Although it was 1981 that saw the introduction of the turbo entry into The Great Race with the Nissan Bluebird, it was not until 1988 that a turbo-charged machine came to the flag in the No. 1 position.
From this point on, The Great Race has been dominated by turbos, in particular the Sierra RS 500's and in the latter years by the sophisticated four wheel drive, twin-turbo GT-R of Nissan.
1992 has seen the last victory for a turbo, as they are no more.
The generation of this complex technology has now passed and with the reintroduction of the V8 car we have seen The Great Race turn a full circle.
This video features highlights from all individual races in one action-packed release during the Turbolent Years.
