Local Kenyan expert Shehkar Mehta and his beloved PA10 Violet achieved the feat of winning the Safari Rally four years in a row from 1979 to 1982. Among the many international rallies, the Safari Rally is far more demanding than the events held in Western Europe, and it became an ideal venue for Japanese cars to demonstrate their excellence.

The "Silhouette Formula" car, which was born in Germany in the late 1970s, is a heavily modified racing car that retains only a slight silhouette of the production car. It is equipped with a trendy turbocharger and captivates fans with its overwhelming straight-line speed. In Japan in the early 1980s, Skylines and Silvias spewed flames and raced around Fuji Speedway and other places. Its power is 570bhp

Group C competition, 1985 WEC Japan. More than 80,000 spectators packed into Fuji Speedway in heavy rain. The works Porsche 956 on the first row of the grid withdrew early, and Kazuyoshi Hoshino, driving the March B5G Nissan (No. 28) that qualified third, won the race, which was shortened to two hours due to bad weather. Although bad weather was on their side, it was the first time for a Nissan car and the first Japanese to win a world championship race.

Hypercars in WEC and GTP in IMSA are fantastic. I love how varied they are but could we bring back the….

Nissan Zeod RC

This was a Garage 56 car entered in the 2014 24hr of Le Mans. I know it didn’t really work exactly (it’s gearbox broke quite soon into the race I believe). But I think the tech beneath it deserves another chance

It was powered by 2 electric motors outputting 220kW to the rear. The battery was a small 12.4kWh LithiumBattery (it was 2014) so they charged it with a super efficient petrol engine.

I just find it so cool. With the developments in road EVs and the Gen3 Formula E car I feel like this concept of a Electric racing car with a petrol engine to charge the battery in a stint could be brought back and thrive.

Think of the power of the new FE powertrain and regenerative braking, and batteries are increasing in capacity. It feels like so much potential.

Maybe not in the shape of the DELTAWING though.

There is kind of a continuation of the concept being used by Audi in Dakar which is great. And the upcoming inclusion of hydrogen fuel cells into the race is similar but I think it would be cool to have this hybrid configuration back at Le Mans and compete for the win this time around.
