Yeah, i've seen onboards from one of those things and they are quite magnificent piece of engineering! Guy slams foot hard down in the middle of corner, car wobbles just a bit and thats it
The SuperGT cars are divided into two groups: GT500 and GT300 (cars with no more than 500 and 300 horsepower (374 and 224 kW), respectively). These power outputs are capped via the use of intake restrictors although some heavier cars are given allowances to run larger restrictors to maintain parity.
In order to ensure maximum excitement, both of the GT500 and GT300 groups are run at the same time although points are awarded separately for each group.
GT500 are considerably looser than most GT classifications, and teams are free to change engines with other models made by the manufacturer, change the alignment of the engine, or add forced-induction systems to models which do not normally have it, however from 2010 onwards all GT500 cars run V8 engines displacing 3.4 liters. The chassis may also be heavily modified, with lightweight tube-frame "clips" being allowed in front of and behind the main cockpit, although the car must overall look similar to its road-going variant. These regulations result in cars which are possibly the fastest GT racing cars in the world. The rationale for this was to allow manufacturers to field competitive cars without having to spend large amounts of money for homologation versions of the race car's road car counterparts (although some companies, notably Honda and Nissan, have still developed homologation specials).
GT300 cars are much more regulated than their GT500 counterparts, and much more closely resemble road-going versions. Chassis clips and realignments are not allowed (except the latter in the case of front-wheel drive cars), which results in a much more affordable racing experience for privateers. Canards, like FIA GT3, is not allowed in GT300 even it come in stock with the car. While engine outputs and modifications are at a lower level than the GT500 cars, the GT300 cars still post competitive times and races are very competitive.

@gandlers sign mostly, i do watching just the road course races, but to be honest, it's sometimes also quite funny to watch oval racing like at talladega or charlotte. one of the greatest oval's in the staates. but, I wish there will be driven more road courses.
however, for all racefans of manufacturer cups, VW and their LFS baby "scirocco" will race at Brands Hatch today. green flag will be at 17.30 (local time) - 18.30 CET - 12:30am ET
This VW Stream will be available for german & english commentary. (u can choose ur language right on top of the stream)
who insist NASCAR requires no talent should watch the last six laps or so of the race for the lead between Gordon and Johnson. That is what oval racing is all about!
