Bridgestone Super Cars
I believe this is GT racing, if not, feel free to move it to an approciate (sp?) section.
I heard this series existed, but I havent been able to track info down over the information. Perhaps anyone of you know more about it? Thanks alot in advance! Mark |

Do you mean the IMSA Bridgestone Supercars series that ran from 1991 to 1995? Here are links to the results and some photos.

There was also a supercar series that the Jaguar XJR 15 was built for that was sponsored by Bridgestone in the early nineties.

Probably the best bet would be racing magazines from that era. I also remember a car and driver article on it and road and track used to cover it pretty well. I think what killed it was problems with the rules and cost. Speed World Challenge GT would be a similar series to what the supercar series was back in the day.
I remember the Brumos Porsches being dominant with Hurley Haywood and Hans Stuck that first 2 years. I also remember Doc Bundy in a Lotus Esprit, Peter Farrell in a RX-7 and David Donohue in a BMW M5. |

The XJR15 series supported three GP in 1991 (Monaco,Silverstone and Spa).
Around about that time I was also racing in this Super Cars series. I'm guessing Cheyne is right though |
