Endurance - Dome

Dome is a Japanese automobile manufacturer that is best known for its involvement in motorsports, particularly in endurance racing.

Founded in 1975 by Minoru Ohashi, Dome initially focused on creating race cars but later expanded into producing street cars as well. While Dome is primarily known for its racing cars, the company has occasionally ventured into the production of street cars, though these were always produced in very limited quantities. The most famous of these is the Dome Zero, which garnered attention for its futuristic design and performance capabilities.

Dome has collaborated with larger manufacturers such as Toyota in motorsports. Dome's expertise in designing and building high-performance race cars was utilized by Toyota for some of its Le Mans efforts. 

The latest iteration of Dome's racing cars, the Dome S103, participated in the 2010s, continuing the brand’s legacy of creating vehicles focused on aerodynamics, light weight, and high performance for the Le Mans Prototype category. Despite its relatively low production numbers and niche market focus, Dome is considered a key player in Japanese motorsports and endurance racing.

The company’s race cars have earned significant respect in the motorsport community for their innovation and engineering. The Dome cars' legacy is largely centered on Le Mans and prototype racing, as the company has consistently developed some of the most technically advanced vehicles in the sport.
