We´re just waiting on Sony to kick things up.
Think of it this way. If It´s postponed due to security reasons, we will be just like Formula 1.

Cheer up chums, because the real Super GT starts this weekend, with the (rescheduled) Round 1 at Fuji Speedway!
Lots of super sexy new rides being shown off for the 1st time:
GT300
(one day, Kaz. One day)
(yes, a Corvette in the GT300 class!)
(obligatory)
GT500
(your series champion, formally the Takata NSX)
(OUR series champion
)
(you may recognise this livery from GT5 as a IS350. Well, this year they have moved up to the GT500 class, and boy does it look good)
And of course, it just wouldn't be a trademark Mush post without a shot of his baby:

That would be fun. It is always a good time checking on GAF when watching soccer or F1 live.

WANT!
Beemer racing in a Japanese focused Japanese Manufacture event? Interesting. Even more interesting is the Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed livery looks a lot better than the (forgetting it's anme) Japanese livery.

The GT500 is all Japanese manufacturers and the cars there are specifically built for SuperGT, but GT300 has a lot of customer racing cars that you can find racing in GT leagues all over the world, like Ferrari and Porsche.
I don't normally follow SuperGT, but there was some talk that future regulations would be made compatible with the new DTM regulations which kick in next year. If that's true, you might soon see BMW, Mercedes and Audi in GT500.

Go Eneos! I bet they're a lot more competitive in the real SuperGT

If DTM and SuperGT had a mega merger that would be a hell of a series. Might as well throw GT1 in there. They are all somewhat similar. The GT1 Forg GT looks amazing. Hadn't looked at the GT1 series in so long.

As I understand it, it wouldn't be a series merge, but the rules for both would be similar enough to enable cars to run in either series. It would be great for spectators in both series because of the possibility of Japanese cars in DTM (which is lacking diversity ATM) and German cars in SuperGT. But the manufacturers are pushing for it (particularly BMW) because it makes it makes it possible for them to sell more cars and make more of a profit.
TheSeks said:
Yeah, I understand why it might seem weird, I used to think it was all Japanese cars in SuperGT as well until I took a closer look at the series and saw that GT300 was basically a "normal" GT league not dissimilar to countless others around the world.

Hey guys.
I don't know if brentech will be available this saturday, but I most likely will, even though I haven't touched GT in like 3-4 weeks either and I suck at Suzuka. So whenever PSN finally goes back up...

So hey, guys, why don't we do the opening here!?
3... 2... 1... GO!
*parada lap*
Since I'm the slowest person in the race, I'm dead last. Cue me overtaking Brentech. 15th place. Over smug for FINALLY OVERTAKING SOMEONE, I don't see a corner coming up and slam into it.
Cue me mumble grumbling to the pits and staying dead last for about five laps.

Watching F1 quali now is making me want to race grrr 
:'(
As we have no idea when PSN comes back combined with the fact that attendance will be a problem during the summer, I'm thinking we might have to postpone season 2 until the fall. I haven't discussed this with mush + UFRA yet, so we will return with more info once we have talked it over.
My idea for a short "silly" season before the summer break:
4 races in June (PSN should be fully back by then)
No teams, everybody in the league that wants to race is welcome.
Endurance races only (1.5 hours)
I'm thinking Sarthe, Suzuka, Monza and the Ring.
How does this sound people? Again, these are my personal thoughts and doesn't reflect upon the Super GT committee.

Until PSN is back we're going with TheSeks' idea:ashk said:
racing by e-mail:
Every racers fills out a form where they write down their throttle, brake and steering input for a specific section of the track. This form is emailed to kaz@gmail.com who rolls a couple of dices and posts the result here. If your name is ashk you have a 12 % chance of a disconnect card on the final lap. If your name is mush you have a 15 % chance of being overtaken on the final straight. If your name is angst you have 50 % chance of spinning out each lap.

You think people will still be around in the Fall? Personally I will probably toss GT5 to the side once Forza 4 rolls up.
