Murata:
Project of GR super sports concept has started in April, 2017.
So GR super sports does not link with ACO Hyper Car GT at all.

Tomoyama:
However, Hyper Car GT prototype concept is very welcome for Toyota.

Murata:
We want to introduce AWD hybrid system for road going version of GR super sports.
So hybrid system of racing version of GR super sports will not same as that of road going version.

Kitazawa:
General customer can buy road going version GR super sports. No extra license is needed.
We, GR company will launch racing version at first, then finally, we will deliver road going version car.

Tomoyama:
About Toyota Supra, we examine racing version (LMGTE or GT4?) of Toyota Supra with seriousness.
We are examining "all" GT format for Supra.

Would be nice to have a Ford GT replacement in the WEC championship.
