Sidenote: Super GT used to be called JGTC (All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship) until the end of the 2004 season.

Wow, that's exciting news! I can't wait to see the new Honda Civic Type R GT500 race car in action. It's always thrilling to see the latest technology and engineering put to the test on the track. I'm sure it's going to be a fierce competitor and provide some exciting races in the upcoming season.

I think Honda did a nice job with the 'street' Civic R and the racing car version. Its seems like both Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Subaru have realized there is still niche that wants a manual transmission car and will spend the money. Anyways, nice looking car.
