Bobbeh Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 btw: When did they stop calling it JGTC and to Super GT? I guess when they started taking it to the USA and Malaysia they had to rename it for more international appeal? Good showing for the Supras!

Bobbeh Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 They pack V8s dont they the Supra JGTC cars? Yes they use V8's, moving from the 2 litre turbo charged 3SGTE, MR2 engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I watched the full race on MOTORS TV yesterday.... the Nissan 350Z (or fairlady as they call it) was pulling away at the front for most of the race until he damaged a rim and also what looked like his suspension. This left the path clear for two Supras to come storming through. Its a shame now that they are turning this championship into a World series that they don't have any rounds in the UK..... being the home of world motorsport I'd thought it would be one of the first places to put on a world tour. It would attract a huge crowd I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would attract a huge crowd I would have thought. They're going where the money is, DTM is too popular in Europe for a start, so Asian (malaysia) and the west coast of the USA are good places to launch the sales offensives from Japan.

dangerous brain Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Comeon though i reckon you could easily fill silverstone with that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 The rename took place this season. I hope they get it over here in the future, it would be great to have the fastest GT series in the world on our shores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O' boy, I'd buy tickets to see that show GT/JGTC Supras flying round silverstone would be sooooo cool, We could organise a club event on the race day (....wake up Ed, It ain't gon'a happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 They don't really have much in common with a Supra road car though, or do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 There would be soooo much interest over here. i am positive that there is a bigger jap car interest and enthusiasm level in this country than there is across the whole rest of europe. We Brits are just as nutty about our machines as the Yanks are. OK we don't all have huge workshops to pull the things apart in but hey we would if we did.

Sharpie Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I can't see a round here in the UK, more like Germany for the whole of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
