Wow! It sure was great to finally get to see the NSX in some races against other NSXs. The cars, parts, paint jobs, and race teams made for a good show, and the racing is aggressive. Certainly puts the US Realtime effort to shame-IMO.
I don't have a cable subscription, since I don't watch much TV. I cancelled it a couple of years ago, I only had it for Speedvision, and racing had become too much of a parade. When I heard that they were going to broadcast the Japanese championship, I was disapointed that they would only be showing highlights on a trial basis for a couple of months. While I would have liked to see SpeedTV (or whatever they are calling themselves this year) become the station that I always thought it could be, I was sadly disapointed in the network after it got sold. I still can't find out what races are on from the website, and just to show me that they are still a second rate station, I see that they repeated some of the same races twice in the three hour telecast. Sad, but I think they will always be showing infomercials.
I was surprised to see Wayne Gardner in the Japanese series. Last I heard he left Austrailian touring cars for truck racing. The McLarens and the Lambos don't look at ease on the track, I would have thought they would run better. They sure do know how to fix up cars over there in Japan, and it makes for a first rate race series. JGTC rules!
