Toyota IMSA GTU cars
The involvement of Toyota in the IMSA championship was crowned with success, with titles in both the GTO and the GTP categories.
The road of the success began in 1983 when AAR took over from Kent Racing in the IMSA GTU championship. That's the period 1981 - 1985 which interest me. As far as the AAR/Toyota connection is concerned, it seems that the joint venture started from 1983 when the AAR entity entered the ex-Kent cars. The same year (unless it was in 1984) AAR built its own tubular chassis based machine. Meanwhile the car was rebodied. In 1985, a GTO version was developped from the GTU car. The following year, a new Celica made its debut. It win the GTO title in 1987. I'm looking for magazines/books articles, archives and/or technical information from the Celicas which were developped under the GTU rules, firstly by George and Mike Follmer (1981), then by the Kent Racing team (1982) and finally the Dan Gurney's team . |
