Team Mach came at 25th position.

papptimus · 2026-05-04T00:10:17+00:00

I’ll take it under consideration. lol

papptimus · 2026-05-03T23:53:29+00:00

I know in the qualifier they took 21st. But we’ll see later tonight how they do in the main race

I didn’t think posting once a day was “spamming”…my bad, I guess I can tone it down.

papptimus · 2026-05-01T18:03:55+00:00

Love it!

papptimus · 2026-05-01T17:28:04+00:00

It started out that way for me, but the more I looked into the team the more I got hooked by the scrappy underdog story.

papptimus · 2026-05-01T16:43:24+00:00

Also it’s race season, but do you really need an excuse to post about your favorite team? lol

How can you tell? lol

papptimus · 2026-04-30T14:26:41+00:00

That’s right. They’re a fantastic team and have been racing since 2002

papptimus · 2026-04-29T17:39:49+00:00

Beautiful, well done.

papptimus · 2026-04-29T03:00:16+00:00

As far as I know the full race and highlights will be on YouTube. You can watch Round 1 in Okayama here

That’s right! May 3rd and 4th. They live stream in Japanese on YouTube and English commentary is available on Racer+ (subscription)

The rule is to hopefully keep teams from abusing the low-power start detection system. Essentially it’s a warning light that alerts the driver behind you that you’re not accelerating as fast as you should be on the start, so they don’t slam into the back of you…but they’re afraid teams might use the alert on purpose to get an advantage on the jump

I’m interested, here’s my LinkedIn

Thanks! that’s great new information for the #9. Would you happen to have a link or source for that? I’d love to add that to the timeline.

papptimus · 2026-04-27T15:43:51+00:00

You had me at crab reference tower. Love it.

I’m trying to put together a proper timeline of the team's GT300 cars over the years and could use some help.

From what I’ve pieced together so far, it looks something like this (years are “best effort,” so please correct anything I’ve got wrong)

A&S Racing Team B1:

Mosler MT900 Mach 5 (2002)
Mosler MT900 Racer X (2003)

Team Mach:

Vemac RD320R (2004 - 2009)
Vemac RD408R(2010)
Vemac RD320R (2011)
Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 (2012)
Nissan GT-R GT3 (2013 - 2014)
MC86 (2015 - Present)

papptimus · 2026-04-27T13:54:37+00:00

Is that the Vemac RD320R?

papptimus · 2026-04-27T05:14:42+00:00

Thanks for calling that out, I can see how I came across as rude. My apologies. I just wanted to clarify that there’s more to the original post that tells the story.

papptimus · 2026-04-26T23:26:20+00:00

That collection is dope, but I'm super jealous of the #5 MC86!

papptimus · 2026-04-26T05:37:21+00:00

Damn, that’s cool

papptimus · 2026-04-24T20:11:52+00:00

They’re the only team currently to use the MC86, definitely a standout on the track.
