36: The Car That Killed Godzilla

#Supra #JGTC #Racing

As the battle worn #36 Toyota Supra skidded across the finish line,
It breathed its last breath to give Toyota what they had been wishing for, for decades, a trophy that said they had finally defeated Nissan.

This is the story of how a decades old rivalry culminated during Japan's golden era of touring car racing. A tale of revenge, of betrayal, and most importantly, of door to door racing.

This is the story of the Castrol Tom's Supra, the dominance of the Nissan GT-R, and the origins of the JGTC itself.

This is THE SQUIDD, a channel devoted to telling boring stories BOLDLY. Automotive icons, car company calamities, supercar legends and underdog heroes. All told through the lens of The Squidd, automotive content creator famous for being a dude with bad hair.
