For the third consecutive year, Nissan Motorsport (NISMO) has won the Team Championship title for the Japanese Super
GT series. The championship came down to the eighth and final round at Suzuka this weekend, where torrential rain
caused the race to be shortened from 52 to 39 laps. NISMO team cars finished 2nd and 6th, garnering enough points to
win the championship with a total of 86 points to Team Honda’s 82 points.
Here in North America, we’re hoping that SPEED Channel’s off-season programming includes at least some of the Japanese
GT series. These are some of the wildest racecars on the planet, and a blast to watch. Rumor has it that the cars will
return to the U.S. for a demonstration race in 2006. Cross your fingers!
