Episode 1 (1986 - 1992)

Although it was 1981 that saw the introduction of the turbo entry into The Great Race with the Nissan Bluebird, it was not until 1988 that a turbo-charged machine came to the flag in the No 1 position. From this point on, The Great Race has been dominated by turbos, in particular the Sierra RS 500’s and in the latter years by the sophisticated fore wheel drive, twin-turbo GT-R of Nissan.
