That's GT300-spec not GT500-spec. IF you knew that yellow number boards in JGTC/SGT meant 300 class, you would be slightly less of a greentexting shitposting moron. Also it was a complete piece of garbage that never finished a race.

What is this?
The traction engine was a four-pole, three-phase, 525-volt AC induction motor, weighing 143 pounds (65 kg), with a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm; it had an aluminum housing, was lubricated by oil, and had an 8:1 motor to final drive ratio. Electrical power was supplied by a water-cooled, three-phase alternator which was built into a two-stage gas turbine, fueled with liquified natural gas, running at 50,000 rpm at low speed and 100,000 rpm at high speed, weighing 186 pounds. Additional energy for acceleration was provided by a 147-pound SatCon composite flywheel housed in a vacuum chamber running at 58,000 rpm, coupled to the drive train via three-phase permanent magnets in a Halbach array.[2]

Reportedly the drivers would fiddle with the throttle out of habit while waiting on the grid, which made the entire thing visibly squat.

the coolest innovations are always squashed by shitty regulations. They always claim it's for "safety" but they'd never bother to ban anything that doesn't provide a massive advantage.
>>16033667
that's because the safety concern is the cars being too fast
