So, to tie in with my previous post of some current Datsun race cars out on track, I thought I would post some awesome photo’s of historical Datsuns doing what they did best… Going fast and winning!! 😀
(Above: 1970 Fuji Speedway, Japan, Z432R)
Enjoy! 😀 (more after the break…) Continue reading
I had the opportunity to photograph the father and son duo of Seef Fourie Snr and Seef Fourie Jnr as they raced their beautifully built 160Y GX Coupes on the track.
Managed to take some lovely shots. 😀 Continue reading
You just can’t beat historical images like this one of a beautiful Fairlady 240ZG racing an RX-3 Savanna in Japan in the 1970’s… What a fantastic photograph! Makes me wish I was alive in those days…
If you consider yourself a Datsun enthusiast as many of us say we are, some point in time we have all lusted after what is arguably Nissan’s best piece of automotive engineering… And most definitely the best sounding engine they have made to date (not even an RB26 can come close to an S20 at full cry!)
Here are a couple of photos of some good looking S20’s… Man I love this thing… How is this one that is cutaway?? 😀
Things have been quiet here again for a while… So have a look at this stunning shot of an original Z432R at Suzuka in the early 1970’s…

Love this shot… A lineup of classic and iconic Datsun race and rally cars.
I really love coming across new photos from the archives of people that were alive in the best period of motorsports history… Its awesome! 😀
Just look at this sweet shot someone took of one of the Bob Sharp Racing 240Z’s in a heated battle out on track…
This car is currently the most amazing Datsun that currently resides in South Africa, and the fact that it gets shared with everyone out on the race tracks makes it even more awesome! Built by the father and son team that were featured here last year in this post, this car has exceeded my expectations through and through! 😀
This is just an overview of the car, as I plan on doing a more in-depth article on it in the near future…
This here is one of the most successful racing cars that has ever raced in South Africa. Built by Hennie van der Linde in 1983, this stunning piece of automotive engineering has dominated the South African circuit racing scene, and now continues to do so in the ownership of Dick Sorensen, himself an accomplished racer that drove a variety of Datsuns back in the 70’s and 80’s, one of them posted earlier here, and his son Richard.
Here we have one of the best looking Datsun race cars in South Africa that has one of the most stunning colour schemes I have ever laid eyes on, a 1970’s B210 160Y GX Coupe. The car is owned by Seef Fourie, and was built by him as a replica of the original B210 race cars that were raced here in South Africa in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, of which there are photos in this post.
Dattosan Kureiji!
