if JLOC has asked to lamborghini a thing like that is twice stupid
1. isn't lamborghini that builds the race cars
2. reiter is already busy with gallardo LP600 and updates about GT3 program, surely won't build a new car just because JLOC asked it, and i really doubt that will be built an aventador GT in next future.

MitchZ06 · 9 Sep 2011, 10:33 (Ref:2953083)

Aventador GT is likely, but it's more likely for FIA GT not JAF-GT300.

*HSV-010 is equipped with the full-flat bonnet.
*It seems that the swan neck of SC430 is delivered to Tom's(#36) and LeMans(#6).
*The side of front bumper of Tom's is "canard shape" like HSV.
*The front bumper of GTRs is equipped with the attachment.

They want to race by Aventador. They asked to manufacture GT3 spec(!) Aventador to Lambo. However, it is unlikely to be realized.

An Aventador would be overkill in GT2, let alone GT3. And I cannot see a GT2 car or even a GT1 Aventador being built. Not happening unless they build it themselves. Maybe they should wait til the replacement to the Gallardo comes out, Reiter will probably build something with that.

Have any of the teams running Japanese (GT-300) cars commented on the 2012 regulations? I would be interested to hear what they think.

Almost all teams think that 2012 regulations are "too radical".
I think it is impossible to exclude all old cars next year.
Unless next JAF-GT300 regulations are decided, no team can determine a next car planning.

Cars Tokai/Mooncraft(#2):Shiden or MR-GT3(They say team owner likes MR car.)
Team MACH(#5): GT3?
JimGainer(#11): 458GTC or 458GT3(!)?
Tsuchiya(#25): GT3RSR (They say that GTA said that GT3RSR could participate for three years.)
TAISAN(#26): ?
ARTA(#43): ?
A-speed(#66): ?

*About 2012 SGT calendar.
Since Sepang round overlaps with the schedule of Le Mans, the schedule will be changed.
Although the schedule of AUTOPOLIS round overlaps with the schedule of F1 Japan round, GTA is going to talk with JRP and Mobilityland(Suzuka).

So a 10% increase in performance for GT300 FIAGT3 machines next year? How about the JAF GT300 machines? The same?

No, 10% performance "decrease"

Is AWD allowed at all in SuperGT? Just wondering as the 08 Subaru Impreza GT300 car in Gran Turismo 5 has AWD.

So it was just the 08 Impreza that was AWD? (in real life not Gran Turismo) Interesting...The Legacy raced currently is RWD is it not?

MitchZ06 · 11 Sep 2011, 04:55 (Ref:2953717)

What's the regulations regarding small manufacturers and homologation? Seems someone could produce a small amount of AWD V8 powered prototype style coupes and run rampant in GT300...

That is quite interesting. I never knew the Subaru was ran with AWD, I always assumed that AWD was banned and the car raced in RWD. Any reasons as to why the team first used AWD and then switched to RWD?

TF110 · 11 Sep 2011, 05:42 (Ref:2953722)

AWD isn't as strong as some would suggest it seems. It probably adds weight, might increase tire wear as well? Just guesses.

My thoughts also, Im not sure why they would've kept the AWD in the first place unless it was a marketing thing as the Legacy roadcar is AWD.

GT500 race won by Cerumo as they overtaken Sard's Lexus in very stage stage.And Iguchi has spun on the last lap and dropped from 2nd to 8th.Does derbies from Tom's wrecked car make Sard Lexus tyre problem?

GoodSmile's Z4 has a comfortable win despite their air intake diameter get smaller and overtaken by tsaian porsche in 2nd lap,it got puncture few corners as the result of wheel to wheel with Z4.GSR Z4 has take the championship lead while points leader Jim Gainer Ferrari got puncture.

Unexpected winner, but still a Lexus!

Interesting race.

Like the livery on that Z4 hahah.

Too bad the D'Station car fell back. They were just off the pace? Only time they appear on the video is at the start.
