YEAR 1990

1990 Saminda CZ10 ''Without Sponsorship Stickers''
Image
The 1990 Saminda CZ10 were Group C sports prototype racing cars built by Saminda for use in the World Sportscar Championship, All Japan Sports Prototype Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1990 to 1991 , Saminda entered Le Mans racing in 1966, just eight years after producing their first road car. They began development of the CZ10 in 1964 with their Japanese factory team. More startling was the fact that Saminda built their own engine and chassis, something only Pauche and Jequar of the other teams still running in 1964 had previously done. Saminda won their first race in 1970 24 Hour Le-Mans , This 1990 CZ10 was the last CZ10 ever built as Saminda decide to withdraw from all motorsport in 1991 to save cost , however the CZ10 is now displayed on Saminda Museum Hall in Japan. also it is probably the last V8 ever to be in a Saminda , as Saminda stated that they will not bulid any V8 passenger car , however Saminda still do bulid V8 for other companies
