Hi, I think you're thinking of the later Supra, the 3.0 litre Turbo that raced (or tried to!) 1988/89.
They sounded wonderful for the short time they ran, but just didn't run very long.
These cars also looked fantastic, bright red and sponsored by Shell. Chris Hodgetts was the lead driver, and had numerous team mates.
One other point. I don't think that BTCC Cars had RAC Log Books in 1984...
