The Toyota MOMO Corse Apex MR2 GT (JGTC) '99 is a race car produced by Toyota. It only appears in Gran Turismo 2. The car is the #25 driven by Morio Nitta and Shinichi Takagi, who achieved 1st place in the GT300 ranking of the 1999 JGTC season with Nitta, and 4th place with Takagi.
Both drivers would later go on to win the GT300 Manufacturers Championship for Toyota. In early versions of GT2. The JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Championship) [1] was established in 1993 [2][3] by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) via its subsidiary company the GTA (GT Association), replacing the defunct All Japan Sports Prototype Championship for Group C cars and the Japanese Touring Car Championship for Group A touring cars, which instead would adopt the supertouring formula.
Seeking to prevent. Anyway, the SW20 MR2 had a short, but fairly successful racing career in the Japanese Grand Touring Car championship--finishing 1st in the GT300 in '98 and '99 before retiring to make way for the MR-S. Below is a link to pictures of the '99 car.

Re: JGTC SW20 MR2 by Malcolm Mon Mar 27, 2017 9:52 am To clarify, I meant the engine in the standard SW20 looks like a 503e. Here's some of my stash of photos of the same engine. Once again, the MR-2 became an double champion with a single victory, despite of Nissan NISMO Silvia S15's 4 victories.
In 2000, the SW20 was replaced by ZZW30 which would obtain more three GT300 championship titles to the Toyota heritage with ARTA (2002), Team Reckless (2005) and Toy Story APR MR-S (2007). The blue livery has some differences.
