Nissan started making Group C cars in 1983.

\nIn the 1991 season, K. Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki (Calsonic) easily won the Driver\u2019s Championship with 5 wins in 7 races. In 1992, the same team notched up 5 wins in 6 races (the other going to YHP) in a splendid defense of their throne. This is what led to Nissan taking the double title \u2013 Constructor\u2019s and Driver\u2019s Championships \u2013 for three years in a row, a glorious achievement.<\/p>\n
