After the success that was the Cortina Cup we thought we'd move ahead in technology......slightly. The battle of Japan puts 2 giants of the motoring world head to head. Nissan vs Toyota. Who will you take in this battle for the ages.
This league once again looks to be a lot of fun, 2 evenly matched cars that can rub paint without issue, the rev limit is when you reach valve bounce and keeping it straight and tidy is approximately 15 degrees of over-steer.
A wide Variety of Japanese tracks, with the tight and twisty Knutstorp Ring (Sweden) finishing off the league after a KSR member suggested it for use.

The clutches are crap, the brakes on the Celica are terrible (the Skyline doesn't have any) and both steer like a dead fish.
No idea how you guys are setting those lap times!
