[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.

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.

Uhmmm I'm wondering if there is any schedule of 2008 Super GT? It should already round 4 now am I right? I've tried to find in Youtube but not good video cover founded.

[ARTA8SIMS]

round 4 was updated ages ago but the title for some reason won't update.
