Several of Tommykaira's custom cars have appeared in the Gran Turismo[3][4][5] and Forza Motorsport[6] racing simulation video game series.However, from 1988 onwards Tommykaira began to exclusively work on automobiles made in Japan, establishing successful contracts with manufacturers Nissan and Subaru.On the other hand, the rebranding process carried out by Tommykaira has evoked some controversy directly related to the status of the company as a car manufacturer.By 1996, Tommykaira had solely modified pre-existing models manufactured by Nissan and Subaru; nonetheless, the heavy improvements worked out by the company on the cars made it gain recognition as a brand in its own right.The brainchild of Mike Wyckoff and GTS, the club, also known as TKCI, celebrated its launch in fall of 2020 and official first-year membership was 2021.
