Nightmare.
Had the race on last night. Really perfect HD quality from YouTube via the PS3. Turned it off with 20 laps to go to watch the rest tonight. The video got pulled due to copyright infringement. Looks like I missed a grandstand finish. Doesn't bode well for the season. Do they always get pulled down? |

Not sure. The VIP website is pretty consistent with showing the races live though.

Absolutely fantastic finish. Lets hope the transition to the DTM style cars next year doesn't hamper their ability to get that close.

Theyll still have their unique tires. Hopefully they will allow some upgrades in-season in the future.

I'm also talking the rubbing on each other without the cars falling to a million pieces, haha.

As for the race, it was really good. For once, GT500 really put GT300 in the shade. The GT500 grid also looks really good this year: 15 cars and no ugly liveries among them (see 2011-12 Cerumo cars). Really like the improvements to the ARTA and Cerumo liveries, and the KeePer livery looks much better in Tom's hands. |

Well...SuperGT cars do seem to break bits of bumper/fender off semi-frequently...I guess the difference is they aren't winglets that are crucial to the cars performance, so they don't instantly become uncompetitive when it does happen

Theyre all carbon fiber so it doesnt matter if its tough just how it protrudes from the cars.

No news.
Sad news. According to Masataka Bandoh's tweet, it seems that South Korean round was postponed. https://twitter.com/MasatakaBandoh/s...40621967814656 |

Looks that organizing motorsports events in Asia out of Japan is really complex. We had cancellations in FIA GT1, Super GT, Asian Le Mans...

Was anyone able to watch super gt today on the vip site? It didn't work for me (firefox and IE) for the first time
It wasn't even possible to close the adds. |
