As I remember, yes they were the RAS cars- the only time they appeared in 1988. If you look closely at this pic, there's an 'RAS Sport' logo on the front spoiler, just below the intake slot:

These 'IMC Toyota' entries have puzzled me for a while- there were always a lot of them at Spa (if you look at the 1600 class, all the Corollas apart from the Spanish Camac car are entered by IMC!), and they include cars which can be clearly identified as run by well-known Corolla teams, such as Bob Holden's car from Australia (#133), a TOM'S car from Japan (#139), and a British Chris Hodgetts CHMS entry (#148).

Were IMC something like the Belgian Toyota importer, or a club, and a lot of regular ETC Toyotas were entered under their banner at Spa for some reason?
