History
In 1989 Toyota's US motorsport head backed a move into the GTP category with the Eagle Toyota HF89. At the start of 1989 it was not ready, so the team also ran an ex-TOMs Group C Toyota 88C. In 1990 Juan Manuel Fangio II won at Topeka, Sears Point, San Antonio and Del Mar in the car.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
The identifying points are the honeycomb aluminium monocoque with side-mounted radiators, which give the car its chisel-shaped nose, and the carbon, Kevlar and Nomex body sandwich. The engine is the 2.1-litre single-turbo Toyota 3S-GTM four-cylinder, mated to a Hewland VGC six-speed gearbox.
