In period/“vintage” ITR photos?

[L1MTD]

I’m in the process of getting prints for my garage/shop. I collect Ducati’s and found some fantastic period race and development photos of the 888, 916 era but would love to find similar for the ITR. Specifically JDM photos as I have a JDM ITR that is also in the shop.

I searched eBay and general Google searches and came up empty outside of some pamphlets or brochures.

Does anyone know of a source for anything like this?

I wouldn't limit to JDM, but I understand as it matches the visual front end of your car in your garage.

I've/we've learned from peers in this community how significant the European race teams were towards the development of the DC2 ITR and later, the importance towards bringing to the US. It's truly a shame we didn't have better TV/internet coverage from the endurance races in the late '90's and early '00's.

Peter Brock (yes, that Peter Brock) comes to mind for a book of his photos capturing the ITR running in Europe. His website, BRE, offers reprints of photos and posters. Not, I've never ordered one, but I've seen first hand his work in his photo books owned by a community member:

There are some quality posters/prints from Realtime Racing who championed the DC2 (and other models) in what was the Speedvision World Challenge, alongside DC Sports, King Motorsports, and others, here in the US. There were four total Realtime Racing poster prints, 3x with ITR's. Eibach also released smaller print(s) featuring Realtime Racing ITR's.

There were also a number of US Acura dealer posters. I own the '97 print but I believe there were more but I'll allow others to chime in with details. There were also dealer brochures for '97, '98, '00/'01. Many have acquired 2x of each and created framed prints.

Bridgestone also had a series of posters in this timeframe, I own the blue R34 and the white ITR.

King Motorsports Unlimited also had a race print featuring their ITR & DC5 that were championed here in the US.
