any news on what TV stations might broadcast it? according to the site looks like last year fox sports broadcasted it here in the US, but that could also mean that is was on speed (since it is a part of fox). There is F1 this weekend so i dont know if they will have it or not this time around.

I think its funny how the Toyota badge in the rear is taped off when you can CLEARLY see it. why even bother? lol

EDIT:
Im loving those wheels! Can anyone explain why there is a hole behind the right front fender? is it some sort access to the suspension?

VLN races don't get broadcasted live. Usually there's a small-ish race report in the week after the race on a German sport channel.. but that's about it.

Probably for the air lift system.

ah what a shame this is the page i found> http://www.vln.de/newsausgabe.gb.php?id=2089 but i realized the VLN is a series of races so it maybe it was a different type of race altogether. oh well i hope some kind of video makes it to youtube

NICE!! I like those wheels! Thanks for posting Hachi

p.s-can we try and not de-rail this thread. :happy0180:

No they don't do live coverage. Racing with camo is nothing new, they did the same with the LF-A the first year.

Marrk · 10-13-2011, 01:49 PM

^^ Thanks. I was going to ask that very thing. :happy0180:

All signs point to Trunk. There's even a few pics of th MK1 with the trunk open.
