Suzuka 2011 Day 2 (Race)

August 21st, 2011 - Autobacs Super GT 2011 Series came to Suzuka for the one and only time this year for the 5th round of the championship series. This year's race, due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, was modified as a response to the national policy of energy conservation. The race distance was trimmed from 700 km to 500 km. In addition, the Suzuka round was only run in day sessions, but still anything could have happened between the green light and the checkered flag. Come rain or shine... the show must go on -> the weather was a bit wet & rainy most of the day, which led to the intense excitement of some cars slipping off the course suddenly and into the safety barriers! For this year, I got the "pit walk" option and was able to see all the team's girls decked out in their sponsor's outfits! What kind of race event in Japan would be complete without some delectable female eye candy there to spice things up and add quality in the sponsor's areas for the fans at this years Super GT!
