We were able to acquire 12 x 30 minute cut-downs of 12 JGTC races. We will be airing them three at a time in 90 minute blocks for four weeks to get a taste for what you all think and general appetite.

(I must confess that the races I saw were a bit boring, but I defer to the experts!).

This is what we could get in English language and was worth paying for since you all seem so hyped-up for these. I hope you are not disappointed. Check our schedule in a week or so to get exact times. We are looking at a first air in EST prime on Mondays in January and Febuary re-airs on the weekends.

Enjoy...consider this your early Christmas, late Hanukkah or Kwanzi gifts.
Or if you are not in to any of that, just a gift cuz we like you!

Also, big Bob from Speed is the guy who hunted the globe for these and got it done, so credit goes to him.

syunara. (something like that).

praise the lord!!!!!

 

Great news.

I wonder why he said they're boring, though? The races themselves, or the fact that they're edited to much?

 

Reading on in that forum, it seems that if enough interest is generated,they MIGHT carry the 2003 season

I am hoping speed wakes up and smells the roses... full length JGTC with the British commentary would rock N.A.... and think about the promo deals they could make with car companies... ie a 350 JGTC Race car.... 350Z commercials... S2000 JGTC Race car... honda sales.... we're talking megabucks here.... (pleaaaaaaase bring JGTC to our shores, speed.... PLEAAAASE! )
