Hi every one,
My name is Brian and I manage the new MKT sector for GT open and F3 Open.
I tought that it was a nice idea to join this forum and inform you directly here about the news regarding this championship and answer your questions directly if required.
Regarding the season I'm happy to inform you that we will have
4 manufacturers directly involved on the championship on SuperGT,
Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin and Lotus.
We will have a stable grid of 30-34 cars, and
we won't accept more
Six new cars are expected to start from next race in Nurbunrging,
including some nice surprises.
Weka Racing unfortunately will not compete during this event has the teams hasn't got enought time to recover the cars from the last weekend races in DutchSupercars Championship.
Regarding Web streaming you can watch for free the races without any geo-block here
