Datsun 1200 racing

Contents

Overview

B110 (Sunny, aka Datsun 1200) Japan Racing Concise History source: Sunny Owners Club.

Japan the premier class was TS racing (1300cc grand prix).

1970 Round Australia Trial

Sunday 5 July 1970 Ampol Trial at Alice Springs: Womens's prize won by Alison Parker and Carol Waldron crewing a Datsun 1200.

November 23, 1970 Fuji Speedway 200

B110 Brilliant Debut! All Japan Fuji stock car 200 mile race 全日本富士ストックカー200マイル

Although sales of the 2nd generation Sunny (B110) started in January of 1970, the racing debut was in the 1970.11.23 Fuji Speedway 200 miles race. "TS" class race is the 1300cc class.

It didn't seem much of a threat to the Mazda Capella rotaries and the mighty Toyota KE Corollas, but when preliminary round ends, a drastic reversal of fortune was hinted at. Suzuki Makoto marked the time of 1:42:28 and took pole position. The crowd at large still expected the factory Toyotas would have the advantage, as they had dominated the Sunny B10s (Datsun 1000s).

On race day, in the first corner is was Corollas, 1 2 and 3. However, on the last corner, the Sunny slipped in and it was all over. Victory for Sunny!

October 9, 1971 Fuji Master 250 kilometer race

Cherry X Debuts (E10 FWD series) 富士マスターズ250キロレース

For some reason the Cherry X A12 engine was tuned to a higher level than in the Sunny 1200. Rather than the Weber carbs in the engine, Lucas fuel injection (from the Skyline GTR PGC10) was fitted. This was reported to delivered more torque than the carbureted engine.

* TSA Class (1300cc) A12s were at 1270cc

In the rain, the Cherry X-1 went to head of the pack, with Suzuki's Sunny in 3rd nearly 30 seconds behind.
