Welcome to Round 5 of the Super GT Championship. Returning from the one week break following a very exciting race at Indy, our next stop is our first and only night race of the season at Special Stage Route 5. The night time only begins to highlight the difficulty of the track as its also a deceptively fast Street circuit with many sweeps and tight corners. Visibility is at a premium so drivers will to pay very close attention to their surroundings.

Love it! I will be there. --- Randy

 

[The_Boyce]

Not my favourite circuit but hope to make it.

 

[CAMikaze]

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but RACECAR had a power outage at his location and I was unable to get on to GTPlanet earlier. But I do have my Lounge open for anyone interested in doing some practice for Sunday's race right now.

As for Final practice, I'll be opening my Lounge up at about 2 PM US EDT or 1800 GMT for Final Practice on Sunday.

 

[CAMikaze]

My Lounge is open for Final Practice if anyone needs some time to tune their cars for the lace later on today.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Not going to make it, tired after my racing today.

 

[RACECAR]

I'm having connection problems right now (just 🤬 great) so I may not make it. Chris, you'll have to start the race for me.

Might as well not even count me since technically I didn't even start. Now its on to Suzuka for the Enduro.

 

[CAMikaze]

Now its on to Suzuka for the Enduro.

Stock up on the PowerBars and Gatorade.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Might as well not even count me since technically I didn't even start.

Which is why I put your ranking in parentheses and added the DNQ status

 

[RACECAR]

Okay, results are up. Obviously GT500 gets no look for points for obvious reasons, but GT300 is getting interesting. While I'm pretty much sure Lancer has GT300 locked up before we even reach High Speed Ring, battle for 2nd is heating up with CAMikaze and The Boyce tied. Also a few notes:

• Due to the disappearing problem I have heard and actually witnessed a few times myself, SSR5 will be dropped from next season's Schedule, replacement will be made at a later date.
  
• The enduro race at Suzuka will be on the Weather change course, it is still being decided as to if it'll have rain or just overcast skies.
  
• Success Ballist is currently under review
  
• Entry list for the Polka 1000 to be published May 23rd, the day after the championship concludes.
