The Castrol Supra

[jayemm89]

Hi all,

Traditionally I am a German car fan, but being a child of the 80s/90s I of course was subject to Gran Turismo and that still defines some of the cars I hold in high regard - quite possible for the wrong reasons!

Anyway, I really loved the look (then, and now) of the famous Castrol Tom's Supras, I am kinda surprised there are very few replicas out there - I can only find an article on one.

Does anyone know whether the race car bore any resemblance to the road car, was it a similar chassis, or a complete custom-made space frame? If you wanted to build a replica, is there a bodykit (Veilside maybe?) that resembles it, or would it have to be a custom fabrication job?

Just curious

Thanks - and apologies if covered already!
James

Anyone remember the Blitz Supra, iirc built for the Nurburgring, and driven by Dave Clark?

This would have been back in the mid 90's.
