I just looked at http://www.jgtc.net and found out the coming year's schedule.

Apparently the last stop is West Coast of the US. No time and place details released (or even decided yet). But this will be very interesting to observe. I wish it'd be Laguna Seca, cuz I live in the Bay Area :)

It says in 2004. It won't be this year but next year's season. It's in southern CA. Leguna or Button Willow....just my guess.

T1 school connecetion and freetime after school! Look at the '03 Promo vid!

I can't find that info on jgtc.net... can you link the exact page?

ButtonWillow is way too small. No grand stand, no big restrooms....no sand traps..I don't think pit area can hold those big rigs carring each team's cars and equipment.

Laguna is capable of hosting JGTC but Laguna is bay area, not southern California.

I think it's California Speedway. Half oval and half inside track like GrandAm series. California Speedway is new facility and the capacity is really big. Only 30min. from LA.

The video says it towards the end. Forward the video to about 5:00 minutes. That's where they say it.

watched the video it's awesome!

actually it says JGTC is planned in 2004 in west coast
so it might be Laguna Seca.

California Speedway is a bigger track but I think Laguna Seca is more challenging.
It'll be GranTurismo in real life if Laguna Seca hosts it.

I really hope and pray that it'll be Laguna Seca hehehe.... Any chance of Infineon? Either way, this'll be awesome!! Will be both GT300 and GT500 classes, or only GT500?
