JGTC-WINNING RS*R S14

-

While Nissan may have focused the majority of its All Japan Grand Touring Car Championsh­ip (JGTC) on the bigger GT500 class where the GTRs went up against the likes of NS-Xs, Supras, and other European supercars, down in the GT300 class, the S14 was dominating. The most memorable was the RS*R-sponsored example driven by Hideo Fukuyama and Japanese drifting legend Max Orido, with the team claiming both the driver’s and team’s titles for 1997. A second S14, driven by Nobuyuki Ohyagi and Takayuki Kinoshita, also placed well in the championsh­ip.
