Hasemi Racing Heritage, Known.
A snap from the recent Japanese SuperGT race in Sepang shows the Hasemi Motorsport car harking back to R30 Super Silhouette livery.
I for one, approve!

That’s really cool of them I think, it’s such a sweet shade of red.
You see that photo I tagged you in man? GOOD

[...] team is ditching his Yellow Hat R35 GT-R for a return to the red and black! Like the folks at Retro-Classics, we think this is an awesome nod to history. Expect to see a deluge of red and black R35 minicars [...]

Great to see the Hesemi honoring the Tomica Skyline R30 livery!
Actually the middle picture showing the R30 Super Silhouette is not the later form. It is the Group C Nissan Skyline RS Turbo C which was used in endurance races outside Japan. It was ordered by an South African Nissan dealer to compete in the Kyalami 9 hour endurance in 1982, so the two are made during the same period.
Technically they are quite alike, but due to the difference in rules between Group C and Group 5 the Turbo C had to be lower and wider than the Group 5 car.

Oh, choice. Cheers for that info man. Unfortunately the only info I have on it is in Japanese and I’m not even vaguely fluent. Glad to have that clarified. I’ll adjust the post shortly to correct my mistake.
