I generally like throwback colours but the design doesn’t work here.

So, Nissan made a front-engined Skyline Group C car;





Being essentially a worked over JTGC Silhouette car it failed spectacularly. You think they would have learned but then 2015 happened.



Later, this much better Group C "Skyline" appeared;





Which would lead to their solid R-series cars.

I’m not sure what KCMG was trying to pull with Koba. This is one of the most attrition-heavy races in recent SF history.

The Toyota GT-One and the Dauer 962 are the most hilarious race cars because of how they took advantage of loopholes in the rules.

Super GT is still pretty cool.

It’s a very liberal silhouette formula. What I’m saying is bring back GTU/GTO and keep DPi.

LeMans 1994 was really cool in hindsight because it was basically a Formula Libre made up of cars from defunct series. Where else could you see Group C cars and IMSA GTO cars racing one another?

I’m hoping from a 1994 redux where everybody just brings whatever is lying around.

Yeah that's probably it. I've always found it strange that there are two Dunlops (In the east it's Sumitomo.)

Hell agreed. Remember back in 2005 and 2006 when it was just Audis versus Pescarolo that everyone was talking about how amazing Audi was so I'm assuming people are just being racist against Toyota. Very sad

In all seriousness certain people seem to get extremely angry when they win.

Also the MK3 was the only one that had any real success in its production form. The MK4 silhouette cars didn’t Even use the 2JZ.

track day bro! posted:

I'm pretty sure production car records, especially stuff like the ring laptime specify the car has to be road legal. These track only supercar things are loving dumb anyway, you never see them at tracks even at like high end TD's and more than likely they'll just get clowned on by someone in a Radical that costs a quarter of the price.

I appreciate that they exist.

Are the DTM cars running the SGT spec Bridgestones/Michelin/Dunlop tires?

Nein, all the Japanese cars are running the DTM spec Hankook tires. Nobody is using the DRS or push to pass gimmicks either.

Despite the advantage the DTM cars should have had the Super GT cars had the measure of them come race time.

The front engined NSX is strange but I think it must be done for ease of balance with DTM. Ever since the original NSX appeared it’s had to be nerfed considerably in order to balance it against the front engined cars.

So the Super GT champions (Team LeMans) are withdrawing from GT500 as they lost their support from Toyota. This also effects their Super Formula team as well, they are gone come 2020. I wonder what happened.
