Default JGTC lands on US soil this December!!!!!

The incredible JGTC series is finally coming to the US on December 18-19 at the California Speedway!

Now you can see the GT NSX, Skyline, McClaren, etc in true race form! I saw a race in Japan in 2002 and it was one of the best races I have ever been too. I highly recommend attending this event to see these rare cars!

Here is the official website: http://www.jgtcusa.net/home.html

Looks like you could get some track time with the JGTC drivers, too.

There's no McLarens or Skylines this year. The Skylines have been replaced by the Z. One of which is in 1st place. Plenty of Supras and NSXs, couple of Ferraris. It hasn't been said which cars are actually coming over though. Still gonna be a fun weekend.

Not really sure. They weren't really competive anyway. The huge Yellow Corn graphic had me laughing everytime though.

The McLaren's were not cometitive because they ran in the GT300 category I think. GT300 is limited to 300hp, and a detuned McLaren from 627hp down to 1/2 is not very healthy for that car. I maybe wrong, but I really do remember them in GT300
