IMSA GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) Championship Lime Rock Park - 1990

The Toyota Trucks Lime Rock Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park was the eighth race of the 1990 IMSA GT Championship season. Following a season-opening win by the No. 61 Jaguar XJR-10 team at Daytona in Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), the No. 83 Nissan Performance team rattled off four consecutive wins before the No. 99 All American Racers Toyota Eagle broke through at Heartland.
Who would go on to win at Lime Rock? Watch the race to find out.

I was here for this! This is my first racing memory and boy did it set that bug in me! I was just at the track TODAY with my kids! It was my Father's day gift and the first thing normal since well 2020 obviously. Cool memory from then, today, and all the times in between. Such a cool track to watch from you can literally walk the whole track and watch every turn, straight, and chicane 20 feet from the track at 75% of it. Really only the front stretch being the furthest from the track and you can view it from so many angles to make up for the distance.

They are having a Historic GTP race in Long Beach this April! I’m going to see it in person I’m hyped.

"hey boss? looks like i'm taking a 2 hour lunch today.."

[@Reiderreiter]

I miss this era so much. The Eagle MkIII and GTP ZX Turbo will always be my most iconic endurance racing prototypes.

[@tommack8650]

Golden era of WSC racing. Nissan and Porsche w turbo 6 cyl, Toyota w turbo 4 cyl, Chevy V8, and Jaguar V12! All analog, no driver aids, pure racecars. Now racing in the Labor Day classic races.

[@Glibzer]

Sure a turbo 6 in the nissan? Iirc the r90c was a 3.5 v8

[@joshua9941]

I'd watch motorsport on TV if this still existed, bring it back pls

[@purwantiallan5089]

Never forget these historic races in IMSA.

[@green1300]

Love lime rock! Go twice a year,going back July. Sometimes they use the chicane and sometimes no,depending on the race I guess,love seeing the mustangs and corvettes get their wheels off the ground when they’re not using it😎 Great vid,Thanx

[@franzvonriedel378]

THANK YOU for posting these GREAT Vintage Races! And THANK YOU for not spoiling the ending in your description 🙂
If you (or anyone else!) have any GT races from 1983 - especially the one at BIR (I don't know if it was even filmed) - I would be very grateful if you post it/them. THANKS AGAIN!

[@theflagstand]

Didn't dare to read the description until after the race, but thanks you very much for not having spoilers in it! This one was awesome.

Nice, thanks IMSA!

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

That heat plume coming off the toyota down the straights is just insane. I think it melted the air as it raced along 😆

39:00 He survived with just some cuts and bruises... Umm his face is also half melted from the fire.

[@chrisamon4829]

iirc the burn scars were from a previous wreck. I don't think he would have returned the next day (as they wouldn't just be scars overnight), do you? ;)

[@PeterKKraus]

You Cut is a much better app for old videos. It keeps 4:3 without filling in 16:9 with black or this nonsense.

[@DrKuryakin]

Would love to see a full race with the peugeot 905

[@chrisamon4829]

Why would they? The 905 never raced in IMSA....

[@chrisamon4829]

Perhaps you meant the Sebring and RA Peugeot/Audi battles in the ALMS? (and WEC, or whatever it was called back then, of course)

[@DrKuryakin]

@@chrisamon4829 i dont know what all these styles are called :D started watching these vids recently
All i remember is the 905, had a poster of it too haha
