ZCG will be racing and supporting nine vintage Datsuns, see below for a preview and event schedule. It’s already shaping up to be a Nissan/Datsun fan’s dream like the 2018 RMMR :

Z Car Garage Racers

Here is a preview of vintage Datsun race cars we prepared and dyno tuned for the Rolex event. Volume up and enjoy that L-Series music!

 

Group 9

Peter Gregg Trophy (1973–1981 IMSA GT, GTX, AAGT, GTU and FIA)

Rob Fuller will pilot the #49 Joel Anderson IMSA GTU Datsun 240Z. You might recall the story behind this special, 1972 IMSA GTU 240z as it was owned, built and raced in the 70’s by none other than Joel Anderson. ZCG restored #49 back to its former glory and it debuted at RMMR 2014. John Morton would drive #49 at RMMR 2015.

With an impressive field of 48 historic sedans set to be exhibited and raced, fans can expect a spectacular showcase of vintage touring car competition.

From the paddock to the corkscrew, it’s sure to be an unforgettable celebration of motorsports history.

The Corky Bell Trans Am 510

Rob Fuller will be racing the Bell 510. Famed engineer and race car driver Corky Bell ran this Datsun 510 in the early 70’s Trans Am series. Z Car Garage restored it back to its former glory with Trans Am livery and Corky drove it for the first time at the Velocity ’23 event. We will dedicate a separate blog post to the restoration and Corky’s story. Here are a few photos of the car during the revival:
