Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca - Monterey, California
11 December 2005

Race day dawns bright and clear into another world-famous, beautiful California day. An excited crowd, second only to the MotoGP race in numbers, takes their seats in the grandstands or hillsides around the circuit. As at California Speedway last year, there has been plenty to entertain the crowd, with everything from R/C cars to car and motorcycle shows and drifting competitions held throughout the weekend. But now they are ready to watch the main event of the meeting.

The teams of the Super GT series have had a week of practice and are set for 200 miles of close competition. They have fine-tuned their Nissans, Toyotas and Hondas and are confident of their performance over 90 laps. The drivers have done many laps around the 2.238 mile course. They know the keys to victory are turning in fast, consistent laps and avoiding contact with the slower GT300 cars.

The GT500 starting grid was based on practice times. Since only the top four cars turned in a time, the rest of the grid was based on entry submission, with the teams who submitted an entry first place higher on the grid.

Row 1:
1) 12. Sjenk Calsonic Impul Nissan Fairlady Z
2) 39. Mulsanne Denso Sard Toyota Supra
Row 2:
3) 6. Biochemist ESSO Ultraflo Toyota Supra
4) 34. Driven -USA- Bandai Toyota Supra
Row 3:
5) 32. Earth Epson Honda NSX
6) 3. ejr_1 G’Zox Hasemi Nissan Fairlady Z
Row 4:
7) 1. Small_Fryz Xanavi Nismo Nissan Fairlady Z

* Standard on-line racing rules apply. Drivers must keep at least two wheels on the track/kerbs at all times (no wall-riding, grass/track cutting, etc.). Avoid unnecessary contact with AI opponents.

Good luck to everyone. 👍 Hope to see you at the finish. :)
 
Sorry guys, but it's 11:00 PM here, I have school in the morning, and I do not have time to run this race. Really really sorry about this Mulsanne. :guilty:
 
Cool, I won in our first 'real' batlle :) (I can't call Toyota 7 vs BMW LM fair :p)

5.739 is all that seperated us after >2 hours :) Ok, the 2nd ESES race is even closer, but this gap is also quite small :p
 
👍 👍 :dopey: Cool, a podium finish. Havn't had 1 of those in a while :crazy:
Hope the New Year brings us a New Series by Mulsanne, as his other post has indicated. Hope alot of racers show up for that race. :cheers:
 
Me too. :)

Again, I want to thank both of you guys for doing the race. I don't know how I went from having 15 participants for the GV300 (8 finishers) - who gave the race great reviews - to 8 participants (and 3 finishers) for this race. I think they've forgotten about me. :( But I want to thank you guys for sticking around.
 
How about sending me a PM about the next race you hold. :lol: I just didn't have the time, as I said. :lol: Next time I'll have some fun with you guys, next time.
