Toyota IMSA GTP MKII. 2.1 ltr turbo 4cyl putting out 600-750hp. The car made its debut at the 1989 IMSA Miami GTP race (car #99), but retired from the event with an engine timing belt malfunction.[5] The team concentrated its efforts on the #98 car; AAR would not enter the HF89 until the Lime Rock GTP race. The car then completed its first race with a 5th place finish at the following event at the Mid-Ohio GTP race. The HF89 did not finish any other races that season.
By 1990, the Eagle HF89 replaced the 88C, and chalked up its first win at the 1990 IMSA Topeka GTP event, with Juan Manuel Fangio II driving.[6] The team followed up with three more wins: Sears Point, as well as temporary street course races at San Antonio and Del Mar.[7]
In 1991, the HF89 won its final IMSA GTP race with the Fangio driving, at the IMSA Camel Continental VIII at Watkins Glen.[8] At the following GTP race at Laguna Seca, the Eagle Mk.III made its race debut with AAR, which would eventually replace the Eagle HF89. The final race for the Eagle HF89 was at the IMSA GT race at Portland, where it finished in third place.
