Qualifying session has ended! We've seen the GT300 cars for the grid tomorrow having four hybrid cars in front. Two Hondas (#55 ARTA pole, #0 MUGEN 2nd), one Toyota in 3rd and one Subaru in 4th. Meanwhile I was watching that, I was expecting the Subaru to have a pole position, but not bad for the ARTA CR-Z to take a pole.
At GT500, the Petronas TOM'S RC-F was faster than the other cars. At the 130R, after Kogure passed Quintarelli, he suddenly encountered an oversteering and spun out at the corner. Kogure's time was 1:55, 7 seconds behind the polesitter. Over to the two Hondas (#8 and #18), Liuzzi and Makowiecki were improving their previous times until they got their best one. Liuzzi finished 5th and Makowiecki finished 7th. Not bad for Liuzzi aswell. |

How do people rate Caldarelli's chance of getting into a third Toyota at Le Mans next year if it appears - as rumoured.

very likely to me! and if toyota won't "forgive" lotterer to have dropped a super formula race to run in f1 my bet is that next year tom's team will have nakajima on #36 and caldarelli on #37.

Mooncraft's car is going to be a Lotus (or will at least look like one)... What I'd like to know is how much of a "fantasy look" a car based on the mother chassis can have. Does it need to be based on a current production model or could they built something more like an Elise GT1 with only some Lotus styling cues? |

On the other hand, will DOME make a generic prototype bodywork (ala DP) other than putting GT86 bodywork? I would like to see DOME making a GT300 version of the S103, but I don't think GTA would allow that to happen. |

A great step for RLM to cover a Super GT event. Now if only the GTA would be nice to stream their series... C'mon, one of their motto is "challenge from the world" unless they still use it.

Pictures on NismoTV on YouTube now, synched with the RLM feed.
Glad they're showing it, especially as the Nissans are nowhere near the front in either class! |

I was wondering if the GT-R are getting unlucky today due to Kondo Racing puncturing their tires most of the time?
