	Super GT (JGTC - Japan GT (Grand Touring) Championship)
		The JGTC is run by the GT Association, which was founded in 1994 as a successor to the failed Japan Sport Prototype Car Championship (JSPC).
		However, within a period of 7 years, the JGTC reached the pinnacle of motor racing in Japan, boasting an impressive field of 48 teams and attracting over 45,000 fans on race day.
		JGTC uses a system of handicap weights to ensure a level playing field.

		For the past three years he has eaten and breathed JGTC, trying to land a deal that would bring the series to the States and this is what he had to say.
		RG: The one thing that is different about JGTC is their overall philosophy- they don't just want to be a Japanese series, they want to be a pan pacific series, maybe more.
		Especially on the West Coast of the United States and on the East Coast, the cars that are being raced on the JGTC are the cars that we drive for the most part so we're able to relate to it.

	JGTC 2004 All-Star 200 and JGTC All-Star Sprints
		JGTC 2004 All-Star 200 and JGTC All-Star Sprints
		Up to now, the JGTC has never visited any tracks featuring banking, though the series has run on an oval on one occasion, at the 1997 All-Star race at Twin Ring Motegi when the Super Speedway was used.
		Contrary to regular JGTC races, a pit stop in either of the sprints would be fatal.

	Interview With The JGTC's Michael Krumm
		Ten years ago, when the JGTC started, all the lap times were close to those of the Formula 3 machine lap times.
		As he mentioned, the lap times in the JGTC events have improved dramatically in just a few short years.
		It's just like he commented, the engine power output of JGTC cars is much less that of cars constructed based on Le Mans regulations or FIA GT Championship regulations.

	i-Club -- Forums - FYI - JGTC on SpeedTV
		JGTC may have and exciting format, but from what I saw, the drivers were hacks.
		Another thing I have noticed is that the JGTC seems to draw Japanese drivers almost exclusively while all those other TCs we've mentioned have a host of drivers from the Americas, Europe, Australia and Japan.
		Perhaps JGTC gets the Japanese cream of the crop and then everything else from Japan because no one from other parts of the world is really participating.

		The JGTC series has become the largest racing series in Japan in terms of vehicle participation with six races taking place in Japan and one in Malaysia.
		From 2003 and on, many of the rules within JGTC and the GT500 series have undergone a full revision, under the collaboration of the JAF committee.
		Adding to the controversy that keeps the JGTC series on its toes is the fact that many of the people who campaign in the NSX think the rules and weight penalties are unfairly biased.

	JGTC 2005
		However, the presence of works cars in the JGTC resulted in much more liberal rules for the aero-dynamics of the body.
		I think the JGTC has gathered so many fans thanks to the appeal of the cars on one hand, but the real reason for drawing the spectators out to each event is because of the interest in the race itself.
		JGTC racing is in Japan as popular as DTM racing in Germany, as Nascar racing in the States or as V8-Star racing in Australia.

		You’ll find much of the JGTC in the “Gran Turismo” PlayStation game except some would argue the JGTC is more radical and you drive the full-bodied, winged, flared and over-tired “steroided” go-karts with a steering wheel instead of a joystick.

		The attraction of the super-tuned JGTC racecars is undeniable to the tuner crowd.
		When the checkered flag dropped the victor first appeared obvious, but only after a 60-second penalty was levied for the team taking a pit stop one lap early was the final two-driver team declared winner in the GT-500 class.
		In stark contrast to the JGTC teams that follow the tightest and quickest available lines around the course, the D1GP drivers kept the crowd smiling and screaming with sideways wide-line, tire-frying pageantry through the much shorter course.
