Ooo! Thanks! I do have a few of his Taurus from Motegi, but not this particular one. I'm 90% certain that yellow, black and white decal right in from of the rear wheels is on the '97 car as well - but I still don't know what it is! hah.even though it's Motegi...it could help
glad I could help....and if you do 1996 I have pics of every car that raced there in 1996Ooo! Thanks! I do have a few of his Taurus from Motegi, but not this particular one.

I know his '97 hood is just the Coca-cola logo and the 'Oliver' text. I can tell the just below the side windows and above the wheels is most likely the logo for SMS Motorsports..... but I don't know what that looks like yet! I know he has Eibach on the C-pillar, Oliver and Unitog on the rear quarter. But the rest of those teensie secondary sponsors is a toss up.
I'm sure i saw another logo above the thunder special suzuka logo, or you can't identify it?The coup-de-grace. The car that I am singularly most proud of out of this entire set of cars. Yes, these are the actual Japanese sponsors and I had help finding and verifying them from a co-workers significant other. They include: Imuraya (a food and confectionary producer), Two Imuraya products, CoroCoro Aniki (a Manga publisher), Tamiya (Models and Hobbies), and Gunbluster XTO (a line of small RC cars produced by Tamiya).
