Scorchess has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Hey Sam, heard anything about a replacement race for the 1000k next year? It would be a crime if the GT500 cars had even fewer races next year.

The 1000km has only been a Super GT round for 10 years anyways. Traditionally Suzuka was a season opening or season ending 300km race.

Good. Hopefully those will make their way to the Nismo streams as well.

Since NISMO TV uses the host broadcaster's pictures, I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing some onboard shots.

They mention onboards for the official vehicles and the safety car - nothing for the competitors just yet?

According to Autosport web:

It seem that ITR boss Gerhard Berger has rejected joint race of DTM car with SUPER GT GT500 car by using the Class 1 regulation.

Title:
ITR代表ゲルハルト・ベルガー、スーパーGTとの「クラス1世界選手権は我々の焦点ではない」

Page 1:

@Japanese Samurai
Can you please translate of the title of this article and summarize this article with 2 pages as shown as above.

Berger's comment
Class 1 World Championship is not our focus.
Our biggest focus is in the current series, not in the FIA's new world championship.
Our target is to strengthen the platform (of DTM), enable a good race and have rules to make fans come.

It is natural comment as ITR's chairperson.
He says that DTM isn't swallowed by Class 1 race series of FIA.

I'm bored of DTM. This Class 1 thing could be such a great antidote to the BoP crap infesting everything.

I'd love to see Class 1 again but I really don't want Super GT to be changed by ITR, the championship is great as it is and I don't want the series to be damaged by a Class One that might fizzle out after one or two years due to manufacturers pulling the pin when they don't win.

They've already fundamentally changed it. The cars and the engines SGT currently uses are both changes that were supposed to be taken by BOTH SGT and DTM for the Class 1 ruleset but the Germans backed out of it.
