Japanese Super Taikyu Series 2015
I thought that instead of periodically spamming things to the 'Lower Leagues' thread about this series - the Japanese Super Taikyu I've lately been starting to follow from distance - I could just have a thread of it's own for the season. It's a small series not particularly geared for audiences (which you can probably tell here ) and it slots waaaay behind the headliner domestic series a la Super GT and Super Formula, as well as some other smaller series, but it's still quite interesting if you like long distance + multi class racing.
Today Super Taikyu has six classes of machinery, the fastest being ST-X (essentially GT3) followed by ST-1 all the way to ST-5. The lower you go the less it's sports cars and more stock-room touring cars. Upper classes tend to have only few entries while back of the grid booms. As for speed, ST-1 has around GT4 level of performance or lower, so... This year's entries should be announced some time in February. 2015 calendar RD0) Mar 1 / Twin Ring Motegi TESTING RD1) Mar 28-29 / Twin Ring Motegi 5 Hours RD2) May 23-24 / Sugo 3 Hours RD3) Jul 4-5 / Fuji 8 Hours RD4) Aug 1-2 / Autopolis 3 Hours RD5) Sep 5-6 / Okayama 3 Hours RD6) Oct 24-25 / Suzuka *TBA* The only clash with SGT&SF is between Sugo and Super Formula at Okayama IIRC. Fuji round used to be 7 hours but has been extended Series PR is not great to put it mildly and is only in japanese. The only sensible video coverage I know of consists of around 15 minute recap reel the series uploads to youtube weeks later. So don't expect anything fancy. https://www.youtube.com/user/SupertaikyuOfficial Even if no-one posts here I'll try something (when I make sense of their PR) during the season Last edited by Deleted; 28 Jan 2015 at 02:04. |
