CSR39: Chasing the Wangan Midnight!!!
The year is 1996 and times are tough for an up-and-coming JDM tuner. The market for hard tuned cars has dried up and all anyone wants these days is little more than a glorified wings and wheels package! However there have been rumours that a S30 Fairlady Z has been seen on the Wangan, a Zed so fast that no-one can keep up, a speed so seductive that anyone who sees it cannot help but try and match it’s pace…
Your role, should you choose to enter, is to build a car that can join the Midnight Club. You’ll be building a car that can exceed 300Km/h with ease that can also hammer down a mountain pass. The car needs to push every boundary of engineering so that no-one can doubt your integrity as a tuner but still be useable on the street. Your car needs to be timeless in it’s style as victory will ensure immortality but don’t be afraid to express yourself either!
