Video: 1971 Japanese Grand Prix astonishing domination by Nissan

JPN (Edit 2021: Rocketpencil no longer exists) uploaded another astonishing video: the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix held at Fuji International Speedway!

It consists out of three races: the Touring A (1600cc) class, Touring B (2000cc) class and the Grand Touring class, translating into Bluebird, Skyline and Fairlady Z.

All non-Nissanians will complain I over simplified the outcome of the 1971 Japanese Grand Prix a bit. Yes there are indeed other cars (like the Mazda RX-2) but that’s what the main field and winners looked like: a dominating Nissan. Only later that year the Mazda RX-3s broke the winning victory streak of those menacing Skylines…

Video: Can it get cheesier than this Cressida?

I’m sohohohohohorry! But this North American Toyota Cressida promo (or should I call it a soap-opera) is sooooo cheesy!
Enjoy part one:

And enjoy part two:

Now, my wife would probably divorce me if I wake up like that guy Allen! He really woke up like he had some sort of wet-dream and mumbled a lot of stuff about Cressida! ;)

The sound of the 4T-GTE

The AE86 and the FT-86 aren’t the only cars by Toyota that actually had the 86 designation in them: the Toyota 86C was a Group C racer by TOM’s featuring the infamous 4T-GTE engine (also to be found on the TA64 Toyota Celica rally car!).

This one lap of video is driven by Masanori Sekiya on the Fuji International Speedway in 1986:

I love the sound of the big ass turbo and the blow off valve! Amazing!
