As I remember it, AWD was banned in 01/02 due to the dominance of the AWD Skylines.

I don't know about FWD, but why would you race a FWD. Even Honda races RWD in JGTC

I think what he meant was he didn't know if it was converted to rwd for JGTC.

I thought you could be AWD, but they had bigger restrictions...

No AWD. Good question about Celicas. I am pretty sure they are FR, but I will try to find out. I wanna know now too. BTW, it is not called JGTC anymore. It is called SUPER GT now.

IIRC the celica was a RWD car and had a 6 or 8 cyl engine

JGTC Celica = FR using the JDM Gen 3 MR2 Turbo engine. Same with the Supras, they use the JDM Gen 3 MR2 Turbo engines. The 6 cyl has something to do with being too heavy and not high enough revving.

Correct. ***'s Celica has 3S-GTE engine. The other Celica as the actual new Celica motor. No 6-cyls there.
