Looking for information on the Japanese Domo Race car was it ever raced

Was the Domo Le Mans race car ever raced and how did it go ?
What engine did it use -I understand Domo Prototype show car used a 3.0 Nissan 300C engine but what about the race car?

Could you let me know what year ??

There were DOME racers, this was 1979 80 81 82 Le Mans amd they varied every year. None were very fast and usually retired early. If it is this car let me know as I can get further details

SL ! am looking for the period 1979-1982 ; the prototype production car came out in 1978 -on side note i wonder if a derivitive of the Domo race car was a BMW Specical called a Shiden 77 BMW -Why i ask is not only i am as a hobby a car magazine historican but i am also a collector of scale model toy cars . I recently purchased a model of the Shiden 77 BMW ;Its maker is Tomica scale 1/62 i have not got a photo of it but i would describe it as Group C type racer with a long tail rather like late 1960s Matra Le Mans racer .Is this a Domo type racer or some other relativity inknown Japanese Special like the Mooncraft

Sorry,

I have checked the Le Mans programme for 78. A magazine report for 79 & 80 to no avail. 81 & 82 info is a little scarce in by Le Mans box (82 was a year missed for me).

Have you any sponser details, race numbers, drivers etc etc.
