Fifteen years ago, already!
For a Blu-Ray story, a PS3/GT5 Prologue pack landed in the home of Aymeric and Pierre, the creators of GTfusiOn. The instruction is clear in the household: "It will remain occasional and recreational". So far, nothing transcendent, you may say, except that the kid, in order to optimize his sessions, has the imperative idea to perform with his Portuguese, French and Belgian friends. We are in the infancy of online lounges and only have forums for social networks.
In 2008, it was a feat to gather pilots in the same lounge... So the GTfusiOn was born.
The GTfusiOn was born. And so we began the fifteenth anniversary year of the competition. We take out a Gr.2 from 2008, of course. On board at the time for a TOP 10 in the Super GT500 class, Loïc Duval and Katsuyuki Harnacha....... the '08 Honda NSX GT500. Our teams will have a lot of work to do to tame a little more than 500 hp for not 1200 kg.
The car was used a lot, because it was appreciated for its complexity from the first corner, this double right before going up the "S" and arriving in the Dunlop corner, but yes, this one, the only one to be in the shape of an eight. Suzuka, which was the scene of many a GTfusiOn final, will be the perfect place to start the year.
To do so, we are waiting for you, the team and the spectators, on March 24th, 25th and 26th for the start of the 15th GTfusiOn 2023 World Team Championship.
