it will be also broadcasted live at official gt webpage or am i wrong?

Speed-King · 15 Apr 2010, 08:34 (Ref:2673010)

Yes, and for all the Germans, both races will be live or near as live on Sport1 (aka DSF)...

Mopar · 15 Apr 2010, 08:35 (Ref:2673011)

Yes, the official page is streaming the race which doesnt bode well for Live TV coverage in the UK or Europe. However, over previous seasons there have been very last minute deals done with men and motors? in the UK. So i guess just have a surf of the Sky channels circa race time.

Looking forward to seeing how the Nissan does against the competition. Should be great racing when you see the caliber of drivers racing!

You guys and gals may want to visit 10 Tenth Chatroom for some talk during the race weekend, too.

Yakuncha · 15 Apr 2010, 18:30 (Ref:2673279)

Sumo Power GT fastest before balance of performace, but since I read that on their FB page it might be some good old fashioned propaganda

I keep forgetting to join it. With the GT Open on Sunday morning as well, it's going to be a fun weekend for GT buffs.
