Default JGTC coming to VIR.

The weekend of October 6-8 will see the inauguration of an exciting new event at VIR. The Grand-Am Cup 12-Hour Enduro will serve as the series’ season finale. It will be the longest race in the series’ history, and Grand American officials hope that it will become the series’ signature event. Another exciting component of the weekend will be the first-ever east coast appearance of GT Live, the wildly popular “motorsports theme park” concept that accompanied the 2004 visit of the Japanese GT series to California Speedway. GT Live is aimed at younger enthusiasts, and will provide non-stop on- and off-track activities for fans throughout the weekend, including demonstrations by Japanese GT racers (with ride-along demonstrations for fans), drifting, Time Attack, autocross, karting, radio-controlled cars, car shows and audio challenges, plus music and vendors.

should be cool to seem them run on a "real" road course this time.

I flew down from Seattle to LA for the 1st JGTC/D1GP they held at Fontana. It was definitely worth it!

That sounds interesting, but I couldn't help but notice that there's nothing in that text that specifically mentions that JGTC will actually race it VIR, like they did at Fontana. From the sounds of it, this could just be everything BUT the race that they had in California in '04. Still sounds like a cool event, but it could be even better if they actually had a race.

Yep, no JGTC race. The ad wording is pretty deceiving...
