"And though another driver has not yet been announced, the AutomotiveForums.com team has reserved two numbers, 69 and 70, with plans of adding a second GT-R to the roster later in the season."
That caught my attention Go Igor! I'll be cheering for ya and the whole AF team when I watch the race on speed (man I wish I could to one of these races )

Re: Nissan Skyline GT-R to Make North American Road Racing Series Debut in SPEED GT
Igor, I'm very curious as to who'll be driving the second car, especially as -having seen what the big boys are planning for ought-six - I know that a hired gun will be a necessity to keep the team's hopes alive.
Archer and Autohaus are now factory Mopar. Caddy has girded up with Pratt & Miller's full weight. There'll be Aston Martin DBRS9's and even a Ford GT with Sammy Hagar's pockets behind it. I want to see you do well, Igor, I really do, but this isn't a time attack against street tuners. This is SCCA Pro at its most cutthroat since the days of the Kendall/Schroeder Mustangs and Fellows/Sharp/Baldwin Camaros in Trans-Am. If Autosport and their factory Volvos couldn't catch a break in Speed World Challenge against these guys, where will that put Automotive Forums with our 5 year old out-of-production Japanese coupe?

I don't know... I just figured that if it can still win its class at Nurburgring 24 hours the car's got to have something left in it.

Re: Nissan Skyline GT-R to Make North American Road Racing Series Debut in SPEED GT
Wholly different race under wholly different circumstances. Sprint races allow cars to run full rich without fuel economy worries or much fear of driveline breakage. Big power cars like the Viper and Corvette don't worry as much about tire wear, either.
The Nurburgring 24 is a testament to the bulletproof durability of the R34 GTR N1, and Mid-Ohio is a course very similar in spirit to the 'Ring, so the car may handle that track well. However, I stand by my assessment that we at Automotive Forums are severely outgunned in this endeavour.

Re: Nissan Skyline GT-R to Make North American Road Racing Series Debut in SPEED GT
And I'll be cheering for you guys as well. Heck, I've crewed race cars before (short track open wheel, mostly) and have experience in setup, construction, maintenance, and testing.
If I'd thought you'd take the offer, I'd throw my hat in the ring to crew the Skyline, just to prove myself wrong. But that's pretty ludicrous. However, right now I can only point out what I observe from my other role in motorsport; as a statiscian, journalist, and historian.
