SKYLINE, COME ON BACK TO THE CIRCUIT AGAIN! In 1982, after a 10-year blank, the Skyline finally returned to the circuit. Behind this revival, there is a heated drama. Masahiro Hasemi, a racer and representative of "Hasemi Motorsports," who had been racing as a privateer for 10 years after Nissan stopped its works participation in Hakoska, heard a strong wish from Prince Motor Sales employees at the time to see the Skyline running in races, and acted accordingly. The plan was to have Prince Sales employees purchase "Nissan Prince Dealers Club (NISSAN PDC.)" stickers for about 1,000 yen each to fund their racing activities and build a DR30 Skyline Group 5 racing car to compete in the race. This plan received more support than expected from Nissan's Research Center, and as a result, Nissan Works was able to enter the Super Silhouette race. The Skyline Super Silhouette is a miraculous car that is the result of the dreams, hopes, and future of those who love the Skyline.
