STORY

Toyota's Group C program spanned the 1980s and early 1990s sports-prototype era, developing the C-V series of turbocharged endurance racers with Tom's and later TMG. The cars competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the World and Japanese sportscar championships, chasing Toyota's first overall Le Mans win. The effort culminated in the 3.5-litre TS010 before the category's demise.
