Thankyou! I thought they may have carried over the proven EJ20 turbo for reliability purposes but on the other hand thought they may have developed the brz engine for marketing purposes.

Mechanically the BRZ is very similar to the Legacy GT300. The GT86 thats going to race in GT300 by the end of the year though is totally different

I guess it's inevitable that the GT300 cars will be competing in GTC. On the other hand, I guess the ACO won't allow GT500 cars to compete in GTE since the GT300 cars can race at Le Mans in 2014.

Do all the GT500 cars use the same engine? They all sound very similar. Love that this stream has just natural sounds, no commentary.

I may have asked this already but why doesn't Super GT get broadcasted in America? It would only boost viewership and provide mroe exposure for sponsors right?

17 HSV-010 rammed the 14 IS350 into the gravel. IS350 is back to running again. Right fender/bodywork damage to the HSV, still running.

Edit: 39 SC430 comes to a stop on the grass outside/ahead of the pit lane exit.

Edit: 18 Weider HSV has a right rear flat. Still running and makes it to the pits. Rear right bodywork damage.

86 Lamborghini Gallardo is parked on the side of the pit straight. Seems to be moving very very slowly.

61 Subaru BRZ is stuttering, moving slowly at a reduced pace. Parks it.

911 Endless 911 pulls into the pits with what looks like rear left body damage.

I don't know either. Just saw that the car was in the garage. Unfortunately I don't understand Japanese.

Garaiya contact with the R8 results in left rear bodywork damage, still running and makes it to the pits. It's back out.

At the pace the triple a Aston Martin Vantage GT3 is going, it'll lap the entire GT300 field shortly.

The Raybrig HSV is running. Currently in 11th position in GT500.

Looks like it's 20 laps behind the leader.

EVA-01 Shinden has an off and drives into the pitlane and into their garage. Lifting the rear bodywork and having a look.

Engine might have overheated.
