Despite retaining the form of the production car, this monster machine is a “Super Silhouette,” a race category introduced into Japan in 1979. Driven by H. Yanagida, this Bluebird won the championship title twice, in 1980 and 1982. In the 1983 Fuji GC series, it won 3 rounds out of 4. It also won the Tsukuba event, displaying overwhelming power.
