I was doing a bit of research on Japanese Super Silhouette race cars yesterday, for an article I’m writing….. and came across these cool vintage videos… Feast your eyes on these hypertrophied monstrous racing machines!

?????!..... Wow this vid makes me feel old. Love the wheels on the 23 silvia, love how the Camera man bumped the dudes head at the end.



Why dont they still use Reeth's anymore for the winners??

Very cool video taken ( or included in...) from BMI History Vol.2.

Note that the presence of the BMW M1 among these fantastic cars betray the huge DRM influence on this JGTC/SuperGT grand'mas.....we are in 1982 , and the DRM's end was near , but JGTC started to shine all over the world. :)

Clearly these car were designed with a german touch on both body and mechanical aspects, but contains enough "Japan exotism" to look devilishly sexy !



Thanks ROD , keep on the good work ;)

Inspired many into the Gran Chan style which shortly later evolved into what we know as the Bosozoku style!



It is indeed amazing how many of these old vintage movies end up on youtube lately. ;)
