I just watched the Super GT race from Sepang and there is a BRZ running in the GT300 class. It held off an Audi R8 for the last ten laps of the race. For those not familiar Super GT is the Japanese version of DTM, except much more exciting.
The GT300 class is the smaller of two, with GT500 being the big boys. In any case the 300 class is limited to 300HP so obviously the BRZ is no where near stock. It is a very sophisticated series Others in it's class include the Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari 430, BMW Z4 and a bunch of 911s, among others. The 911 won....BRZ was something like 9th. Not bad in a field of about 20-25 cars.
The Z used to run in both classes but now Nissan sticks with GTRs.
