About the JTCC

Japan's national touring-car championship from 1985 to 1998. It began as a Group A series with classes by engine size, where Skyline GT-Rs, Sierra Cosworths, BMW M3s and Honda Civics shared the track, and became a 2.0-litre Super Touring series in 1994 before giving way to the JGTC.

1985 to 1993: FIA Group A, in three divisions by engine size (turbo engines counted at a multiple of their capacity). 1994 to 1998: Super Touring, with production-based 2.0-litre cars. The top and bottom divisions swapped their numbers in 1988.
