Looking grim, guys.
 
Grrrr... *wishes the Super GT would sign a deal with someone for late night tv*
 
This is ridiculous. The whole reason the series' name was changed to Super GT, was so that it enabled the championship to expand internationally. Thanks largely to Gran Turismo, there is an international fan base, but getting any kind of coverage in the West is impossible! Worse still, when someone creates a feed (presumably from Japan) and enables us to follow our favourite teams, it gets cut-off! Haven't the powers that be realised that we don't get Japanese television in the West? For goodness' sake, we need a petition going for international broadcast rights, or something (and preferrably not to Eurosport - their presentation regularly sent me to sleep; although anything's better than scrapping for threads of coverage on YouTube!).

EDIT: What about GT-TV? Didn't they used to get highlights? Although, with the total lack of content since 2007, I wouldn't hold my breath for an update there, either. Come on guys (read: whomever this may concern), sort it out; we want to watch the race!
 
good idea.
 
Offer all J sports channels (except J Sports ESPN) on a international tier with Direct TV, DISH Network, AT&T U-verse...etc... and it only cost like 10.99 more to add to your package. ACK I just double posted :( DOH!:grumpy:

And here's the Okayama race, again courtesy of PM910. It's just been uploaded but give it a few minutes, it should be available in 720p (HD):

The second goes to Weider HSV-010, the same car that crashed out in the first round. Here's the rest of the result: http://supergt.net/supergt/2010/1002/1002race_e.htm

Well I think its time to update this... (Its been almost two months!) Round 3 Fuji saw a win by Kraft #35 Lexus in GT500 and in GT300 it was the Orange #74 Corolla Axio in a great battle with the Autobaccs #43 Garaiya. Now we head to yesterday's action in Sepang, Malaysia. Round 4 saw a win by Calsonic #12 GT-R in GT500 and the #7 MUTIARA MOTORS M7 took GT300 honors. Everybody can check the rest of the results and even watch the race review of Fuji (Sepang will be up soon, I think) at www.supergt.net.

In some news, the #9 Porsche Miku car was missing in action at Sepang. Well, when the teams head to Sugo next month on 24th and 25th, they will have a new Porsche GT3 starting at the round with the Miku Colors on it. I hope it helps them be faster!!! ---- Randy

Sorry for not posting this earlier in the week, but it's that time of the year again where SuperGT stages it's showpiece event, the 39th International Pokka GT Summer Special.

Will the GT500 teams racing with the Honda HSV-010 fare better this time around after what happened at the season opener? The #8 ARTA team has a good shot a earning redemption for the brand.
