We write the year 1964. Prince has just introduced the Skyline 2000 GT-B as a first step into the realms of racing. For the GP of Japan, the Skyline competes against the Porsche 904. The Porsche wins, the GT-B becomes second in an exciting race. Not bad for a car that had never done any kind of racing before. Even better, considering that the Porsche was a pure race car, whereas the 2000 GT-B derived from the Skyline S50 series, a family sedan, and had four doors...

That is almost 40 years and nine Skyline-generations ago, but the basic spirit of those days is still alive today. Since then, the Skyline has not only been closely associated with racing, but earned a legendary reputation for its several championships and victories all over the world. Be it the reign of the PGC10, or the dominance of the R32 GT-R in Japanese Group A racing about two decades later. Hardly any other car has competed in racing as successfully as the Skyline has.

The All Japan GT Championship (JGTC)

The Skyline's dominance in Japanese Group A racing went so far that a new race series called JGTC was inaugurated in 1993, because nobody wanted to compete against Godzilla anymore. With regulations similar to those of the German DTM, this new series was supposed to offer a platform for balanced competition. But for the first two years nothing changed compared to the previous Group A series and the Skyline won both the drivers- and constructors-championships. Which does not mean the competition was bad. With cars like the Ferrari F40 during the early days and currently the Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, McLaren F1, Mosler MT900, Honda NSX, Toyota Supra, Porsche GT2 and several others, the JGTC in fact offers an unprecedented variety of manufacturers and can be considered the best national GT-series of the world today.

But the Skyline was always up to the task, and with five drivers- and four constructors-titles throughout the last nine years, it still is by far the most successful car the JGTC has ever seen. Find more specific information in our Season Reports.

Due to the mass of information, we have divided this section by seasons:

1993-1998 covers the time of the R33 GT-R, which won seven championships during the six years of its career.

1999-2000 deals with the first two years of the R34 GT-R and how Eric Comas became Champion
