Who doesn’t love an underdog story? In 1976, a privateer team–not a factory-backed entry– won the IMSA GTU champion title with this very Datsun 240Z.

How did the team pull it off? The team's former driver Brad Frisselle explains.

This is why GTU was always the best class IMO.  Unsponsored but good teams could do well.

Yep, it’s an inspiring story. IRL, the car is super-clean, too.
