Nissan started making Group C cars in 1985. At first a Nissan engine would be mounted in a foreign-made chassis (March Engineering or Lola Cars International), and entered in the WEC (World Endurance Championship) and Japan’s own endurance series. The R91CP, however, was entirely Nissan-made, and - driven by Masahiro Hasemi, K. Hoshino, and Toshio Suzuki - it captured the title in the 1992 Daytona 24 Hours, the first time that a Japanese team or Japanese car had done so.

This silver No.61 car was driven by Hideki Okada and T. Danielsson of Team Take One. Badged as 'Kokuyo, Take One, Nissan', it raced alongside other Group C cars in the All Japan Championship of 1992, the final year it was held. In the Fuji 1000km race, the car's second race since its debut, it succeeded in coming in 2nd. This machine was fitted with Dunlop tires because of sponsorship requirements.
