Competition history

The Darrian T9,[6] later evolved into the Darrian T90,[7][8][9][10] is a purpose-built grand tourer-style race car, originally designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Davrian, since 1985.[11] It competed in the GT3/GT2 and GT1 class of the British GT Championship, with Swansea Institute Team Darrian (SITD) taking outright honours in the Privilege Insurance British GT Championship, in 1996.[12] Its modern evolution, the T90 GTR, has also competed as a rally car in various rallying events.[13][14][15]
