Japan GT Championship Video Clip

Link

The race that started the Gran Turismo game.
Maybe even started the whole street performance movment in Japanese cars..
It weighs in around 7 mins.
The cars are awesome though...

That was awesome. Thanks for the link!

I really wish both this and WRC were easily watchable here in the US...

 

[Atrail]

I wish they would bring the tour here, like the American LeMans races...

Is there a non streaming link of it somewhere?

 

[Atrail]

Dude, right-click save target as.
You don't have to stream it.

N/M

You save target must be different than mine then, cause after I open the saved file, it goes and streams it. :\

WRC is easily watchable in the states... if your cable company didn't gipp you on getting Speed Channel. The Speed GT Championship is quite entertaining as well... SCCA ProRally is fun to watch too, but coverage is kinda cruddy.

They put a big wing on the 360 Modena :disgust: Id still drive it though

 

[Triumph]

Wow, look at all those Skylines!! <<drool>> Zexel, Unisia, Kure...I know them all from playing too much Gran Tourismo.

You'll notice that the professional drivers, even in Japan, don't do any of that "drifting" crap.

A shame Speed doesn't carry this series... it beats the hell out of Nascar.

Ha! Sorry to disappoint you but I'm sure most of them know how. That drifting "crap" is obviously for show... and would be a lot slower on a race track especially with these cars which have such a narrow slip angle. But believe it or not... Keiichi Tsuchiya, whom they call the "Drift King" drives one of those NSXs in the series... he won the GT2 Class during the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with an NSX as well. There goes your most boring lesson of the day... but drifting ain't so bad... hahaha...

Well it is isn't it...?... it doesn't make you go any faster... maybe it gets them girls or something.

Maybe it does, I dunno. I'm just pointing it out for the people on this messageboard that post links to drifting videos and say "Now that's REAL racing!" and crap like that.
