I will look for records after 1979 on new year holidays.

 

...I came here for the first time after a very long time.

Very useful, thanks. Japanese results are relatively easy to be found (in Japanese    ) but points standings not. I'm planning to include the super silhouette series on www.touringcarracing.net , great to have points for 1979. More years (and championships apart from Group A) are welcome!

[Herbert]

Thanks a lot for the 1979 point standings. You can find the race results on the JAF website. Unfortunately they do not have point standings.

 

I am very much looking forward to the standings of the following years.

[fndc]

A Happy New Year!

I have searched for championship standings on old magazines.

Reading through them,I reconfirmed machines of super silhouette series were very attractive.

 

Thank you for your post,Herbert!

[Michael Ferner]

...I came here for the first time after a very long time.

And very good to see you here again, Tooru! A very happy shinnen from Germany!!

[fndc]

I'm happy to your greetings,Michael.

 

Glückliches neues Jahr!  from Japan!!

 

Tooru

[Herbert]

Tooru, many thanks for your efforts.

 

Any idea about the point system used? For the early years it looks like 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-3-2-1. But that does not fit for 1983 as for example Masahiro Hasemi won four races but only collected 15 points in total. Or wasn't he eligible for points in all the races he partcipated in? Or did not all results count towrds the championship?

[fndc]

The point system is correct.

Super silhouette series was consisted of only 4 races.(In 1982,one of 4 races was cancelled due to heavy rain!)

4 races are all supporting events of Fuji Grand Champion series.

So 1980/12/6Tsukuba,1981/5/31Tsukuba,1981/12/6Tsukuba,1982/5/30Tsukuba,1982/8/8Fuji,1982/12/5Tsukuba,

1983/5/29Tsukuba,1983/6/19Tsukuba,1983/8/14Fuji,1983/9/18Sugou,1983/10/16Nishinihon,and 1983/12/4Tsukuba races

are all non championship races.

Hasemi won 4 races in 1983,but all his victories are non championship races.

 

In these days,there are many independent races in Japan. 

 

Frank,

I sometimes visit your excellent your sites.

Is it useful?

[Herbert]

Many thanks. That helps a lot.

 

So I have the following races counting towards the championship (Race no., date, track, winner, car):

I went to Tokyo Auto Salon and met with Nissan Skyline GT-R.It is very good condition.

I took pictures,but I can't post it here.I don't know why...

No GT-R model was represented in the 'Super Silhouette' series. The Hasemi Motorsport Nissan Skyline Turbo was a silhouette of the KDR30 Skyline RS-Turbo.

 

I can't post photos either, but (hopefully) here's a link to the Nissan Heritage website:

Thank you,PZR.

"Tomica"Skyline Turbo is not GT-R.

[Frank de Jong]

Brilliant!! Thanks to everyone participating, now I have to find some time to get it on the site.
