Real World Racing - 2012 SUPER GT Rd.8  MOTEGI. [Full Race - HD]

Yanagida and Quintarelli were crowned the GT500 championship winners 

Mineo and Yokomizo took the GT300 victory and championship.

The Motegi GT 250 km RACE Round 8 of the 2012 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, took place at the Twin Ring Motegi (lap = 4.801 km x 52 laps) in Tochigi Pref. on Oct. 28. In difficult conditions with rain falling from before noon, the ZENT CERUMO SC43 (Yuji Tachikawa/Kohei Hirate) won the race by beating out the S Road REITO MOLA GT-R (Masataka Yanagida/Ronnie Quintarelli) that had clinched its second consecutive season championship title in the previous round.

In the GT300 class, the ENDLESS TAISAN 911 (Kyosuke Moneo/Naoki Yokomizo) won the race and, with it, the 2012 season championship title.

The rain that began falling from before noon soaked the track so the race had to be run in wet conditions. It was the first rain since entering race weekend and all the teams had to throw together machine settings for the rain and choose tires as best they could. For the drivers as well, the slippery conditions made for a very difficult race.

    Won’t be quite the same I reckon. DTM is a very different championship to Super GT – no driver swaps, no endurance element, and no second tier class doing their own race. Plus it’ll lose a little bit of the flavour that makes the Japanese domestic series so captivating. All the above have kept me hooked for many a year on the JGCT/SuperGT. Personally I’m a lot more interested in the European traffic going the other way. How will a works BMW/Merc/Audi presence shake things up in GT500 after almost 2 decades of relative stability and continuity? I hope above all else that both series don’t get diluted by the crossover.
