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.

That's right I forgot. But there hasn't been any re-confirming news on that front (Sakura) for a while has there? Would be great if they both came.

Thank god there's no DTM's bring-same-number-of-cars-as-others-or-else-we-whine.

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

Thanks, bit more than I thought

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

Thank you. I remember the Legacy B4 had a very low front end with the fenders protruding. Compared to the BRZ it looks much more sleek.

@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
