Team Studie is BMW tuner in Japan.
Therefore, it may be related to future GT500 participation of BMW.
Thanks. Does Studie have strong links with BMW Japan? If so could be related to BMW entering GT500.

If BMW can entering SUPER GT GT500. Hope Studie participating GT300 with different chassis also (or might be the same chassis as last season) as well as GT500 class.

Nakajima Racing in 2014?
From the Nakajima Racing website, they announced that they will do a coloring/livery contest for: Kids (kids entry) and the Normals (professional painters IMO).

Motorsport channel rumours that a certain tire manufacturer will withdraw from Super GT.
Dunlop? Hankook?

It might be Hankook. If Hankook will withdraw, Kageyama and Fujii might be left without a drive.

My mind boggles at the thought of a step up to GT500. Or it could be the case that BMW was more in favor of Team Studie then GSR so the team has been given the Sports Trophy title.

If they will step up to GT500, what car should it be? If they will be in GT300, they will use BMW Z4 GT3.

Or the plenty of 2013-spec M3 DTM, which are phased out for 2014. That is, if Team Studie will somehow enter GT500 in 2014. If it's 2015, it wouldn't make much sense for BMW to promote an old car in Japan.

Hello there this is the good idea for BMW to participate GT500 class. The BMW M4 DTM, then ur decision is BMW M3 DTM(2013), if Team Studie enter GT500 in 2014, I suggest that Team Studie will use BMW M2 for my suggestion because of the regulations of SUPER GT engine specification 2.0 L4 Turbocharged engine and the SUPER GT GT500 chassis are mostly use unique chassis not for other chassis.For example: Lexus LF-CC replaced SC430 and Honda NSX-GT replaced HSV-010 GT except Nissan GT-R (but with a new car built for the new regulations). They both use the unique chassis and modification.

Promising times, competitive enough for the Q2 of both 2013 fuji rounds. Top speed only 273km/h? quite disappointing, 2014 DTM/GT500 should be more powerfull than german DTM, I can't understand why german DTM hit more than 260km/h at the ST of hockenheim parabolika straigth, while the lf-cc can hit only 273 in a longer straight.

Team Studie tire manufacturer expectation


Based one the next year team logo, Team Studie might compete on Michelin tyre for the next season SUPER GT.

Lets see for the website of the BMW Sports Trophy Partners:

Team Bandoh participation
About Team Bandoh participation is not ready, If Team Bandoh does not find any suitable sponsor with negotiating with Lexus. Based on DS" opinion. Maybe they are finding for their suitable manufacturer to get more sponsor for Team Bandoh.



If I say the post is wrong pls forgive me Japanese Samurai.

Thats faster than Kazuki Nakajima's record pole lap earlier this year! But slightly off the Fuji cup pole.
