Sport Prototype/Competition

Nissan started making Group C cars in 1985. At first a Nissan engine would be mounted in a foreign-made chassis (March Engineering or Lola Cars International), and entered in the WEC (World Endurance Championship) and Japan's own endurance series. The R91CP, however, was entirely Nissan-made, and - driven by Masahiro Hasemi, K. Hoshino, and Toshio Suzuki - it captured the title in the 1992 Daytona 24 Hours, the first time that a Japanese team or Japanese car had done so.
