Amazing, I like the side views when the car blows by the camera and you get a feel of how fast it's actually moving.

Is the R35 full time all-wheel drive? Or does it direct power depending on usage? (Like cornering, hard acceleration, etc)

Thanks for the link, I love how some drivers stuck a map of the track on their steering wheels.

FIA GT calls for RWD only btw.

Edit: They're a far cry from production, they sound like they're using VK45s instead of VR38s

Yeah I love this racing!

They use a 600 hp Nissan V8 out of a Titan I think. I was just on a site where there were close up close up shots of the car and explaining what things do. Iv just lost it now !

Why is this type of racing not on tv? I never see FIA races, maybe once and a while ill see V8 super car races. Internet is amazing for this.

So that's not the 3.8L TT in the Gtr? :/

Very few racing GT-Rs actually use the 3.8TT, Japan GT series don't use it either, as they must be NA. I believe they use a variation of the President engine.

Oh interesting. I was also reading on the R32 GTR for circuit racing and it was placed in the 4000cc category?? Anyone know why?

Turbochared engine x by I think 1.5? or something like that to get real capacity of engine.

As far as I know, the GT1 R35GTR racecars are Nismo built, but run by those teams.
