@patina.research I’m from the generation that was introduced to motorsports through video games. Getting the Suzuki Escudo in Gran Turismo felt like unlocking a cheat code, and I’ve loved this ridiculous car ever since. Now imagine the insanity of the GOAT, Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, driving the 1995 Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak. Twin turbocharged 1.6L G16A inline fours mounted front and rear, making around 900 hp, and weighing roughly 900 kg. Absolute madness.
