I guess that means no racing for mech tensioner-equipped V6 engined
cars? I also asked this on gtv6.org site - it seems that on the track,
if you spin and you are not quick enough at standing on both the clutch
and brake, you could roll backwards.... no panel damage but you're
looking at an engine rebuild.... so what do GTV6 racers use? 

Don't have a GTV6 but it's on the list of cars I'd like.... preferably
without bent valves.
