So Motegi has been cancelled. Next Friday will be the penultimate round at SSR5. He decided to make both SSR5 AND Suzuka worth double points. So please show up for them.
How about just cancel SSR5 since suzuka is better and make suzuka quadruple points with no weight ballast for everyone? The grand finale! I'll be there tonight.

Special Stage Route 5 is one of the two night time stages in the Gran Turismo series. Based off of a highway, believed to be located in Japan that is notorious for illegal street racing, the course offers a handful of intermediate turns with a few advanced corners, as well as easy corners. The main straight is 997Meters long (.62 mile) as well enabling top speeds in excess of 310kph (193mph). Be prepared to slow down as there is a hard left handed roundabout after the straight. With 16 turns in total and 21 meters of elevation change, SSR5 is a great and challenging street course!

Designed as a Honda test track in 1962 by Dutchman John Hugenholtz, Suzuka is one of few circuits in the world to have a "figure 8" layout, with the back straight passing over the front section by means of an overpass. The circuit can be used in three configurations; the full circuit (which we will use), the "Suzuka East" and "Suzuka West" configuration.
The main straight measures 1.2km in length with 20 unique turns including the almost flat out, challenging 130R followed by the 2nd gear Casio Triangle. Can you conquer the technical Suzuka and stand on the podium in the land of the rising sun?

As I told Seth on PSN these races are too late for me now. I can drive about okay but I don't have the confidence in my concentration while drowsy. I'd probably wreck someone.
