[s-cars] Re: Skyline

[William Noland]

Actually, the Skyline was seldom rallied -- the occasional tarmac rally,
perhaps. The car was road raced, especially in Japan touring car
classes, and made a couple of appearances in the GT class at LeMans. Not
quite on par with the Porsche GT1, but finished as high as 10th in 1995.
Not the best looking car around, though the GTR's were fairly butch.
More of a GT car, with lots of electronic tricks, four-wheel steering, etc.
