The same VIPBOX link you watched back on Page 29 at Suzuka, it was also up for Sugo. Did not notice that you guys had also found it. Just checked VIP box and it appears Autopolis will be streamed this weekend!!

http://www.vipbox.tv/

Just go to motorsports section for schedule.

Ah Ok. I thought you may have found a different link and that could be useful in future.

Except Qualifying

I really wouln't like to miss qualifying in this last two races, it will be tense.
Already sent them a message requesting a stream. The more people do this the higher the probability they listen (I hope!).

But I would already be a happy man If I can watch the race live!

Good Smile Racing (#4) will sell BMWZ4 GT3 for next season.
We can see next car in next season.

TF110 · 29 Sep 2011, 18:02 (Ref:2962615)

Anymore information on next year's regulations for gt500? We know carbon brakes, -50kg minimum weight, restrictor size increase. How about hybrid power? LFA? New NSX? Anything about this you have heard?

BBSB · 29 Sep 2011, 19:28 (Ref:2962655)

Well the only thing certain is no new NSX or LFA.

Japanese Samurai · 30 Sep 2011, 09:32 (Ref:2962862)

Let's wait for the Sunday press conference.

Team Studie (partner of Good smile racing. #4) announced that they sell BMWZ4 GT3 after the end of this season "for the next step".
Studie is BMW dealer/tuner. So next car will be BMW car, too.

Yet there have been reports saying the LFA will be used possibly next year or 2013. So where is your information from? Honda have said the next sports car will be hybrid power, but when is the question.

I thought you were asking about "next year"!? It's a no brainer there will be no LF-A or new NSX for obvious reasons. The new rules come in 2013 so one shouldn't expect Toyota to build a new car just for one year. Where are those reports that say the LFA could be used next year? Maybe I missed them.

The new NSX (if we can call it that) doesn't even exist in prototype form yet. And the car would need to be released to the streets first. It will be a looooong time before the car comes out (Heck, they have been promising a new NSX since the late 90's

).

TF110 · 30 Sep 2011, 21:22 (Ref:2963228)

True, though I thought my post brought up the future? I guess it was vague but thats what I meant. The NSX thing kinda sounds funny, until you take a look back and recall the 'old' nsx SGT testing a hybrid system a while back. Seems concrete enough hybrid SGT could be in the future, coupled with these rumors, and the tests, it makes a little bit more sense.

godlameroso · 1 Oct 2011, 02:29 (Ref:2963317)

Well if Porsche can make a hybrid version of a GT3 car that can beat current GTE cars, then Hybrid power can't be all bad.

*Michilin day again. Quintarelli has locked brakes at 1st corner in Super lap(!).
*All SC430s have equipped with the swan neck except team Bandoh (#19).
*Team SARD (#39) changed the original rear end into the rear end developed by TRD.
*Team RunUp sport (#360, Corvette) crashed again.

*Legacy B4 (#62) have equipped with the lower attachment of rear fender. It looks like GTR.

The S-Road GTR is on fire. 1:39.6 for qualifying 1, 3 tenths faster than any other time. Amazing job.

Michelin tyres

And it would be a similar story in superlap if not for Quintarelli's lock-up's. I don't see anyone stoping them now (title wise), not even Wider HSV.

I sincerely hope the S-Road takes BOTH championships this year. Maybe this will make Honda think "what if... we followed Nissan and Toyota's book and had one of our cars on michelins this year?".

Next year ARTA HSV-010 michelin please

TF110 · 1 Oct 2011, 21:53 (Ref:2963874)

Well, maybe next year Bridgestone tires will be the better tire? You never know. I agree the S-Road will probably go on to win, unless there is a mishap this race.

FordCosworthPanoz · 2 Oct 2011, 04:33 (Ref:2964188)

Stream now on, should be a great race.

TF110 · 2 Oct 2011, 04:34 (Ref:2964189)

Watching it myself.

Thanks for the link guys. This is my first Super GT race LIVE.
Epic battle on lap 8

Almost a NASCAR style pack in parts of the GT500 field yet on a road circuit, fantastic racing. Must admit this is a little more exciting than Petit Le Mans, and I loved Petit.

FordCosworthPanoz · 2 Oct 2011, 05:29 (Ref:2964193)

Suprised by the pace of Ishiura in the DENSO Lexus so far. Ferrari 458 vs Corolla, gotta love it.

Yes I also watch Petit Le Mans today. It was good, but it was still lacking the punch. GT2 was great as always.

The Nismo GTR is catching the S-Road GTR for 2nd. And yes the DENSO Lexus is super quick. As loong as a GT-R win the Championship, I wil be happy. Nismo and S-Road GTR are the best shot at taking the title.
