    It's been a long long time. I appreciate the patience everyone. Just know, there wasn't a single day that went by that I didn't want to put something else out. There wasn't a moment of time that my team didn't work their butts off. This delay was all my own doing, and I don't wanna say it's worth it... but I do want to say this is maybe the piece I am most proud of so far. I never want to sacrifice quality for quantity, but gosh dang do I miss sharing these stories with you all.
    I hope you enjoy, or enjoyed. Have a wonderful day friends, and go forward in your lives today with the conviction and fearlessness that those Toyota teams had standing up to Nissan in 1997.

      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!

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

    Brings back memories of the Tom's Supra in the Gran Turismo games. Countless hours in the virtual car.

    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.

    I just want to thank you for enlightening me. My love for cars started when I was young playing Gran Turismo 3 with my brothers. I fell in love with the Yellow R34 and this White, Red, and Green Mk4 Supra (Tom’s). To this day 90’s JDM are my favorite cars ever and the R34 is still my dream car. This history lesson on Toyota’s and Nissan’s rivalry and the JGTC made me feel like I got to time travel and experience the height of the racing world I fell in love with. Now I have a deeper understanding of the passion and domination behind the GTR and the Supra. You are amazing 🤍

      Thank you friend that means a lot to hear. I have a similar origin story. Say what you want, but I think the car world really owes a lot of respect to the GT games for making so many car enthusiasts throughout its history.

    Great video, as always!
    Can you make one on TVR?
    I feel like they made some of the most beautiful cars ever and they are not very well known outside the UK.
    Also there were a lot of problems goind on with the brand, and that could make for an interesting story
