I can see the back-end of the Evora clearly. Now then, I wonder if they'll put it a Cosworth engine...

hah, overall it looks great...although that massive extention on the rear diffuser makes it look like it was meant to be a longtail, but they forgot to extend the top of the body to match

any technical specs?

Damn, that Evora looks gorgeous! Of course, the back of the canopy should be extended!

While I like the updated Subaru BRZ, it's sucks that Mooncraft can't afford an engine other than the Nissan V8.

In Kouta Sasaki blog, he says that he races as a rival of SUBARU.
So, he won't retire.

Speaking about the mother chassis:
I am curious about the the mother chassis engine
Is SGT-Evora engine for Mooncraft team(#2) is only one engine that can choose (GTA badged Nissan V8 engine) and why mother chassis cannot used other engine as well??? Can everyone give me a reason here???

Then If mother chassis engine is only one choice, why Mooncraft team want to use Lotus Evora in Mother chassis category instead of (JAF-GT or JAF-GT300) category so that Mooncraft can choose whatever engine that they want.

And the last question, is that JAF-GT300 is only for Japanese car or not?

Conventional JAF-GT300 technical regulations 5.1 (engine) says,
"An engine from another model of car can be mounted if it derives from the homologated or registered vehicle of the same manufacturer."

JAF-GT300MC regulations eased this regulations.
It's possible to use GTA badged engine for JAF-GT300MC.
Lotus doesn't have own proper racing engine. So GTA engine is logical choice.
Japanese/Asian automobile manufacture which doesn't have racing engine can participate in SGT by JAF-GT300MC car.

But if i say the JAF-GT300 for European Car , then if i have an engine for BMW Motorsport ( from BMW M4 production based model) derived one but the racing engine is slightly modified one, but the chassis is the other BMW model one (example : BMW M2 or M235i) as compared for the engine form the BMW M4 .

Will this engine and the chassis is acceptable ( My answer should be not, because JAF-GT300 is only for Japanese car one)

Would be much better if he enters the team as their third driver for endurance rounds, for me.
