The 1992 Australian Touring Car Championship was a motor racing competition for Group A cars. Mark Skaife, driving a Nissan Skyline GT-R for Gibson Motorsport, won his first Australian Touring Car Championship.
In 1992, cigarette brand Winfield joined the team as title sponsor. During the season the governing body - CAMS, handicapped the GT-Rs in an attempt to bring it back to the field, which included upping the cars weight from 1360 to 1500 kg over the course of the year, as well as adding pop-off valves to the turbos to restrict power.
In spite of this and the team's year long claim that the cars were no longer competitive, Mark Skaife won the 1992 Australian Touring Car Championship, and then again teamed with Jim Richards to win the crash shortened Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst.
The model reproduced this successful and controversial racing car. Full Winfield decals are included with the kit but are not shown on the box art.
This Skyline model also includes a new chassis equipped with four-wheel independent wheel alignment adjustment mechanism. These four independent, stepless height and camber adjustment mechanisms allows modellers to set the car for ride height. This adjustability also allows the model to positioned in a realistic cornering stance. The interior cockpit reproduces the spartan racing equipment with roll bars and race seat.
Paint and glue required and not included.
