Takeshi Tsuchiya interview about chassis change.
https://jp.motorsport.com/supergt/ne...se-mc/4597854/

*Main sponsor Hoppy suggested him to switch the chassis to FIA-GT3 after the SUGO race.
*One of the reason is that Tsuchiya can't give results to everyone who supports him.
*Another reason is that the development of next-gen MC has stopped.
*For the Japanese DIY spirit, a next-gen MC balanced with FIA-GT3 is required.
*Current MC was not accepted by FIA-GT3 users.
*They were able to become champions by MC not because the MC was fast, but because the tires were excellent.
After that, 50kg of success ballast was imposed by BoP and they had a hard time.
*The race must be a place to train engineers and mechanics.
MC is its symbol. But that value was not accepted by everyone.
*In the 2020 season, Team Tsuchiya will use FIA-GT3 car.
If they succeed next season, they will prove to be thanks to the mechanics, engineers and drivers, not by MC.
