[HKS racer]

All of them = Drool.
Very good looking cars I like them all.

 

[Mac K]

Motul livery looks fantastic.

 

[Koko Ban]

OMG. Please let that be the livery they race with!

That is literally the best looking race car I have seen in many, many years. New avatar, going on Twitter, everything.

I am speechless.

ARTA will probably go with the Fluorescent red/silver/black livery just like the CR-Z's though. :<

 

[BGT2011]

ARTA NSX and its fluorescent red canards.

I want one.

I'd also like one of these.

To me, the NSX just doesn't quite seem right without a roof air scoop, but I still seem drawn to them for some reason.

They look nice, just dont see the need for all the pointless aero. Shouldnt be on GT cars IMO, has nothingn at all to do with road car tech, its purely race performance. They would look better without them too

 

[Bo]

Just realised that Ralph Firman isn't racing this year.

WHHHHHHHY.

This is an absolute tragedy and should be treated as one. I WANT MY RALPHY BACK.

 

[nissman]

Cars look great! I'm still hoping for a GT500 car pack via DLC in GT6. That would be awesome!

All the aero parts is what makes me like Super GT and DTM. Without it, it would just be another gt3 series or something like that.

Why should the fastest GT cars in the world not have any aerodynamic aids? These aren't road cars, they're purpose built racing cars

 

[Tired Tyres]

Racing is not aero. Aero is not racing. Aero is responsible for turning racing into boring processional follow my leader rubbish pretending to be racing.

 

[Bo]

@Tired Tyres, the car you have in your avatar has aero. It was designed to have aero, otherwise it'd be nigh-on impossible to control and would frankly be a bit rubbish. The same story with any other cars designed from the ground up to race.

 

[nissman]

Check the sound on the new Lexus. Quite amazing.

 

[Bo]

Oh Lord that's beautiful

 

[Koko Ban]

you know, i just realized during the very first reveal of the 2014 GT500 machines the reason there weren't so much info about the Lexus car (especially no pics of the rear) and Lexus didn't bring the car on the first testing day for "unknown reasons" was because it wasn't actually an LF-CC based car. months later, when the RC-F was revealed, the 2014 machine was suddenly renamed from LF-CC to RC-F...

most likely reason is the GT500 machine is actually a "spoiler" on what the RC-F would look like and Lexus doesn't want us to notice that yet until the formally reveal the base car.

 

[TheLuigi755]

Here's a little meme for you...

 

[Bo]

That just sums up Nakajima racing

 

[Azure Flare]

While it probably will never happen, I would love to see the RC-F with a Castrol livery.

Or the GT-R in Pennzoil Zexel colors.

Slightly off-topic, but I also did see this in my search for that last picture:

Source for these.

And the NSX in whatever Team Kunimitsu will come up with.

 

[Bo]

ARTA baby!

And moar

 

[joetruckv8]

Watch This 1!



Hopefully this isn't a double posted video?,.

Here's a great article on DTM vs SUPER GT

Is it just me, or is the Nissan running a wider rear wing? I thought all rear wings must be spec?

It's you.

You're both right. Teams have 2 spec wings they can utilize in 2014. A slim wide wing for high speed tracks and a narrow double element wing for technical tracks.

 

[Bobby_GT6262]

Here is an example of a high speed setup for Fuji Speedway. Wide slim single element wing and a protruding front bumper with small canards.

 

[Bobby_GT6262]

Here is an example of a high down force setup for Suzuka. Narrow double element wing and a less protruding front bumper with large canards.

New Weider livery:



Dropping the AAA sponsorship, going for a simple Weider in design. Me likey.

I'm liking the new design also!
