One of the very few Group 5 Cars that actually raced in both the German DRM Championship and the Japanese Super Silhouette Championship.
Unfortunately this one is often forgotten as it was basically a failure in both, the car itself had fairly respectable pace but had terrible reliability.
In its two Years of DRM Racing from 1977 to 1978 it won a Single Non-Championship Race at Zolder while having the majority of its other entries either being down the back or just a DNF. It didn’t really get any better in Japan for 1979 where it Won a Single Race the whole year and retired from all the others.
The Car itself is actually more iconic in Slot Car and RC Car form than it is as a real car.
Sadly as a result of its forgotten nature there are not that many photos of it
I’m trying to find videos of this car, but I can only find videos of it in other games. Alteast that confirms that there is a car to scan / 3D models of the car available.
I believe the DRM mod group for AC used the schematics from the Tamiya model to make their (non licensed) version. Since nothing is licensed, all of the liveries are fictional versions of actual liveries.
