I think it must be from one of the 4 Hours of Fuji (Asian Le Mans Series) entrant. Besides that, it seems the car use Michelin tires. The race will be held at 2-4 December.

@hvr777
Hold on, one of the 4 Hours of Fuji (Asian Le Mans Series) entrant for BMW M6 GT3 is this one while this machine is spotted by yesterday at Fuji Speedway, instead of non-livery M6 GT3.

I bet the team will be JLOC seeded team (#86) which is Braille or (#22)R'Qs Motorsports or (#50) Arnage Racing .

https://supergt.net/tandds/index/2016/gt300

As the new coming team for SUPER GT for next season, I bet the new team will utilize Bentley Continental GT3 car and the new team might have Keita Sawa 澤圭太

A withdrawal team may be Team MACH (#5).
After Motegi final round, they were taking a commemorative photo by all successive drivers of the Team.

Awww man, that'd be a huge bummer if Team Mach left, they've been in GT300 for a longer time than people realize.

With Singapore's F1 future in serious jeopardy, I would so dearly love for SGT to go there. Even if it was just an exhibition.

But more seriously, perhaps it's a way for Super GT to consider returning to Hokkaido? Maybe a street circuit race in Sapporo or Hakodate?

One proposal for a street race venue, and it may be too far-fetched given the city's makeup.

You know how Toyota has two home races at Fuji, and Honda has two home races at Suzuka and Motegi? Nissan doesn't have one. But they could have one, with a street race in Yokohama.

We are ready to 2017 motorsport activity.
Machine is updated to 2017 specs.
However, there is a problem in machine maintenance garage.
We're busy, so we have to outsource a maintenance garage.
We are looking for 2nd driver and sponsor.

See , Team Mach (#5) is not the withdrawal team.
Guess I m right , I bet Team R'Qs (#22) or (#50) Arnage Racing is the withdrawal team.

As the 2nd driver for Team Mach , I bet they rehire Shogo Mitsuyama as the 2nd driver , because he can contributed the maintenance garage and the sponsor

Autosport web reports the reason why street race becomes possible when GTA became a certified organization of JAF.
In order to hold a race in Japan, it must be a certified organization of JAF.
Up to now, Super GT was operated by each circuit company (certified organization of JAF), not GTA.
However, this method can not be used in the street race.
It'll become possible to hold a race by GTA itself in the future.
So this is the first step for holding street race legally.
