Yes.
But AUTOSPORT say that this engine is not a scale-down version of VRH35(C-car engine).
Nissan have the policy of racing by using the vehicle based on the production car.
Therefore, there might have been a problem in the expression of "pure racing engine" not related with the production car.
Indeed, Kunihiko Kakimoto(NISMO) said that this engine is not pure racing engine.
However, it should be substantially called a new racing engine.

AUTOSPORT(print ed) says that this car is not a Daishin/KRH car.
However, it is uncertain whether this car is a new car or a used car.

#18 HSV is equipped with silver wheels.
Denso's livery is back on Team Sard(#39).
Thunder Asia(#365) didn't appear because of incompleteness of procedure.
There is a rumor that JLOC changed the tire supplier from Hankook into Yokohama.

Perfect day for Yokohama tires.
GT500(#24) and GT300(#7) double win with no tire changes!
HSV doesn't have a straight speed.
It is necessary to improve aerodynamic.

Wow, that was some hit into the tire bundles there on the first corner. Great to see the RX7 take out GT300 too.

Thanks!

Looks like this Nissan Page (have a look on the main page) are running some sort of coverage from the event. They've got a video up of final qualifying and sounds like they have a footage from the race. The cars look and sound incredible! Why cant we have this as the formula for GT1?

Because that would be too wonderful (albeit expensive ;-). I would love to see a GT500-styled Zonda, Maserati, Koenigsegg, Superporsche, Lamborgini, Aston One-77 etc. battle for the GT1 classes of the world...

Too much to dream...

Never really given it too much thought but using Spacefame/carbon monocoque chassis as opposed to expensive base cars is surely the way forward for the very top class of GT racing........I'll stop there, as this is a debate for another time and place.

Great racing, mega cars (the graphic design of the liveries is unreal) and decent factory support. SuperGT's getting quite an underground following and with the virtues of the Internet could be bigger than the GT1 category in the forth coming years!

This is an answer why the prototype car race is not needed in Japan.

Thanks for posting the highlights JS, that was fun. Is there a full race video available out there that you know of, or any time soon?

hmm.. i suspect that some teams are threatened by #365 thunderasia's participation. putting up roadblocks to prevent them from collecting points in the overall championship.. i mean, look at their racecar, it seriously has an edge to really win.. and they did take part last year in sepang, malaysia.. i guess, after that debut, it isnt too surprising.. afterall, they are the first foreign team in history to participate in an all-japanese competition..

Excellent video, caught the HSV wipeout nicely . Considering its not shown on mainstream tv in Europe anymore, we should be entitaled to see it by fair means or foul!

Well having been involved in a series that had Japanese input (a drift series a few years ago), it was clear that the Japanese are very protective of 'their' series, if ThunderAsia entered and were competitive other 'outside' teams might want to enter and this could ruin the series as far as the Japanese are concerned

I just want to say that this is a series that has piqued my interest ever since I saw the HSV released, and this thread - and Japanese Samurai in particular - has helped following the series much easier.

Many thanks!

EDIT: Where are the ThunderAsia team from?
