Must've missed the news item, what happened to MOLA? Can't find info anywhere, are they racing in GT300 or shut down altogether?

According to Daisuke Ito blog,
there was a SGT sporting regulations explanatory meeting today. It seems that the formation at the time of rolling start is strictly regulated this season. http://www.diamondblog.jp/official/d...8E%E4%BC%9A-2/ |

I decided to get the digital version of AS vol. 1474 and pieced together what the rest of the GT300 might look like.
https://supergtworld.wordpress.com/2...of-the-puzzle/ LEON: Kurosawa/Gamou JLOC 88: Orido/Hiramine JLOC 87: Hosokawa/Motojima Upgarage: Yuhki Nakayama/Takashi Kobayashi Hitotsuyama (announcement next week): Lyons/Tomita Mach: N. Sakaguchi/Fujinami Tomei: Shibata/A. Tanaka/Aoki Rn-Sports: Ryosei/Ueda Taisan: AS has Parsons/Klien listed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Yamada/Kawabata were also in the frame R'Qs: Wada-Q/Guts Dijon: Dr. Takamori/any combination of M. Tanaka, T. Iida, or Masami Kageyama |

Autosport web reports the weak point of BRZ GT300.
The problem of BRZ is the loss of the point in the cold temperture race. BRZ was transaxled and weight distribution was optimized. This enabled fuel only pitstop strategy. On the other hand, the warm-up performance of tire in cold temperture is a problem. Since JAF-GT300 is inferior to FIA-GT3 in performance of traction control, they can not soften the compound of the tire. Therefore, they want to improve the good use of tire during the cold off season http://www.as-web.jp/supergt/341825?all |

Lexus 1st in all four test sessions at Okayama the last two days - and even still, everyone in the paddock is in awe over Juju Noda's first laps in an F3 car. Motorsport is really neat.
