Every day, thousands of hopefuls aspire to get to the Top Class Grand Tourer (TCGT) World Cup. Only 28 compete at that level each year, and only 16 ever get to race in the higher tier, The 600-GT class. The road there is hellish.
We will follow the path of Masaaki Inoue, starting at the end, in his first race.
Nurburgring- 5:20 A.M. 30° F. Severe Rainstorm. Wind 22 mph.
Pit Chief: Why are the officials going through with this?
Driver: Since when do the TCGTSB give a damn about driver safety? Nobody can see crap in this conditions!
green flag. The 8 drivers are driving on an almost frozen green hell. Nobody makes a reckless move in the first sector. And then all hell breaks loose. 2 drivers collide, with seemingly minor damage. And then a tire falls off of a car. There is an audible snap from a tree...
The driver of the NSX R600 Mk. II had crashed. This was the end... for Masaaki's father... in 1993.
