Autosport magazine reports SGT engineer's round-table talk by Tsutomu Tojo (Tom's), Kotaro Tanaka (LeMans) and Takeshi Tsuchiya (Tsuchiya engineering).
-JAF-GT300MC is about 200kg lighter than FIA-GT3. But it generates only 470ps. (FIA-GT3: 600ps)
-Although MC car can run quick if it runs alone, it is difficult to overtake FIA-GT3 cars in actual racing. However, Tsuchiya have been told that they are unfair from FIA-GT3 users.
-They make a proposal that JAF-GT300 and MC should move to privateer class of JAF-GT500.
-Asian teams (mainly outside of Japan) are very rich, so they could buy FIA-GT3 car. But customer team can not touch important parts of FIA-GT3 cars, so no experience is accumulated in Asian engineers and mechanics. Technically speaking, it is in the colonies of European manufacturers.
