The JC Racing Championship is where drivers come to battle it out in 80's and 90's Japanese Sports Cars. It's fast, action-packed and most importantly, fun. Our aim is to get right back to the roots on Gran Turismo, driving high performance vehicles in the streets and on the track. If you're tired of driving racing cars you've come to the right place.
We will race on Saturdays at 3pm GMT Time.
Joining is simple. Put your PSN name down on this forum thread. Then, buy a car from the list below, change it's oil, Rebuild the Chassis and rebuild it's engine. No other modifications are allowed and the cars must run on Comfort Softs. After you have your car, tell us what it is so we can put it next to your name! If you have signed up for the races, please add 'TeamLotus_Eclat' on PSN to join the races!

The list above was drawn up after hours of testing. Cars were tested both on time trial and racing ability. While all cars tested were within 2 seconds per lap there may be slight discrepancies in performance, it is up to you to make the right choice based on power, handling and drive train. Please note that requests for vehicle tests will be declined. Thank you to Bakugekiki who originally helped me devise this list.

Tsukuba.
This is a starting ground for the championship. It is only fitting that a Japanese car only series starts in Japan, right? This track favours both Acceleration and Cornering as the turns are sharp. Also, the last corner is very harsh on tyres, so time your mandatory pit stop well.
Special Stage Route 7.
So we are leaving Japan via the highway, flat out. Why not make a race of it? Sure, The race may look boring, just going straight, but a lot of skill comes into this. You have to time the braking perfectly whilst bumper drafting with 15 other racers! Trust me, it's a lot of fun. People will only get time to do one qualifying lap, and whoever qualifies fastest will start at the back, and vice versa. This way, the fastest people will get optimum chance to slipstream.
Nurburgring GP/D.
The shortest variation of the Nurburgring track, but this is still a huge challenge, with cambered corners making lots of driver input required. Braking zones are misleading, as most of the time you are braking on an elevation change. Best overtaking will be done on the brakes.
High Speed Ring.
What a track. High speed mixed with flowing corners. This track is very easy on the tyres, there is little elevation and has a great pit lane exit. What more could you want? Not the hardest track on the calender, but maybe the most fun. We will have a rolling start to start this race, as we will be starting in rain conditions.
Suzuka.
So, we started in Japan at Tsukuba, and we're ending in Japan at Suzuka. Weather Variation is set to on, so bring your umbrella. It's going to be one hectic fight for the title! So, about the track. It's one hell of a challenge. Constantly changing direction with variations in elevation. Have fun!
