John Egan, Jaguar chairman, was keen to put Jaguar back on the map after being freed from the control of British Leyland in 1984 and felt that a return to sports-car racing would give Jaguar a much needed boost in international markets. Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) secured the contract for building the Jaguar race cars for the World Sports Car Championship and the IMSA races in the USA.

TWR Jaguar cars won the WSCC outright in 1987, 1988 and 1991 and won the prestigious
24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1988 and 1990.
