Yup, if u played gran Turismo. The supra, GTR and NSX has JGTC name. But it still called Super GT back then. maybe JGTC refered to japanese GT Car, while in europe it called GT1, or GT2
They do use the same Class 1 regulation like DTM (minus DRS), which is the reason why they're so similar. Sadly DTM is in a really bad shape compared to Super GT.
the gt500 and gt300 are actually named after the amount of power in kw that the cars produce with gt500 producing 650-670hp (about 500kw) and the least powerful gt 300 producing 400hp (300kw)
They were named based on the power in PS. Hence the 500ps (495bhp) and 300ps (295bhp) before the association adapt to the Class One regulations. These FIA GT3 cars were detuned to that power for example.
LP for ever they would win in a race but the gt500s have got a higher top speed it's the hybrid boost out of the corners in which allow the lmp1s to be quicker in terms of race pace as they can get to their top speed quicker.
I’m hoping they’ll add like a super gt version of a Kei car as a class or as a separate support series , gt200 or gt150? lol Would be awesome to see those little things with crazy aero and power racing each other.

I wonder why the fuck worldwide motorsport authorities bother to impose all kind of stupid regulations for GT cars in order to make them slower than they should be, and less powerful than their street versions, in addition a lot of aero restrictions, being that as WORLDCLASS GT cars they should be the fastest out there, but they are not. Even in DTM they have something against fucking power, Japan clearly shows how you can give engineers freedom and still have awesome racing, learn from Japan. At the very end, the fastest cars out there are legally not world class, but only limited to one country, and being able to stomp on real worldclass racecars.
@@dreharris5403 not true, GT3 are just as quick as GTE, if you look at the quali times on Fuji on Super GT (GT300) and WEC (GTE Am, GTE Pro) they post similar lap times.
Did you watched the video? GT300 have GT3 cars, cause it fit in specs... so, its inferior to GT500 GT500 pole laps are about 2~4sec behind LMP1 Theres no chance to a GT3 car
@@michaellafalce7350 The GT300 cars can keep up with WEC GTE a bit better because of the tire war. Regular GT3 cars are slower than GTE at most tracks. Fuji is also a very favorable track for GT3 vs. GTE, because GT3 cars do well in a straight line. GTE makes a lot of time over GT3 in the corners as they have much more downforce.
"Tyre war class", he just kind of swallows the words. It just means a class of racing where there are multiple tyre manufacturers competing, so they wind up creating incredible high-performing tyres specifically for the cars. Whereas if a class only has one tyre manufacturer, they generally play it safe because tyre failures look bad for the company (and hurt the racing quality).
I got into sports cars for the unique sound they each make, sad to find out they never keep the best sounding engines in races, such a disappointment jeez.
You know you can go watch the GT300 class if you want to hear that, right? You got your usual GT3 cars with engines like Porsche's F6, Lambo's V10, AMG's V8, and NSX & GTR's V6, alongside GTA-GT300 cars that uses engines like a Boxer 4, V8, & V8 Hybrid, and Mother Chassis cars with Nissan V8s. There are quite a lot of engine configuration to listen to.
According to my understanding from this video, GT500 is faster DTM both in corner and straight line. And GT300 = GT3 , except one can customise and build his own GT300 car but not GT3.
@Den Chan, I think that super GT and DTM are very similar, they raced this year at both a DTM and super GT track, and it was fairly competitive, with a DTM car winning at Hockenheim and a super GT car winning at Fuji
@@j2f141 Super GT cars had serious problems with tyre performance due to conditions in Hockenheim, this because their tyre suppliers design bespoke tyres to the circuits gt500 race in, in wet they're about 10 seconds slower but ended up being much slower.
Original GT300 is enough. The new rules don't make sense, should be labeled GT400. There are other allowable specifics such as power to weight & power restrictions, if car is too light.

I remember when Super GT used to be called JGTC (Japan Grand Touring Championship)
Flashbacks to the Castrol TOM'S Supra JGTC '00 from Gran Turismo 4
LMP1 car is faster than GT500. But lets remember LMP1 are pototypes and GT500 are heavily tuned cars.GT500 cars are incredible fast.
Av3ntur0zky The are not heavily tuned car. They use a complete spec chassis which is close to an LMP1 monocoque.
