I'm wondering what kind of crowds they will draw over there?

If anyone does watch the one-hour highlights telecast, keep an eye out for the crowd size and let us know, please...

Well , sportscar racing used to pull big numbers in Japan before , the interest was certainly there . I see no reason why it cant be successful again if its done correctly .

The Japanese love their sportscars !!!

Subaru_WRX_STi has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
shame no Live coverage of the 2 races on Eurosport, only the WTCC will have it, 500 kms twice, ins't too difficult to bring them live...

especially at whatever time in the morning - what exactly else are they going to be showing? Oh wait, repeats of their various football shows from last week, a repeated under 17's football game and the inevitable tv shopping. Surprise.....

Still, the highlights package inbetween the WTCC races seems decent; should make for a decent Sunday morning's viewing. Still think the ACO has shot themselves in the foot by not funding an RLM show though.

If JLOC wins GT1, I hope to god that they show up at LM to actually race instead of whatever happened this year.

I just hope JLOC doesnt win at all. Go Larbre! Then they'll be at Le Mans next year.

Hats off to Cocker and Drayson, very happy for them.

They'd have to actually complete 1 lap first before they could think about winning...

I feel like it should be Larbre's race to lose in GT1.

How quickly people forget how lucky JLOC was a few years ago to rebuild a car and even complete one lap after they wrote off an entire chassis...

One bad year at Le Mans is hardly worth writing off years of JGTC/Super GT competition, including a win or two.

A bad year is writing off a chassis, rebuilding it and retiring early despite trying your best. This year, it wasn't a bad year, it was a year where they turned up without any intention or ability to race whatsoever. That's what annoys people.

Of course, they certainly can put a decent programme together if they so choose, but we won't know if they have before the race.

Do you really think they showed up at Le Mans with no ability or intention to race? Just because they struggled doesn't mean that was their intention.

J Sports in Japan is showing Sunday's race live from what I can gather, but I've found nothing about live coverage of Saturday's race.

Race has started, and it seems the Forme 996 is beached somewhere and the Hong Kong Aston is a lap down already.

I think Ma may be the reason the Aston Martin is so slow. In the time I've been watching he's dropped at least 15 seconds further behind the next closest GT2 car, the Daishin Ferrari.

And now Cocker's lost 3 laps with a long pit stop after leading from the start

Cocker's on a tear, he's the only driver in the 1:23s, the leaders are 1:24s and 1:25s.

First chink in the armor, Yamanishi's put the 68 Lambo down four laps somehow. Must have had a spin off somewhere on track.

EDIT: Now it looks like the 68 Lambo's stopped completely. Out of fuel maybe?

Check out that fuel tank on the BMW though! Last car to make a pit stop.

Well both cars completed one lap so JLOC should count that as a win and the other remaining car is leading GT1.

As I said, they're more than capable of running more than one lap, they run three cars in Super GT full season

The #69 that's leading is an ex-Reiter chassis so it's certainly a capable car. The #68 is the Super GT RG-1.

EDIT: BMW's come to a stop somewhere on track now

It was a headlight problem and had to be repaired (by ACO), then both quite, so they brought the car in did a pit stop and changed the nose. Did not fix the problem so they had to find and repair the problem, causing the loss of extra laps.
