Nissan Skyline GT-R GT500 onboard: Time For Tea?
A Pennzoil R34 and Fuji? It's all your Gran Turismo fantasies come true at once!
They were of course incredibly fast real life racing cars too, the JGTC featuring all of them - and more - in some form of another during the 90s and 2000s. And we like fast racing cars, especially when we've driven them in the virtual world. So when NISMO releases an onboard GT-R clip, with the driving by Alex Buncombe...
Truth be told this isn't a new video; we wanted to feature NISMO's recently uploaded clip with the Calsonic R32, but sadly that's not very good. This is, though. Really good. For one lap of Fuji - where else? - Buncombe drives the Pennzoil-liveried Skyline for all it's worth. Well, it looks the way at least.
Worried it might be undramatic? Don't be. Spikes of boost spit it sideways, the gearbox needs throttle blips on the way down and it's still seriously fast, even on a big track and nearly 20 years after it was made. Cool car.
What was your favourite? Have you seen them race out in the real world? Gran Turismo All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship fans and nerds, your time is now!
