1999 Toyota Supra A80 JGTC
@mark_scenemedia
How does an old, awesome race car end up as the world’s fastest and most expensive flowerbed? Well, because nobody else wanted it. Which, considering it was relatively successful (finishing 14th overall in its final season, but also on the podium at Fuji Speedway) is a bit bonkers.
What you're looking at is the 1999 Toyota Supra #38 Cerumo FK/Massimo JGTC car that was driven by Yuji Tachikawa and Hironori Takeuchi. Not some half-arsed marketing buck, either, but the actual car that raced, complete with all its mechanical bits intact, apart from the transmission.
After the 1999 season there was a sponsorship change within the race team, so the main sponsor wanted to get rid of the car. But no one wanted it; it was too complex to run, too expensive. So the owners of the shop where it lives now managed to bag it for free and use it as an eye-catching momento outside the office.
It’s been sat in the same spot for the last 15 years. So long in fact, they can’t actually remember exactly how long it’s been there. But long enough for the paint to fade and crack, tyres to deflate and for the rust to set in and turn the motorsport parts a nice shade of sad, neglected brown.
As you can imagine, over the years they've been approached multiple times by people (from all around the world) wanting to buy it. Some have even offered heinous amounts of money. But they will never sell it. No matter how bad its increasingly decrepit condition gets, it's got tremendous sentimental value and drums up attention in a way a giant inflatable man or Freelander parked on some rockery simply can't. But will they ever restore it? Well, it's always been on their to-do list but they've never got round to.

Godzilla taking the wheel in the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
I remember drawing it a few months ago, since I actually heard the Nissan Skyline GT-R was nicknamed "Godzilla", due to its success in the Australian touring car racing and the JTCC, which were dominated by the R32 model. I could have give him a R32 model with the JTCC-inspired kit, but I did gave him an R34 model instead.

N1
Currently, the N1 is the closest racing car to a production car. As long as parts such as the suspension are allowed to be replaced, the engine can basically be considered normal. Therefore, running costs are low, making it ideal for beginners.
JTCC
JTCC vehicles, called super touring cars, have regulations that are closest to N2, but their main feature is that they are limited to 2-liter 4-door sedans. There is a wide degree of freedom in modifying the contents, and engines can be replaced as long as they are from the same manufacturer, and displacement can also be increased or decreased. The installation of over fenders is prohibited, but since last year front and rear aero parts have been allowed.
GT
This year's main race, GT, currently has strict limits on restrictor diameter and minimum weight among all races using production cars, but it is the race with the most flexibility in modification. The only prohibition is to compete in a four-door sedan. Because aero parts can be installed freely, it can be said to be a racing car that is the complete opposite of a JTCC vehicle.
