Remember that Castrol Mugen Accord racing mod from GT1 & 2? Well, it's based off a real race car and this is it. The Castrol Mugen Accord was a competitor for the 1996 & 1997 Japan Touring Car Championship and won both championships. It had about 15 consecutive victories in all for the 1997 championship. It would be great to see this make a return to GT and I especially love the livery.

Update, I managed to find more specs about this Touring Car. It turns out that Honda's racing website features it. you may click the link at the bottom of the OP if you want to read more. Note, the text is in japanese since it's a japanese website.
