I think I said this before but I can't see the old Prius going on for too long if the 86 mother chassis starts getting as widely purchased as it seems.

What gains would that bring? Less weight, but thatd be minimal.

It reduces drag and improves warm up performance.

So how many teams will be at Sepang the upcoming week?
#36 RC-F #100 NSX (well at least they were there this weekend) #61 BRZ others? Anyone still have dates for 'official test sessions'? I think 2014 dates were announced earlier than this |

Is the "99" the Porsche that run with Michelins at Thailand, or one of the NSX GT500? Can't tell with the typically useless google translate |

@MagVanisher
But I am curious about the Team Taisan for participating SUPER GT this year for using which chaasis... But I think Team Taisan might use BMW Z4 GT3 for this year or use BMW i8 (the rare chassis and I hoped them to make it) to participation of SUPER GT Last edited by AkioAsakura95; 19 Jan 2015 at 06:53. |
