Nissan Skyline R31 Turbo Group-A Jim Richards - 1989
A bit better prepared this week for #mocaroundgang #mocaround57 for 80's touring cars.
This period covered my life ages 7 - 17, so a primetime interest in cars. It helps that I also live in Australia, home to the legendary Bathurst 1000 km Touring car race, held in October.
The 80's started off in Australia running Group-C regulations, with a switch to International Group-A in 1985.
Nissan had raced regularly at Bathurst and the ATCC through the 1980, initially with Bluebirds, and Skylines. The R31 debuted in 1989 with Jim Richards as the lead driver. The Ford Sierras proved dominant in 1989, but the Skyline would go on to win the championship in 1990.
