The SUPER GT boss, Masaaki Bandoh, said to Endurance-info in an interview in Suzuka:
"A few years ago, I hypothesized to see a GT500 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, even within the frame of Garage 56, but that could not be done.
We ask that a GT500 can participate in FIA WEC in Fuji and in return we can help the development of the Asian Le Mans Series.
We did it by bringing the GT300 into a race and my dream is now to be able to see a GT500 in Fuji. I believe that attitudes are beginning to evolve on the part of the ACO".
