The weather at Fuji is not very good today, it rain all day long but it is good to see that all 5 NSXs have made it to the top 10 SUPER LAP. This round is the last round of the series and the our lst hope are #18 TAKATA NSX or #100 RAYBRIG NSX. #18 TAKATA NSX still have 65KG onboard and it doesn't look like they have a good time today. Lets hope they can win tomorrow and get the race title for NSX for 2 years stright. Here are the Qualifying and SUPER LAP results.

Updated on 25-07-2008
On 18-07-2008, last year's Super GT champion driver (#8 ARTA NSX) Ito Daisuke was involved in a serious car crash when filming the new Hot Version Vol.94. From what I read in some japanese sites, the car that was wreaked was a R35 GTR. He'll miss out on Round 5 and 6 of the SUPER GT, Akira Iida will be replacing him for the 2 races. Some translated site are below.

[hisoka]

do they use launch control in this cars ? and what is the engine restriction ?

[sendok]

seems like sc dont like gtr, because there is no engine restriction yet?!?

[tseesinngwailo]

Thats dissapointing that the NSX has become front engined for racing, thats like allowing the v8 cars here in Oz to mid-mount the engine..

But that said, thank god someone started up this thread, i love the JGTC but dont get to watch it, anyone want to give me a site where they sell the dvd's to AU? or failing that som BT links? PM me!

[ARTA8SIMS]

Engine restriction @ 500hp for GT500 and 300hp for GT300
No ABS, no TCS, no carbon brakes.
Engine have to come from the same manufacture. Can put the engine in any position as long as it stay in the original engine compartment.
Weight limit at 1100kg min

[hisoka]

cheers mate, it looks like wakisaka is in struggle~but improving

[ARTA8SIMS]

He did well in 2006 but not in 2007.:p

Super GT Round 3 Fuji 500KM had just finished today. The Honda NSX-GT are doing good in Toyota's home track Fuji Speedway. The NSX finishs 3rd, 4th, 7th and 10th. The #1 ARTA couldn't finish the race due to some trouble with the car, they only done 76laps and miss the standard by 1lap so no point for the ARTA NSX in this race. That's a bit of bad luck. But overall the NSX-GT did some great job at Fuji today. Lets have a look at the race results.

[GTRVspec95]

Didn't the entire GT-R field get slapped with a 75kg weight penalty because they where all going too quick ?

[ARTA8SIMS]

I think the #23 Nismo GTR is the only 1 with 75KG. There Yellowhat GTR got nothing onboard and they still not good, same with the Calsonic GTR.

[GTRVspec95]

Had a look on SuperGT.net to see what the go was with the Xanavi NISMO GT-R after it's strong initial start to the year ...

Round 1 - Suzuka
- 1st
- No weight penalties
- http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0801/0801race.htm

Round 2 - Okayama
- 1st
- 50kg weight penalty
- http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0802/0802race.htm

Round 3 - Fuji
- 14th
- 115kg weight penalty
- http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0803/0803race.htm

Round 4 - Malaysia
- 13th
- 95kg weight penalty
- http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0804/0804race.htm

Round 5 - Sugo
- 14th
- 75kg weight penalty
- http://supergt.net/supergt/2008/0805/0805race.htm

The worst any competing GT500 team has received was a 60kg penalty the PETRONAS TOM'S SC430 was handed in round 4.

The heaviest any NSX team has received was the last round at Sugo with a 50kg penalty; otherwise they've carried only 30kg on average if at all.

I think the weight penalties have gone a bit screwy this year after the initial shock of the GT-R running so well in the first two rounds and the 115kg weight penalty was a knee jerk reaction to this.

Round 5 SUGO GT 300KM
Updated on 27-07-2008
Here we are, the big race update. Good news first, #18 TAKATA DOME NSX came 1st in this round which will give them 20 points this race but they will have a extra 50KG of weight on the car next race. Bad news is #1 ARTA NSX was second until lap 61, crashed straight into the wall and have to pull out. It's very wet today at SUGO and there are few crashes around the place but overall it's a good race. Lets have a look at the highlights and the results for the race.

Here we are round 6 back at SUZUKA but this time is the 1000KM race. The Super lap was canceled due to bad weather, but it's good to see that 4 NSX made it to the top 10 in qualifying and amazingly the #18 TAKATA DOME NSX manage to get a 10th with 110KG onboard. They've manage to get ahead of 2 GTR that are carrying way less weight than they are. Hope that they all can do well tomorrow. Lets have a look at the results for the Qualifying.

Round 7 MOTEGI GT 300KM
Updated on 14-09-2008
Finally, ARTA NSX didn't let us down this time and they got a 2nd in the round. However the Yellowhat GTR was leading by 1.117 sec. Well I think the ARTA team did a good job this time. Epson NSX did good too, they got a 5th just 2.976sec behine the Yellowhat GTR. Hope they all can do good in the final 2 rounds. Lets have a look at the race results.
