History

The P-3 was the first Daihatsu race car and it featured a 1.3-litre straight-four engine fitted in the front of the car, which was capable of producing up to 100 hp (74.6 kW; 101.4 PS).[1]

The P-3 made its competitive debut at the Japanese Grand Prix in 1966, which was held at Fuji Speedway, where it won the eponymous P3 category.[1][2] It was also entered in the 1000 km of Suzuka in same year, where it did not finish the race.[1] The following year, it was then run in the Suzuka 12 Hours; the No.6 car won the P1 class, and finished fourth overall.[1][3] The P-3 was succeeded by the P-5, which was more powerful than the P-3.[4]
