Honda
*Jenson Button will participate in GT500.
*Another foreign driver might participate in GT500.
*Maximum 4(!) NSX GT3 might participate in GT300.
(rumored team: Drago Corse, CarGuy, UPGARAGE, a team by Yuji Ide.)

Nissan
*Team B-MAX will replace Team MOLA and participate in GT500.
*Mitsunori Takaboshi will step up to GT500 class.
*Katsumasa Chiyo is a key person of 2018 silly season.
I wonder if that foreign Lexus driver will be Jose Maria Lopez or someone else driving in their lmp1's?
