Autosport SUGO round tech review.
**GT500
-In the SUGO round, Honda and Lexus introduced the 2nd fresh engine.
-Phase2 engine of Lexus has improved low-speed torque with heat resistance. Phase2 engine of Honda reduced the friction loss, and has improved all-band torque.
-However, Honda was not able to cancel "medium-understeering (understeer in the middle of a corner)". This delays the throttle-on timing at the time of corner escape, and straight line speed is inferior as a result. Honda was inferior to rivals in the time of the sector 2.
-Tom's (#36) changed the rear tire into 17inches from 18inches (with new compound/structural tire).
**GT300
-SUBARU BRZ (#61) extended the front tread and changed tire size.
(F,R; 300/710, 330/710 to 300/680, 300/710)
-apr PRIUS (#31) changed front tire size and equipped the air-con.
-ARTA Garaiya (#43) introduced the rear third damper.
-Shift Mercedes SLS (#52) removed air-con, and carried out the 25kg weight saving.
-Mugen CR-Z (#16) had a trouble with which the motor assistance does not operate by high temperature in the end of the race.
