That's cool, another one making the leap!

But, you couldn't have found a more flattering picture? Looks like he's about to sneeze.

I am new to sim racing, so i do not know much about him... but anyway congrats.

Very cool to be with Orido. I'm going to guess another car will make it to the game.

Ok. So yeah.

People who raced karts and formulas show great ability in simracing. Who would have thought?

Just in case I make the jump someday, please know I've driven a car before. I even raced a go kart in the carnival fair.

Oh, and I have money. Not a lot, but I do have it.

GR86 GT GT300

He will be driving a beautiful car

So, GR86 GT300 MC as Toyota Gr.3's car when GR Supra RC's time is up sooner or later? Though I preferred the GR Supra GT300 instead for that role.

Edit: Yeah, I think it's past time to take the trash out. This is either trolling or bizarre grandstanding pig ignorance.

Edit edit: Ahh, much better. Carry on!

I always watch this series, and cheer for Orido especially, so I'm excited to see how he does. It's an awesome achievement to just make it to the best Racing Series in the world in my opinion.

Don't think there's a suitable thread to post this other than this, but if anyone is interested in watching these guys race then the first race of the season is tomorrow. Should be a great one, Super GT always is.

Would that be a youtube thing for east coasters, in the states?

You used to be able to watch on YT. This year I'm not sure. The official channel didn't stream the qualifying. It's in Japanese.

You can watch at the motorsporttv app in English, but you need to subscribe. The qualifying was great. Hyped for tomorrow race.

The race/replay is streamed with English coverage live on Motorsport.TV (paid, but cheap and they have looads of races/content, well worth) - they eventually upload highlights to the Motorsport.TV YouTube channel and the Japanese coverage is uploaded in full to the Super GT YouTube.

I don't think there's any other legal avenues? I'm sure someone else will know more if there is.
