Great idea....how about the dominance of Datsun with the 510, Datsun Roadster and the 240Z? That was a fantastic period in road racing history. Peter Brock who was on the Carroll Shelby team that beat Ferrari had the BRE team.
The only reason F1 GTR showed up for 96 was I think due to the japs bashing the Mcclaren a year and a half prior in a video review showing the jap cars walking all over it in a race.

@@GoodBoy-io6fd definitely a mistake but Gordon's golden child dominating the grid only served to show the Japanese companies just where the peak of the ceiling lie. The other companies should be happy the McLaren F1 got as many penalties as it did, otherwise they would've lapped the competition multiple times every race.
@@ZAH33D The F1's BWM V-12 Engine have a Horse Power Control that can be adjusted more than 600 HP. If the organizers allowed the F1 it should have been in the SUPER GT Class and asked the RX7, Supra, NSX, Skyline and GTO in the race to modify their cars up to more than 600 HP and a suspension and weight tuned to that power for a fair race! Of course the F1 should also comply! I know there is no coincidence in this world, everything happens for a reason but it was an IDIOTIC mistake from the organizers of Japan Grand Touring Championship. I wish Japan still sells the DVD or VHS of the Entire 90's up to early 2000's JGTC complete race seasons! I want to buy those complete once I go to Japan including the classic 88 to 96 movies of Wangan Midnight that never got uploaded on the Internet!
Phenomenal story telling with superb narration. This video is not just informative, it's definitely proof that with all the right ingredients, RUclips videos can be of Oscar winning caliber. I'm a huge racing fan from NASCAR, IMSA, INDY CAR, 24 HOURS INSURANCE, even Australian supercar V8 series. And I'm pretty good with knowing history, F1 with it long and prestigious history, NASCAR and there long running history, but Japanese racing history is unknown to me, thank you for making this video, and introducing me to the history of Japanese racing. 5 stars all day with what I think is one of the best videos I've seen in a very long time. Very well done.
Well one, I have a writer and two editors that are credited in the comments! And two, I am 40 years old and have been making video on youtube since youtube started. I've probably worked on over 1,000 different videos, tv commercials, documentaries, etc. Everything is practice. No one is a natural. This is the result of an entire lifetime spent working on a craft, endless nights spent writing, researching, editing, voice overs rerecorded, endless youtube tutorials about sound balancing, souring VHS tapes, magazines, laserdiscs from japan, reading endless websites, results of races, literally watching the entire seasons of JGTC in japanese and trying to translate statements with AI when I need to know what they're saying. That's how this man makes these!
@@the.squiddOne of your most concise, polished and inspiring videos yet. The script and your VO is at or above any other automotive documentaries/ docu-series. You and your teamed killed it.
Please put a course. I will buy it. Im a video editor. The first video I watched was the night before one my most important final year exams, I not addicted to my phone. It was the McLaren F1. No video could keep me on my phone that long but yours and it was the first video I ever saw Your ability to retain attention is unmatched
@@SPECTRA890 Ay man I'm always down to help a fellow editor. Feel free to DM on IG I could give you some notes if you have an edit to review. I don't like the idea of charging people to learn things.
In an era of car RUclips where creators fighting for creative control over what content they want to put out and stories they want to tell seems to be happening at every corner, it's refreshing to see someone just doing their own thing with great quality and depth of information. Might not ever be perfect, but at least you can say it's yours and that's definitely something to be proud of. Hell of a video though, especially for those of us who grew up with JGTC as our poster cars.
I appreciate that! It's definitely not perfect, but my name is on it and I am so proud of each and every video we've made here. So much more than anything else I've created. I love the team I work with, I love the energy of the community of commenters I've cultivated. It's such a joy to create and share these. And yeah, I'm glad a lot of my favorite personalities are learning that they can be creators on their own, and not need to live under the umbrella of a large corporate channel. That's when they are going to truly thrive. I am so excited to see what they do on their own now.
@@the.squidd I think I know what you're referring to. Nice to see that those people are going to be creating things their own way. It makes the whole thing special, and you enjoy every process of it. A massive win-win for everyone.
@@the.squiddBased! Cant wait for the vid bro. You just unlocked some memories within me. I used to have a big diecast #36 my dad got for my birthday. No idea where it is today.
As a devils advocate, you can buy a GR Supra, GR Corolla, GR86, 400Z, maybe soon an MR2 successor, Z4, ND Miata, the C8 Vette is just an absurd value, a line of Dodge muscley things, Mustangs, Camaros, Civic Type R, Elantra N. I get thinking the best days are behind us, but its still a really good time to be a car enthusiast.
@@the.squidd for me this was definitely one of the best car-related documentary I've watched, I just love your style of making content, especially the way you use commercials to set the tone of the time. I hope you keep making these, and keeping me on the verge of tears
I’m ashamed to say I know so little about the JGTC, being a complete JDM tragic. I did see one of these Supra’s at an Autosalon in Sydney as a youngster. I certainly gawked at it as I knew what it was, but I had no idea of its significance. Don’t stop your work SQUIDD. We love you for it.
@@itzVo1tthe jgtc/super gt, it's not boring, plus the cars for me are the best looking grand tourers I've ever seen and the body kits they have, I dare say it's better than the dtm, and they look better than a dtm , without offending those who like DTM, it is a personal opinion.
@@JOSELUISGARCIA-pi8kv It wasn't only boring, it was scripted to a degree that they drove out all other manufacturers on purpose just to push the agenda. It's not that these cars were good, they just regulated the crap out of everyone not fitting the picture. Of course you're entitled to your opinion but it doesn't change the facts that it was highly anti competitive and those cars were not very competitive anywhere else.
AMAZING VIDEO! The TOM'S Supra in the intro of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec will forever be one of the reasons why I love cars. Thank you for telling the story behind it.
The fact that the Calsonic GTR is one of the fastest cars up the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb speaks volumes about how overengineered it was for the time. It still puts out faster lap times than current day sports cars n supercars with all the new age tech n hybrid powertrains. What a machine!
In all fairness the Calsonic GT-R that competes at Goodwood isn't the same that raced JGTC, it's wildly more powerful, makes 650HP on low boost and 1000HP at max.
@@MeefMoaf agreed the power isn't the same but what i think he was saying is that even today that chassis and engine combo is still deadly even though it's 30 years old
Lessgo ! Glad you're taking the time, cause in a few years you'll be able to look back and think its good content, unlike people who rush and can only give the "i had to post excuse" !
your " little corner of the internet" provides some of the most captivating, entertaining, insightful and passionately made content i feel out of any automotive channel or anywhere on RUclips. The time between each upload shouldn't faze anyone from coming back every time to be glued to the screen. Absolute Perfection of a format and absolutely incredible content as usual!
Your 503E is my 4AGE, the real little Toyota engine that could. A Legend in South African Motor Sport. Thanks for your contribution to motorsport by immortalizing these legends, please keep them coming!
The 503E needed representation. It just isnt talked about, even Toyota covered it up and called it a 3S-GTE to make it seem like it was just a modified 3S. No, this engine is something else.
I know its been a long time between stories, and you just delivered an hour long masterpiece, but i need the next installment of the JGTC story. No one can match your story telling and video formatting. This is the way all documentaries should be. Keep up the incredible work Squidd. We'll all be here waiting for the next story, no matter what it is or when.
With my ADHD I’m gonna wanna change gears for now. I have to find new stuff all the time or my brain dies. But this won’t be the last you hear of JGTC here
I'm 66 years old hello from Texas I remember when they used to broadcast the Pikes Peak race on ABC World Sports. Biggest names in racing would go up there you had the Petty racing the Andretti's all those machines sliding around the dirt it was awesome😊
bro i literrally teared up at the introduction of `96 all japanes e legends coming for each other.... ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCTION!! Thanks for that mate SQUIDD!!!
This is one of the very few things that can get me to sit straight up and pay attention for over an hour, Thank you squidd and team for making something so interesting, entertaining, and informative.
This is by far the best documentary I have ever seen in my life. Your soundtrack choice is the ice on the cake. PURE EMOTION. Hats off my friend. You created a timeless piece of art. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for finally making a video about JGTC. I just recently learned about it and have been watching various RUclips videos, but they’re not SQUIDD level.
I think we definitely have a unique take on the story. I don't think anyone's gone as deep as we have... no one is as weird and insane as me and my team ha
The funny thing about the Mclaren F1 was the Murray was actually pretty hesitant to race the car. Their objective was to make the greatest road car of all time, it just happened to be good at racing too.
This channel has single handedly made me appreciate GT racing and cars as a whole. I love not only the cars but stories and drivers that are there every step of the way. One of the best channels on this site
You guys are the best car channel on RUclips without a doubt! Goddam! Anyone writing your script is a frickin genius of the craft and clearly loves cars, racing, and storytelling. I don't know how you do but I cannot finish a Squidd video without blurry eyes and a runny nose. I love what you do and thank you!
When I saw this video on my homepage I just knew it would be amazingly good, after all this channel has put amazing content video after video, and a video on JGTC is always a good video. What I didn't expect was a literal masterpiece of story telling, I almost cried towards the end of this vid. Of course the story of Toyota, Nissan and JGTC is most likely among the greatest in motorsport, but the script, the imagery, THE GODDAMN MUSIC, it almost felt like I was living it myself even though this story is now close to 30 years old. All of you working on this video have outdone yourselves, it's crazy
the cool thing is, Rod Millen still has his celica and still races it at his home up his driveway, which he turns into an event called leadfoot here in new zealand.
@@the.squidd Best In route would be see if Gentleman Jim can get you an invite anyone know if he still has that car sales with his sharknose 6 series in it on moorhouse? If you don't get an invite it's always good to chat to Jim Richards so wouldn't be a lost cause. He was very open on how to get into the invitationals and is a racing legend to boot.
I am absolutely blown away and was at the edge of my seat the entire time watching this documentary. You and your team that bring these videos need to be recognized on such a broader platform because you and your friends that help you do this your team, are amazing. You gave me something that to enjoy.
Why is this video essay making me emotional..? The thrill of competition and racing heritage between manufacturers is so moving. Its a primal thing I would say. The fight to be number one. Man, I love motorsports
@@DarkHeartsOfcl. Started building bearing cages and tightening spokes to true at 9 years old on BMX’s. At 13 got a job at a flea market and bought my first motor, a GX163 and frame where I built my first go kart from a local Northern tools with a 40 tooth sprocket that ran on I-95. Still own my US27 legend Hatchiroku 7rib big port GZE injectors 169mph. Motorsports junkie. 🏁
Great watch! Time well spent. Learned something new again. What makes it special for me is also the fact that I loved to drive these vehicles in Gran Turismo game! Had absolutely no clue about Nissan's dominance. Very much appreciated!
I said it once and ill say it again. You my friend..are a storytelling legend. I often find myself watching care videos more often that not and and everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like most if not all of these channels put to shame by the sheer brilliance that are your videos. The build up, the knowledge, the music..all of it comming together just show the kind of passion you have for cars. Thank you Mr. Squidd..thank you..
McClaren literally said 'hold my beer, I'll teach these youngsters a lesson', absolutely ragdolled the best of an entire country's automotive industry with ease, and left after their point was proven.
But what did you expect? F1 drivers and endless financial backing with experience from f1 was always gonna have an advantage. That’s like a Premier League Soccer team playing a college soccer team
@@SPECTRA890 precisely. Big pockets and f1 tech and experience was always gonna beat the JGTC cars. But, it still doesn’t take away how bad ass and how fast those Supras and GTRs and NSX’s were. In fact, the golden age of 90s Japanese sports cars was all thanks to JGTC
A lot of these things were going on and I was a baby in 1990 and a kid in 1997. I was missing out on these races and watching them now at 33 years old in 2024. And now own a mark 3 1990 toyota supra turbo project with no transmission (r154) or the engine (7mgte) Great video and definitely a quality one for sure.
One of the best RUclips Channels out there. You’ve put your heart and soul on this one. Great story writing and keeping with the facts. Keep up with the good work!
I still remember the day Jeff Krosnoff perished in 1996. I was watching the race live on TV when his vehicle went airborne, killing a marshal, his vehicle hitting a pole and splitting into shards. It was the first time I saw someone die. It still messes me up. I didn't realize he raced in JGTC, and I had to stop for a bit after his name was mentioned. Rest in peace, Jeff.
You know it's good times ahead when the SQUIDD posts a video. This man packs emotions between every word he speaks. Not a single video that has failed to make me cry. It feels like this is the start of a huge journey, and I am all for it.
Wow man, Your story telling is just amazing. Literally I felt goosebumps at some parts of the film. I would surely call this a film. its length, its production quality, the archive footages, your editing, your Voiceover and the music, it all just made it into a Super[Supra] amazing film. Keep it up. Loving your work.
Masterpiece. Cannot wait for more JGTC videos. It has been my absolute favorite racing series since ever. Yes, theres GT300 and GT500 now, but... nothing beats the JGTC era. Ever. And also... Toyota FTW.
JGTC: The competition this time is finally even! Toyota has a chanc- wait give us a min... _pushes Murray out_ JGTC: Now, where were we? Also, this channel is the most amazing a channel has ever gotten, and the fact that we never know when a video will drop makes each one so much better.
Thank you for the video, you legend. You are inspiring people and generations to come. If only 1 channel was allowed on YT, I wish it was yours!! Thanks to you, JGTC, TOMs36, PDL and many more are now immortal!!
I had the Toyota Castrol Tom's Supra (JGTC) in Gran Turismo 3 for play station 2. Probably the first game to get me into sim racing and racing in general. What a legend
Wow, what a fantastic story! It was so well put together and kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire hour. That’s really saying something because I haven’t sat down to watch anything-whether at the cinema or on a computer-for more than an hour in over 15 or 16 years! Well done, mate!
The JGTC has always fascinated me. Something about it hits different from all the other motorsports. Perhaps it's the spirit of competition, with cars you can buy the Monday after the race. Plus, as a fan of the many Japanese cars of the time and even now, the JGTC seems like a dream. Thank you for covering the Supra in the JGTC. This was truly made with passion and if you do the story of the JGTC, it would be an incredible feat.
Your videos are one of the only videos I can watch through its entirety without fast forwarding. Everything you say has a purpose without fillers and BS. Quality and production are unmatched. Thank you 🙏
Which is crazy cause when this ended up being an hour long, I thought, oh no is it just a bunch of filler? But I couldn’t bare to cut a single word out of it.
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen. For me, your docs are up there with Napoleonblownapart and the Mixed Martial Academic. What an amazing tribute to not only 36 but the entire JGTC. Keep going, I'm sure I can speak for a few people on here who can't wait to see your next film. Thank you.
Ngl the shared effort of many got me pretty tearful it might just cars but the story of the cars and the people are really captivating, and your storytelling was phenomenal keep making art Sir Squidd.
It gives you feels because you know its true. We so often simply our stories down to one person, or a car, or an engine being the cause of success, but the reality is it takes all of us to make the world go round. It takes the guy who sweeps up the pit garages to keep the dirt out of the eyes of an engineer who's trying to fix some meticulous part. Every hand that works on a machine, is as important as any other. Glad that message landed with you friend. It was the most important one.
Holy shit the wait was worth it. Your effort shows, and your love of the subject is infectious. Keep up the fantastic work, hats off to you and your team!
two or three days ago i checked your channel only to see that you haven't posted in a while, glad to see you back and thankfully the fear that you might never return is now gone haha. even before watching i can tell it's a great video! thank you for your upload and i hope you're doing great!
As long as I am physically and legally able to make these, I will. Even if no one's watching. I'll always wanna do this. It might be long gaps, or more regular posts, I dunno. But i wont stop.
I almost forgot about this channel. Don't drop your videos in frequent successions. We love your well researched and amazingly written content even if it's a bit late. Just keep doing your thing. We know good things take time.❤
As a kid playing GT and GT4 the Toyota Castrol Tom's Supra became ever since my favorite car in these games. Whenever possible it was my option to race. I did not even know about the facts from this video, I could just tell it was special. I was also a big Toyota fan and that of course sparked the attention.
How does anyone come up with these? The information, footage, the high quality editing. It's not like you can just type "car" in wikipedia so it gives you the full historical context. This is real dedication; no wonder it takes so long.
A lot of work. Magazine articles. Translating old articles from Japan. Facebook historians. I bought VHS tapes and DVDs and translated those. I watched every race from Japanese accounts on RUclips
Great story and really well presented. Very much enjoyed this! Never been a Supra fan myself, always preferred the Nissans they competed against, but that these cars were and remain iconic for good reason is beyond question
Same here friend. I kinda made this video so that I myself could have more perspective into why the Supra is so beloved. I’m 100% a GT-R man myself still.
LOVE the mugen NSX as well. You saying one pulled out early broke my heart a little. New NSXs lack those beautiful long block rear lights that made the 90s one stand out so much from their competitors. New ones look like they could’ve been designed by any number of other car companies (like Ferrari or McLaren)
He gave coffee a shoutout 🥲 but no seriously, this was an amazing documentary. I can see now why Kazunori was excited to bring GT3 to the masses to feature this legendary beast. it had anger, resilience, perseverance, beauty, and desire all wrapped up in one package ready to deliver for Toyota and Japan. Thanks for this backstory. Can't wait to see future ones.
This is one of those channels that is exactly why YT is such a gem of a platform. A lot of grabage and nonsense on here but then theres also channels like this that put together these absolutely beautiful pieces of cinema art while teaching people like me who know jack shit about this subject something genuinely awesome. Channels like this with this type of effort and quality help these stories live on forever and in such a beautiful way. Thank you and your team for what yall do and bring us🤞🏽
Thank you my friend, that kinda feedback really motivates us all to keep going. It's what I love about this most, sharing the knowledge. These things happened, these people gave their all to create these machines and compete, its a honor to help carry on their story to others. And yes, I agree, the freedom of expression on RUclips is its greatest strength. I could never make content like this working for someone else, or making a TV show or some other form of content where I have to appease advertisers or broadcast standards. So glad to have this outlet.
@the.squidd nah thank yall! Fr absolutely beautiful work. It's so cool to me knowing that if I happen to accomplish something that's significant to my lil ol life that one day in the future there's some random person out there who's passion it is to make tv like productions if not even better on me and a legacy can live forever through productions like these. I know nothing of cars or racing and have binged every video on this channel and all of these people's legacys in your videos would have never been known to me if not for these vids. It's quite beautiful. P.s. take as much time as yall need in between videos ppl like me will still be here and ready to watch when yall drop

Well one, I have a writer and two editors that are credited in the comments! And two, I am 40 years old and have been making video on youtube since youtube started. I've probably worked on over 1,000 different videos, tv commercials, documentaries, etc.
Everything is practice. No one is a natural. This is the result of an entire lifetime spent working on a craft, endless nights spent writing, researching, editing, voice overs rerecorded, endless youtube tutorials about sound balancing, souring VHS tapes, magazines, laserdiscs from japan, reading endless websites, results of races, literally watching the entire seasons of JGTC in japanese and trying to translate statements with AI when I need to know what they're saying.
That's how this man makes these!
@@the.squiddit shows, you (and your team) are excellent.
@@the.squiddOne of your most concise, polished and inspiring videos yet. The script and your VO is at or above any other automotive documentaries/ docu-series. You and your teamed killed it.
Please put a course. I will buy it. Im a video editor.
The first video I watched was the night before one my most important final year exams, I not addicted to my phone. It was the McLaren F1. No video could keep me on my phone that long but yours and it was the first video I ever saw
Your ability to retain attention is unmatched
@@SPECTRA890 Ay man I'm always down to help a fellow editor. Feel free to DM on IG I could give you some notes if you have an edit to review. I don't like the idea of charging people to learn things.
In an era of car RUclips where creators fighting for creative control over what content they want to put out and stories they want to tell seems to be happening at every corner, it's refreshing to see someone just doing their own thing with great quality and depth of information.
Might not ever be perfect, but at least you can say it's yours and that's definitely something to be proud of. Hell of a video though, especially for those of us who grew up with JGTC as our poster cars.
I appreciate that! It's definitely not perfect, but my name is on it and I am so proud of each and every video we've made here. So much more than anything else I've created. I love the team I work with, I love the energy of the community of commenters I've cultivated. It's such a joy to create and share these.
And yeah, I'm glad a lot of my favorite personalities are learning that they can be creators on their own, and not need to live under the umbrella of a large corporate channel. That's when they are going to truly thrive. I am so excited to see what they do on their own now.
@@the.squidd I think I know what you're referring to. Nice to see that those people are going to be creating things their own way. It makes the whole thing special, and you enjoy every process of it. A massive win-win for everyone.
Thats the Gran Turismo 3 mascot car! I loved this car specifically as a kid!
Everyone should watch the GT3 startup cutscene. It’s pure kino.
This car, and Gran Turismo, are the roots of how I became a car guy. I pretty much exclusively drove the #36 in GT games that had it.
@@the.squiddBased! Cant wait for the vid bro. You just unlocked some memories within me. I used to have a big diecast #36 my dad got for my birthday. No idea where it is today.
I loved the supra jgtc in gt5 it is such a great handling car
"ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY?"
Not quite. The Castrol Supra in GT3 is the 2000 specification car.
I love playing your documentaries in my background while i play need for speed. Makes my tired day a thousand times better.
Happy to be part of your day friend!
This was the golden years in GT racing. Not just in Japan, but world wide GT racing was just brilliant.
Been going through and watching Australian GT races of the time, very good
@@TheFeed816 And DTM with the Alfa Romeo beast!
36:54 nissan gt-r, toyota supra, bmw e36 m3, honda nsx. What a time to have been alive. Race on Sunday, buy on Monday, even as a blue collar worker.
As a devils advocate, you can buy a GR Supra, GR Corolla, GR86, 400Z, maybe soon an MR2 successor, Z4, ND Miata, the C8 Vette is just an absurd value, a line of Dodge muscley things, Mustangs, Camaros, Civic Type R, Elantra N. I get thinking the best days are behind us, but its still a really good time to be a car enthusiast.

That was brilliant. Thank you
This is by far the most complete and informative documentary about the supra ever made ! God bless you
"how much quality and research do you want?" The Squidd: "YES"
The depths we went to on this one.... I hope it was worth it.
@@the.squidd for me this was definitely one of the best car-related documentary I've watched, I just love your style of making content, especially the way you use commercials to set the tone of the time. I hope you keep making these, and keeping me on the verge of tears
@@the3dotguy no plans on stopping any time soon, so many more stories to tell
@@the.squidd yay!!
@@the.squidd It really was worth every second.
There are barely any other creators in the world who can deliver these stories like you
I’m ashamed to say I know so little about the JGTC, being a complete JDM tragic. I did see one of these Supra’s at an Autosalon in Sydney as a youngster. I certainly gawked at it as I knew what it was, but I had no idea of its significance.
Don’t stop your work SQUIDD. We love you for it.
It never matters when you learn. It just matters that you never stop learning.
I mean you should not be ashamed to not know about the MOST boring racing series. Even more boring than modern f1.
@@itzVo1tthe jgtc/super gt, it's not boring, plus the cars for me are the best looking grand tourers I've ever seen and the body kits they have, I dare say it's better than the dtm, and they look better than a dtm , without offending those who like DTM, it is a personal opinion.
@@JOSELUISGARCIA-pi8kv It wasn't only boring, it was scripted to a degree that they drove out all other manufacturers on purpose just to push the agenda. It's not that these cars were good, they just regulated the crap out of everyone not fitting the picture.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion but it doesn't change the facts that it was highly anti competitive and those cars were not very competitive anywhere else.
*What’s a JDM tragic?!?*
I call these 'Squiddeos' now.
Love this
I second this!
I will now also.
@@the.squiddthanks for another banger Squiddeo!! 👍
Elite-tier automotive content as always 💯💯👏👏 keep it up!
Thank you so much my friend!
AMAZING VIDEO! The TOM'S Supra in the intro of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec will forever be one of the reasons why I love cars. Thank you for telling the story behind it.
The fact that the Calsonic GTR is one of the fastest cars up the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb speaks volumes about how overengineered it was for the time. It still puts out faster lap times than current day sports cars n supercars with all the new age tech n hybrid powertrains. What a machine!
You think thats quick try the Australian Grp A R32 Skyline the best in the world
@@MarcoUchello02 Was it the red, white n blue car?
In all fairness the Calsonic GT-R that competes at Goodwood isn't the same that raced JGTC, it's wildly more powerful, makes 650HP on low boost and 1000HP at max.
@@rahulsudhir666also all red with a white stripe just below the window sill level, with Winfield and Shell as main sponsors
@@MeefMoaf agreed the power isn't the same but what i think he was saying is that even today that chassis and engine combo is still deadly even though it's 30 years old
Lessgo !
Glad you're taking the time, cause in a few years you'll be able to look back and think its good content, unlike people who rush and can only give the "i had to post excuse" !
I am so proud of every single video we’ve made. None have been “just to post” and I don’t think I’ll ever make a video that way again.
@@the.squiddJust finished it after stopping midway at the release.
Another masterpiece... thank you so much !
your " little corner of the internet" provides some of the most captivating, entertaining, insightful and passionately made content i feel out of any automotive channel or anywhere on RUclips. The time between each upload shouldn't faze anyone from coming back every time to be glued to the screen. Absolute Perfection of a format and absolutely incredible content as usual!

Your 503E is my 4AGE, the real little Toyota engine that could. A Legend in South African Motor Sport. Thanks for your contribution to motorsport by immortalizing these legends, please keep them coming!
The 503E needed representation. It just isnt talked about, even Toyota covered it up and called it a 3S-GTE to make it seem like it was just a modified 3S. No, this engine is something else.
Off topic but I think RUclips's having a brain fart, Squidd's reply is an hour earlier than the comment
❤🇿🇦
Squiddo must agree too, he snuck one in at 17:34
Mr2 with 3sgte ❤ big power build. Toyota ❤
Greatest recap of an era. The consistency of Toyota TOMS’s teams and drivers made a lasting impression. Thank you
That's probably why TOM'S is one of the most successful teams in the JGTC/Super GT
because of one victory? Everything I can take from this is how awesome and consistant Nissan was in that era.
@@electricpaisy6045 TOM'S has won more GT500 championship titles in the JGTC/Super GT than any other team in the series including NISMO
@@AdamTheMan1993 not in the video
What an incredible and emotional documentary piece. Your team's work clearly paid off.
I know its been a long time between stories, and you just delivered an hour long masterpiece, but i need the next installment of the JGTC story. No one can match your story telling and video formatting. This is the way all documentaries should be. Keep up the incredible work Squidd. We'll all be here waiting for the next story, no matter what it is or when.
With my ADHD I’m gonna wanna change gears for now. I have to find new stuff all the time or my brain dies. But this won’t be the last you hear of JGTC here
90s JGTC umbrella girls just hit different.
dude if you watch the races, the amount of umbrella girl stuff they do is insane. It's so funny and such a culture thing.
0-60in 2secs in 1997... That would still be a challenge to beat today
I'm 66 years old hello from Texas I remember when they used to broadcast the Pikes Peak race on ABC World Sports. Biggest names in racing would go up there you had the Petty racing the Andretti's all those machines sliding around the dirt it was awesome😊
I’ve been to the race a number of times. Pikes Peak holds a special place in my heart
bro i literrally teared up at the introduction of `96 all japanes e legends coming for each other.... ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCTION!! Thanks for that mate SQUIDD!!!
This is one of the very few things that can get me to sit straight up and pay attention for over an hour, Thank you squidd and team for making something so interesting, entertaining, and informative.
This is by far the best documentary I have ever seen in my life. Your soundtrack choice is the ice on the cake. PURE EMOTION. Hats off my friend. You created a timeless piece of art. Thank you 🙏
Wow, thank you!
Incredible story. Amazing Production. please keep it up. youre one of my favorite automotive channels by a mile
Thanks for finally making a video about JGTC. I just recently learned about it and have been watching various RUclips videos, but they’re not SQUIDD level.
I think we definitely have a unique take on the story. I don't think anyone's gone as deep as we have... no one is as weird and insane as me and my team ha
The funny thing about the Mclaren F1 was the Murray was actually pretty hesitant to race the car. Their objective was to make the greatest road car of all time, it just happened to be good at racing too.
When the world needed him the most. He has returned 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
This channel has single handedly made me appreciate GT racing and cars as a whole. I love not only the cars but stories and drivers that are there every step of the way. One of the best channels on this site
that's what we try to do here! These are incredible things done by incredible people and we just wanna let everyone learn about them and become fans!
You guys are the best car channel on RUclips without a doubt! Goddam! Anyone writing your script is a frickin genius of the craft and clearly loves cars, racing, and storytelling. I don't know how you do but I cannot finish a Squidd video without blurry eyes and a runny nose. I love what you do and thank you!
my entire team has a love for machines and love for these stories. Every word, cut, music track and sound effect are group effort here.
When I saw this video on my homepage I just knew it would be amazingly good, after all this channel has put amazing content video after video, and a video on JGTC is always a good video. What I didn't expect was a literal masterpiece of story telling, I almost cried towards the end of this vid. Of course the story of Toyota, Nissan and JGTC is most likely among the greatest in motorsport, but the script, the imagery, THE GODDAMN MUSIC, it almost felt like I was living it myself even though this story is now close to 30 years old.
All of you working on this video have outdone yourselves, it's crazy
and we'll keep doing it if it means we have that kinda effect on people. Thanks for watching and letting us know how you felt friend!
Well said!
the cool thing is, Rod Millen still has his celica and still races it at his home up his driveway, which he turns into an event called leadfoot here in new zealand.
I know I wanna goto leadfoot so baddddd
@@the.squidd Best In route would be see if Gentleman Jim can get you an invite anyone know if he still has that car sales with his sharknose 6 series in it on moorhouse? If you don't get an invite it's always good to chat to Jim Richards so wouldn't be a lost cause. He was very open on how to get into the invitationals and is a racing legend to boot.
I am absolutely blown away and was at the edge of my seat the entire time watching this documentary. You and your team that bring these videos need to be recognized on such a broader platform because you and your friends that help you do this your team, are amazing. You gave me something that to enjoy.
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. THE GOAT HIMSELF IS BACK
Why is this video essay making me emotional..? The thrill of competition and racing heritage between manufacturers is so moving. Its a primal thing I would say. The fight to be number one. Man, I love motorsports
Because he used emotional music and talked in a dramatic way, a simple trick.

Absolutely stunning episode. It was 100% worth the wait
Great watch! Time well spent. Learned something new again. What makes it special for me is also the fact that I loved to drive these vehicles in Gran Turismo game! Had absolutely no clue about Nissan's dominance. Very much appreciated!
I said it once and ill say it again. You my friend..are a storytelling legend. I often find myself watching care videos more often that not and and everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like most if not all of these channels put to shame by the sheer brilliance that are your videos. The build up, the knowledge, the music..all of it comming together just show the kind of passion you have for cars. Thank you Mr. Squidd..thank you..
Was just thinking I hadn’t seen any incredible automotive content in a while… Welcome back, we missed you
McClaren literally said 'hold my beer, I'll teach these youngsters a lesson', absolutely ragdolled the best of an entire country's automotive industry with ease, and left after their point was proven.
But what did you expect? F1 drivers and endless financial backing with experience from f1 was always gonna have an advantage. That’s like a Premier League Soccer team playing a college soccer team
@@alvaroperez7879 for sure lol it wasn't a fair fight
Bro The F1 Ragdolled the entire world 🤣 Japan could never compete
@@SPECTRA890 precisely. Big pockets and f1 tech and experience was always gonna beat the JGTC cars. But, it still doesn’t take away how bad ass and how fast those Supras and GTRs and NSX’s were. In fact, the golden age of 90s Japanese sports cars was all thanks to JGTC
yeah they had all the cash to do that shit.
A lot of these things were going on and I was a baby in 1990 and a kid in 1997. I was missing out on these races and watching them now at 33 years old in 2024. And now own a mark 3 1990 toyota supra turbo project with no transmission (r154) or the engine (7mgte)
Great video and definitely a quality one for sure.
One of the best RUclips Channels out there. You’ve put your heart and soul on this one. Great story writing and keeping with the facts. Keep up with the good work!
Appreciate that
I still remember the day Jeff Krosnoff perished in 1996. I was watching the race live on TV when his vehicle went airborne, killing a marshal, his vehicle hitting a pole and splitting into shards. It was the first time I saw someone die. It still messes me up. I didn't realize he raced in JGTC, and I had to stop for a bit after his name was mentioned. Rest in peace, Jeff.
You know it's good times ahead when the SQUIDD posts a video. This man packs emotions between every word he speaks. Not a single video that has failed to make me cry.
It feels like this is the start of a huge journey, and I am all for it.
Damn...I haven't cried since my dog died when I was 10. I guess we are all different tho
Wow man, Your story telling is just amazing. Literally I felt goosebumps at some parts of the film. I would surely call this a film. its length, its production quality, the archive footages, your editing, your Voiceover and the music, it all just made it into a Super[Supra] amazing film. Keep it up. Loving your work.
Thank you so much 😀
Masterpiece.
Cannot wait for more JGTC videos. It has been my absolute favorite racing series since ever. Yes, theres GT300 and GT500 now, but... nothing beats the JGTC era. Ever.
And also... Toyota FTW.
Return of the King! Long live The Squidd!
JGTC: The competition this time is finally even! Toyota has a chanc- wait give us a min...
_pushes Murray out_
JGTC: Now, where were we?
Also, this channel is the most amazing a channel has ever gotten, and the fact that we never know when a video will drop makes each one so much better.
Thank you for the video, you legend. You are inspiring people and generations to come. If only 1 channel was allowed on YT, I wish it was yours!! Thanks to you, JGTC, TOMs36, PDL and many more are now immortal!!
One of the best documentaries Ive seen in years. Well done. The narrative of these stories was spot on. Good job
I had the Toyota Castrol Tom's Supra (JGTC) in Gran Turismo 3 for play station 2. Probably the first game to get me into sim racing and racing in general. What a legend
Wow, what a fantastic story! It was so well put together and kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire hour. That’s really saying something because I haven’t sat down to watch anything-whether at the cinema or on a computer-for more than an hour in over 15 or 16 years! Well done, mate!
The JGTC has always fascinated me. Something about it hits different from all the other motorsports. Perhaps it's the spirit of competition, with cars you can buy the Monday after the race. Plus, as a fan of the many Japanese cars of the time and even now, the JGTC seems like a dream.
Thank you for covering the Supra in the JGTC. This was truly made with passion and if you do the story of the JGTC, it would be an incredible feat.
Your videos are one of the only videos I can watch through its entirety without fast forwarding. Everything you say has a purpose without fillers and BS. Quality and production are unmatched. Thank you 🙏
Which is crazy cause when this ended up being an hour long, I thought, oh no is it just a bunch of filler? But I couldn’t bare to cut a single word out of it.
Hell yeah, awesome to see you back man!!🔥 "My satisfaction is immesureable and my day is saved"

Thank you.
Ngl the shared effort of many got me pretty tearful it might just cars but the story of the cars and the people are really captivating, and your storytelling was phenomenal keep making art Sir Squidd.
It gives you feels because you know its true. We so often simply our stories down to one person, or a car, or an engine being the cause of success, but the reality is it takes all of us to make the world go round. It takes the guy who sweeps up the pit garages to keep the dirt out of the eyes of an engineer who's trying to fix some meticulous part. Every hand that works on a machine, is as important as any other.
Glad that message landed with you friend. It was the most important one.

I wanna be more consistent, but I will never ever ever sacrifice the storytelling. It's all that matters here.
As a kid playing GT and GT4 the Toyota Castrol Tom's Supra became ever since my favorite car in these games. Whenever possible it was my option to race. I did not even know about the facts from this video, I could just tell it was special.
I was also a big Toyota fan and that of course sparked the attention.
Same! I actually had a whole intro about how this was the car that made me who I am because of gran Turismo but I cut it out
The art of storytelling is strong with this page.
As a Supra fan/owner/builder, I Thank You.
Thank you friend!
Waiting for the videos for months, finally the wait is over. I can take popcorn and enjoy this masterpiece 🤤
Hopefully not 7 months wait for the next one, but no promises! haha
How does anyone come up with these? The information, footage, the high quality editing.
It's not like you can just type "car" in wikipedia so it gives you the full historical context.
This is real dedication; no wonder it takes so long.
A lot of work. Magazine articles. Translating old articles from Japan. Facebook historians. I bought VHS tapes and DVDs and translated those. I watched every race from Japanese accounts on RUclips
Great story and really well presented. Very much enjoyed this!
Never been a Supra fan myself, always preferred the Nissans they competed against, but that these cars were and remain iconic for good reason is beyond question
Same here friend. I kinda made this video so that I myself could have more perspective into why the Supra is so beloved. I’m 100% a GT-R man myself still.
@ skyline allll day! The yellow and black penzoil nismo being the poster child of gran turismo 3 left a mark on me
LOVE the mugen NSX as well. You saying one pulled out early broke my heart a little. New NSXs lack those beautiful long block rear lights that made the 90s one stand out so much from their competitors. New ones look like they could’ve been designed by any number of other car companies (like Ferrari or McLaren)
That ending almost made me shed a tear. Amazing story of such a great era of racing 🎉
We're back like we never left!
Lancia's Dynasty next maybe?
Brings back memories of the Tom's Supra in the Gran Turismo games. Countless hours in the virtual car.
He gave coffee a shoutout 🥲 but no seriously, this was an amazing documentary. I can see now why Kazunori was excited to bring GT3 to the masses to feature this legendary beast. it had anger, resilience, perseverance, beauty, and desire all wrapped up in one package ready to deliver for Toyota and Japan. Thanks for this backstory. Can't wait to see future ones.
This is one of those channels that is exactly why YT is such a gem of a platform. A lot of grabage and nonsense on here but then theres also channels like this that put together these absolutely beautiful pieces of cinema art while teaching people like me who know jack shit about this subject something genuinely awesome. Channels like this with this type of effort and quality help these stories live on forever and in such a beautiful way.
Thank you and your team for what yall do and bring us🤞🏽
Thank you my friend, that kinda feedback really motivates us all to keep going. It's what I love about this most, sharing the knowledge. These things happened, these people gave their all to create these machines and compete, its a honor to help carry on their story to others. And yes, I agree, the freedom of expression on RUclips is its greatest strength. I could never make content like this working for someone else, or making a TV show or some other form of content where I have to appease advertisers or broadcast standards. So glad to have this outlet.
@the.squidd nah thank yall! Fr absolutely beautiful work. It's so cool to me knowing that if I happen to accomplish something that's significant to my lil ol life that one day in the future there's some random person out there who's passion it is to make tv like productions if not even better on me and a legacy can live forever through productions like these.
I know nothing of cars or racing and have binged every video on this channel and all of these people's legacys in your videos would have never been known to me if not for these vids. It's quite beautiful.
