, which will be either IMSA or WEC.” However Button stressed he is open to further NASCAR outings. “Who knows what could happen in the future, whether it’s WEC, IMSA, or maybe some more NASCAR races. I don’t know. But I’ll definitely be leaning on Jim [France, NASCAR CEO] maybe a little bit for that.” Become a RaceFans Supporter RaceFans is run thanks in part to the generous support of its readers.

The Mk2 Toyota Supra

It was Easter weekend of 2022 and my girlfriend and I had woken up at 5:30 in the morning so we could go see the sunrise. After the successful trip we decided to get breakfast at Acme on the Isle of Palms. When we were done with breakfast we walked out to the parking lot to the beautiful view of this Mk2 Toyota Supra. This car is such an important piece of car culture because of what it did on the track. Toyota was already a dominant figure in the Japanese Super GT but with the presentation of the Mk2 Supra it solidified their place in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship.

Nigel McGuinnes v. KENTA (Ring of Honor 7th Anniversary Show) 3/21/09

A bit of a long one, clocking in at just over 25 minutes. The lengthy runtime may be a turn-off for some people (for some odd reason) but those twenty-five minutes are chock-full of wrestling wizardry. The 2000s were some of the best years for Ring of Honor, featuring some of their biggest stars, best matches, and their working relationship with Pro Wrestling NOAH. That relationship allowed numerous ROH talents through the years like Samoa Joe, Homicide, Davey Richards, El Generico, Roderick Strong, Jay & Mark Briscoe, Jimmy Rave, CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Nigel McGuinness, Chris Hero, Erick Stevens, and Kevin Steen to compete with NOAH talent such as KENTA, Kenta Kobashi, Naomichi Marafuji, Go Shiozaki, and Takeshi Morishima. The ROH x NOAH partnership thus allowed for a slew of legendary matches combining technical wizardry and stiff striking in a beautiful and brutal cocktail of violence.

KENTA's resume speaks for itself - trained by the great Kenta Kobashi, the innovator of the GTS (Go to Sleep) was a multi-time GHC Jr. Heavyweight and 1x GHC Heavyweight and tag team champion in NOAH, spending over a decade with the promotion. He would later move to the United States for an uneventful stint with the WWE as Hideo Itami, before returning to Japan, arriving in New Japan Pro Wrestling, aligning with the Bullet Club, and making a few appearances for All Elite Wrestling along the way. He's renowned for his ability and is undoubtedly a legend.

Nigel McGuinness does not have the same kind of career as KENTA. His brightest moments were in Ring of Honor, holding both the World and PURE championships in superb, lengthy reigns. His clashes with Morishima and especially Bryan Danielson became the stuff of legend amongst ROH fans, but unlike Danielson, his talent couldn't outweigh his concussion concerns. A chance at joining the WWE was dashed by his history of head injuries, and the arguably biggest role he would wind up playing was Desmond Wolfe in TNA. Life sadly dealt him a bad hand, but his performances during his time in the ring still impress even years later.

As apart of ROH's 7th Anniversary show in 2009, KENTA and Nigel met in the ring in a match for Nigel's ROH World Championship. The champion entered the match with an arm injury suffered during a previous tag match, but still managed to perform at an exceptional level during the contest. Even though it was Nigel that came in hurt, much of the match revolved around the story of the champion targeting KENTA's arm. With multiple Tower of Londons, including one to the outside of the ring, being hit and Nigel attempting to weaken the challenger to set up the London Bridge, KENTA spends much of the match as the underdog attempting to come up from behind. The contest has numerous close calls and on many occasions it truly feels like KENTA will claim the world title.

It's a very good match, and one of Nigel's best defenses. ROH was something special in the early 21st century, and Nigel and KENTA were big parts of that.

⭐⭐⭐⭐. 5 stars out of five.

Skyline GTR race history.

KPGC-10

The Skyline GT-R (PGC10) was born in 1969. It was equipped with the S20 (1989cc inline 6 DOHC 4 valve) engine for the Nissan R380. From 1971, the 2-door hardtop KPGC10 became mainstream, and in 1972 it won 50 races (Fuji Inter 200 Miles on September 3, 1972).

BNR32

The R32 model, equipped with a straight-six engine, turbocharged engine and 4WD, revived the GT-R name, and at the same time, the name resounded on the circuit for the first time in 17 years. In the All Japan Touring Car Championship, it quickly overtook the Ford Sierra of the time, and went on to win the championship four years in a row until 1993.

BCNR33

The GT-R moved its battlefield to the All Japan GT Championship. From 1995 to 1998, the R33 model was introduced, which was converted to FR and had its drivetrain and aerodynamics modified, and it won the championship in the first year and in 1998. It also became the center of Nissan's Le Mans project and participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 5th in its class (1995).

BNR34

It made its debut in the opening race of the 1999 season, and went on to win the championship that year. The R34 was light, had excellent rigidity, and was more aerodynamically refined, so it seemed ideal, but it struggled with the rise of rivals. In 2002, it was equipped with a new VQ engine, but still failed to win a race. However, the following year it was reborn as a stronger and faster car, achieving a double crown.

From top left > top right > bottom: Mazda SA22/FB RX-7 GTU spec, SA22 GTO spec, MX-6 GTU spec and FC3S RX-7 GTO spec.

Mazda knew that their rotary engine was reliable and having the itch to race it outside of Japan properly, Mazda decided to join the US IMSA GT series as they knew that it was a production based racing series where the budget isn't too high so for the 1st time when they entered in 1978, they entered it with 2 RX-3. It did not win races but performed well enough for Mazda to develop a new car for the series, the dominating SA22.

The SA22 was ready by 1979 (as seen above) and Mazda employed a team of engineers from a company called "Racing Beat" to develop a race 2-rotor engine and the product created was a 1.3L NA (naturally aspirated) 2-rotor engine making ~300hp @ 9000rpm and Mazda decided to enter it in the GTU class (engines below 2.5L classification). Mazda brought it 4 cars out on its debut at the 24hr of Daytona and the RX-7 GTU not only clinched 1-2 podium on qualifying but also won its class in the race and the other 2 cars entered finished 5th and 6th. The car continued to battle on the year and had strong podium finishes but still lost out the 1979 year run. However, in 1980, the same 2 car used in 1979 was reused and this time, Mazda never skipped a beat and ended the championship for the the GTU class by winning it with 2 races left to spare, proving that despite being underpowered against its competitors, the rotary can bring its power to bare easily, being very reliable and a potent system to boot. Mazda never followed up with factory support for the GTU class with the RX-7 from 1982-87 but customer teams who bought these RX-7s locked out the championship for the GTU class for consecutive years.

Racing Beat, having seen their success with the GTU spec car, decided to enter the higher GTO class with the same engine in another chassis but the same SA22 specification in 1983. The car debut yet again at the 24hr of Daytona and surprisingly won again despite being way underpowered than its GTU competitors (GTO classes are all engines above 2.5L consisting of massive V8s and what-nots) proving that despite being underpowered and puny, it could run rings around the big boys and eat them up clean. 1984 saw the GTO efforts being carried on by Roger Mandeville and he won the championship in that year. Things were not so great from 1985 onwards as teams got faster, the SA22 became stagnant and no matter how hard Roger tried to improve the GTO spec SA22 to compete, it lost out to its faster opponents and by 1986, Roger went back to the GTU class.

Mazda then entered the 1989 season with a factory backed MX-6 for the GTU class. Being a FWD vehicle, it would be uncompetitive on the race track over a long time and Mazda knew that they had a problem. However, due to their luck, Toyota, Mazda's main competitor in the IMSA series, faced the same issue too as the car that they wanted to field at that time was the FWD Celica so Toyota went to see if they can get the rules changed and.. They did. The rule was changed that teams can change drivetrains and engines around as long as it falls under the restriction of the class. So Mazda went to work and stuffed a 3-rotor 20B engine in the puny MX-6 chassis, swapped it to RWD and sent it off. It did not win in 1989 but won in 1990 after beating a privateer in a RX-7.

Following their win in the GTU class in 1990, Mazda went and focus on the GTO class again and this time fielded a FC3S with a 13J-M 4-rotor engine. Despite being overshadowed in its debut year by its MX-6 brother in the GTU class with the former only going as high as 3rd in the championship whereas the latter won its class, the FC GTO did win the following year and it was also the year that Mazda won Le Mans with the 787B becoming one of Mazda's best defining year.

Having been sponsoring its own factory team and other customer teams from 1978-1992, Mazda has won 10 championships in total, 8 in the GTU class and 2 in the GTO class whilst being the most dominant team in the series until IMSA ended in 1994.

Desert Debut Set for Aston Martin Racing’s Vantage

Aston Martin Racing embarks on its final race of 2019 with a point to prove as the Vantage GTE makes its desert debut in the BAPCO 8 Hours of Bahrain.

The Danish crew of the #95 entry, Nicki Thiim and Marco Sørensen, have set the pace in the previous two rounds of the FIA World Endurance Championship GTE Pro category. Having won the 6 Hours of Fuji in Japan, they were all set for a famous back-to-back success in China last month until they suffered a late-race puncture while leading comfortably.

The championship returns to Bahrain after a year’s absence for the fourth round of WEC, which runs from summer-to-summer, and as the series reaches the halfway stage it is also racing to a new 8-hour format for the first time. It’s a key round of the championship because it is worth 1.5-times the points for the top nine finishers and therefore has the potential to change the complexion of the championship fight.

The #97 crew of Alex Lynn (GB) and Maxime Martin (BEL) are hoping that it will also trigger a change in fortune. Fast all year, the duo have finished on the podium in every race, but the hit ratio could have been even higher had it not been for a run of badly-timed full-course yellows and rain showers that compromised their strategy.

The Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE is already a winner in its debut GTE Am campaign, thanks to back-to-back victories for the customer TF Sport team and their driver line-up of Salah Yoluc (TUR), four-time British GT Jonny Adam (GB) and recently-signed works driver Charlie Eastwood (IRL). But the factory version has been a contender everywhere, despite having had its race compromised in each of the first three events through no fault of its own. The #98 crew of Paul Dalla Lana (CDN), multiple 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner Darren Turner (GB) and works driver Ross Gunn (GB), have charged back into podium contention at both the 4-Hour races, at Silverstone and in the most recent round in China where they finished third. It means that Dalla Lana returns to the scene of his 2017 FIA WEC GTE Am title triumph determined to win, even with the 5kg success ballast the car will carry into the race.

The BAPCO 8 Hours of Bahrain begins at 15:00 local time on Saturday, 14 December, 2019.
