Tsuchiya and the FC

Few would know that dori dori-chan, as I call Keiichi Tsuchiya used to race in the FC3s in the JSS Japan Super Sport Sedan championship in the mid-late eighties. The FC3s in these events were PP versions and very fast.

Here is a final at fuji. He finished third after leading for a while at the super fast (old) Fuji speedway course. Last corner and straight line speeds were crazy.!

Some of these cars prepared by famous RE-tuners, ERC, RE Sugiyama and Yours Sports. These guys are still around you know, they just don't feature like the RE-Amemiya's of today as they focus on older models or less funding.
