    FrenchFry asked me to stockify a Toyota GT-one, so I took the conversion by The Me and Me and gave it some much needed love. Skarma was interested in paramising it, and gave it Super-Pro levels of performance - it's not your average mid '00s railer though! Not that bad through bumps, but it has a somewhat wide turning radius: lightly brake when you need to, and it'll fly through the tracks with ease. Name suggested by FrenchFry. Custom engine sound from Gran Turismo 2.

    Trivia: Kazuki Nakajima is one of Team Toyota's racing drivers.

    EDIT Mar 15, 2022: a much needed redux of this car finally sees the light of day.
    - The model was completely remapped to allow maximum freedom in repaints, and a new PSD paintkit comes in the archive. Wheels also got remapped to remove the rim from the inner face.
    - Shading, lighting and details by Paperman, baked onto the new map and rearranged by me.
    - My remakes of the 1999 GT-one livery, the "stealth model" from Gran Turismo 4 and the original Nakajima paintjob are bundled in the archive, alongside the recreation of the RC de Go livery by Paperman.

  1. Talk about misinformation..I thought the Nakajima wasn’t good off-road. in the past, maybe. But after further review..the Nakajima is stronger than I thought.

    This car doesn’t steer as well as Hoshino, but it is MUCH MORE STABLE. It can still lose control due to being a RWD car, but it is somehow much more forgiving. Much more so. I dare say, this is of many RWD cars, one of the most stable driven. There’s a reason this car has a cult following in the online community as this is part of the I/O packs.

    The model, the paintjobs – even the engine thrown as a bonus – Wow. This car is a major winner.

    Minor points deducted on the parameters though, some bumps or jumps…the wheels travel through the car, not always though. Might want to fix that. Other than that – works perfectly fine. A serious contender, and a keeper.
