Dear lord, you couldn't contain the awesomeness. GT300 contains GT3 cars, and JAF GT300, like the Prius, ASL Garaiya, Vemac, Monncraft Shiden(rebodied DP), CR-Z, Subaru BRZ, and IS350. |

Mr Audi man? He should be making sure the WEC title isn't decided by whichever R18 has to do the least nose changes for failed headlights. |

Dear lord, you couldn't contain the awesomeness. Might not be too far off...DTM and Super GT are supposedly unifying their rulesets, unfortunately that may mean the GT500 cars will become to the same spec as DTM, not DTM turning into a european version of GT500. |

Unfortunately it seems those talks have collapsed. It included Grand Am too, but that was a while back and obviously isn't an option now. JLOC are running a Lambo in SuperGT. I remember being trackside at LM and it doing countless installtion laps as it destroyed gearboxes and clutches by the lorry load. They weren't too professional, lol. |

JLOC has 4 Gallardo GT3 cars registered for the series, haha. The Gallardo is a whole different beast than the Murcie GT1. Also, not sure if you can read French... http://www.endurance-info.com/version2/ ... 13430.html |

Oh so the talks are back up? Good. As long as it doesn't result in DTM rules being used in SuperGT. Allowing SuperGT rules introduces hybrids, which we know Audi is a fan of. |

I sometimes think DTM puts effort into being dull. |

The Germans want the Japanese to buy their chassis, while the Japanese would prefer to build their own. |

I have no idea what's going on in this race (because I can't understand the commentators), but it's still fun. I like the look of the Nissan. The Lexus not so much. I do miss the old Skyline though. Got a diecast of it.
