Maybe it took them a little bit for it to be reliable or beneficial, but they looked really good last weeks race.

The NSX's are fast in testing at Suzuka. Button at the top of a few runners unofficially breaking the track record.

New front spoiler of BRZ GT300 @Suzuka official test.
It seems to meant to thin the central part of the spoiler and flow air into the rear diffuser.

The Super GT YouTube has uploaded onboards from opening round at Okayama.
Keihin Honda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-b0YcjuFi0
Raybrig Honda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4714y64Lyk
KeePer Lexus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA9ZevP_lmk
The onboards are the full race from each perspective!!! I hope they continue this through the year.

This is heartbreaking. Yamada was working with Oshima at Suzuka during the SF round, up until he passed away on race day.

The list keeps growing with #23 Motul Autech GT-R onboard (and hopefully there are also GT300 onboards). I'm glad finally they did more efforts for onboard videos. Hopefully Super GT officials keep the good work race by race.

They've tried to broadcast them live before with little success. Usually they go up on a special onboards-only digest show on J Sports.

Regardless, holy crap, they're giving us eight hours of free onboard goodness.

Since that is the reshuffle between Lexus teams, is that reshuffle initiated by TRD?

Hopefully this change brings more speed to the DENSO SARD LC. Kobayashi and Kovalainen deserve to be competitive with the other Lexus'.

Something needs to be done to make the GT500 and 300 cars standout from each other more. I would suggest the IMSA route. Color code the mirrors, numbers, and panels. Red for 500. Green for 300.

I disagree with using mirrors to identify classes. They should be used to identify sister cars.

Why do you have trouble telling the cars apart?

Secret of quickness of Yuji Tachikawa (#38).
Fuji meister Tachikawa uses left-foot braking.
The secret of his quickness is acceleration while braking.
His driving style is very quick but on the other hand it has low fuel consumption.
So he can not be in charge of long stints.
