S2 Ep6: How Japan Embarrassed the Racing World
byDonut Media

For decades, the world saw Japanese cars as just efficient, economical daily commuters. Then the 1990s hit, and Japan unleashed a lineup of obsessively engineered racing monsters that completely stunned the established European and American giants. Backed by the limitless budgets of the nation’s economic “bubble era,” Japanese engineers were given the ultimate green light to overbuild their machines without worrying about the cost.

From Subaru and Mitsubishi conquering unforgiving rally dirt, to Mazda’s unbreakable rotary engine surviving Le Mans, and Nissan’s R32 “Godzilla” destroying the Australian touring circuit—Japan didn’t just show up to compete. They took over.

Discover how these manufacturers stopped being seen as the “optimistic little brother,” rewrote the racing rulebooks, and became the ultimate global benchmark.
