Ummm did you happen to miss the GT500 in there? No reason to include both the 5.0 and the GT500.

Also they've included the GT-R in the past 3 years even though they didn't have a long term car all those years.

Yeah they had mentioned that it won 2nd place in the past 2 years before this one. They also said that GT-R handled better last year and that there was more mid corner understeer this year.

that was a strange result as they only tweaked the spring rates ever so slighty thats all that was changed in the suspension
