So the NSX will get a weight reduction to 1077kg minimum weight, additional front inlet, additional rear opening, added rear window opening, modified cooling on the intake and exhaust from Rd.4 @ Sugo. They apparently tested these new parts and such at Suzuka and the Keihin NSX led the timing sheets with a 1:49.282. http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=2&no=57995

So who do you have your ¥200 on this time?

I'm going to say a Honda on the podium in 500. Probably Weider, they've looked strongest along with Real Racing so far. For the win, it'd open between the Lexus' and Nissans.

In 300... GSR are always a safe bet... but maybe one of the Studie cars?

anyone watching tonight?

Absolute thriller! Keihin take 3rd, first Honda podium of the season.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

not a good day for my GTRs

Let's hope they can continue the good form.

ARTA down in the dumps again. No luck for them this season.

This I gotta see! When it gets posted on YouTube that is...

I was following from Twitter, but the last few laps made my feed explode

I would have made a attempt to watch the race live, but I had to be at work at 7:30 this morning.

Fuji quali results:

And I didn't think I'd be saying this anytime soon, but HONDA WHITEWASH!

Oh ARTA get a win for me please.

 

[Jonathan777]

Watching the times from Q1 it will be close in GT500.. Good to see the Honda-teams fighting back!
I'm putting my euros on one of the Lexuses though (Denso or Petronas).

Jdm-cars in top 4 spots in GT300.. I hope the Prius can finally capitalise on its earlier misfortunes!

Typhoon at Fuji. Doesn't appear any racing for a while.

Typhoon at Fuji. Doesn't appear any racing for a while.

So the race could be canceled?

 

[Jonathan777]

It sure seems as if they are going to race! Cars are on the startgrid and the Japanese national anthem is about to get underway!
Good fun watching everyone en may the best racer win

 

[MCNAGTROC]

NISMO in the lead!!!!

 

[SagarisGTB]

Safety car.

NISMO in the lead!!!!

Not for all that long, eh? A Yamamoto-Makowiecki pairing on Michelin tires is really not fair in wet conditions.

 

[aarror]

3 Wide at one point there, that was awesome! Totally understand the use of an SC, it's absolutely pouring there.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

yeah rain is making it very interesting if they can go back to green

 

[SagarisGTB]

Cars look like boats now. WEC or F1 wouldn't even be circulating at this point. Unlikely it gets restarted anytime soon.

Edit: As expected, a red flag.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Totally understand the use of an SC, it's absolutely pouring there.

That's what you get for building your circuit in the rain shadow of a mountain.

I'm surprised anyone thought it was a good idea in the first place. Any of my eighth-grade geography students could have told them that.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

Red Flag

will the cancel/postpone it? in Super GT how many laps to make it official

 

[aarror]

I was surprised they even started in the first place, surely they could have seen it coming. Especially as it was like this earlier in the day.

 

[SagarisGTB]

Wow, great great pass by Kogure on Kaneishi around the outside of 100R.

 

[Bo]

Honda win.

Let me repeat that:

Honda win.

 

[Jonathan777]

Quite a race it was!

And never thought i would say this, but my fellow countryman Bertrand Baguette has climbed up to the podium due to the Epson team its clever pitstrategy! Congrats to him!

 

[Bo]

The whole Nakajima team must be shaking now.

 

[GTPorsche]

First time I've seen an entire SuperGT race. That was amazing.
