It they do, that leaves USA out in the cold.

Anyway, is there any weight differences when putting air conditioners on the cars?

This is the AD page of the GT Cooling System by NISMO. This page says that total weight is about 8kg.

Honda says that system weight of air-con is 5-6kg.

How do you figure that one? It may be the U.S. that will be a part of this series. At least I hope.

It probably has to be something to do with the American series or joint race in other countries (Brazil, China and India?). Otherwise why would GTA and ITR be still talking to each other?

You mean they want to plan a race outside of Asia and Europe? That would be awesome, but will Grand-Am take part?

"beyond DTM" must be "inter-continental" or "World" championship.

No news yet.
But according to Hideki Mutoh's blog,
He already finished seat-fitting. Shakedown test is performed soon.
There will be official announcement soon.

Ohh, finally... Now all it needs is the new NSX debuting on 2014 or 2015.

On the other hand, will the GT500 class add another manufacturer like Mazda or Hyundai?

So it's all because Tim Bergmeister is tending his wounds, or it's financial reasons?

Wasnt the car destroyed in Tim Bergmeister's crash? That'd seriously dent the team's finances. Sad to see this happen though.

Now if only NISMO can make a Leaf GT300 car... Oh wait, they already have the GT-R GT3 competing in the GT300 class.

But hey, at least the CR-Z will race this year!

hardly there will be good news about unification if german people won't understand that japanese people may also decide to fold their jaf spec to use dtm specs but for any reason they will accept to build their cars on german tubs...

uses the same rear wing structure of first hsv-010. Maybe rear side ducts need a better aero development...
