Kamui has links to Yokohama so I would expect to see him in the Bandoh car. |

This is my prediction as well But for #36 Tom's car are not very accurate. It should be Kobayashi/Jose Maria Lopez lineup is true , that because Rossiter is enter WEC to replaced Jose Maria Lopez and Kazuki Nakajima is participating WEC as well same as Hirate to replaced Kobayashi. 1 - Hirakawa/Cassidy 6 - Oshima/Rosenqvist 19 - Sekiguchi/Yamashita 36 - K.Kobayashi/Jose Maria Lopez 38 - Tachikawa/Ishiura 39 - Kovalainen/Kunimoto |

I don't think Rossiter is going to be in Toyota's lmp1 if he's testing the ByKolles car. I hope they keep him in one of the GT500's though.

In GT300, pro-pro pair is Okay as you know.
So if you can pass the GTA rookie test, you can participate in SGT. |

No idea.
But it seems that latest Autosport magazine reports that B-Max will cease GT300 activity next season. (GT500 activity only) |

Then that brings up a question: What becomes of Nissan's GT300 involvement? Does MOLA step down to GT300? Does NDDP Racing continue but with a new sponsor? Additional support to teams like Gainer/Dijon/Tomei?

*Maximum 4 NSX might participate in GT300.
*CarGuy will participate in GT300. *A new NSX user team will join hands with a GT300 team which has used Mercedes this year to get seeded. *B-Max will cease GT300 activity. *A potent foreign GT3 user team which has cooperated with Japanese importer (Studie? EIcars?) will cease GT300 activity. *An Asian team might participate in GT300 next season. |

That's great. that's because AUDI is very struggling in GT300 so far.
AUDI wants to prove its potential power. |

I think is EIcars Bentley team rather than Team Studie , that because EIcars team itself are doing Japanese importer business. While Team Studie is doing the tuning parts in BMW instead they will partner with BMW Japan. So it's impossible for Team Studie to cease GT300 participation. Plus Yuji Ide wants to create the new team to utilize NSX GT3 for GT300 participation so its highly likely for EIcar team to cease GT300 participation. @Japanese Samurai How about your opinion? |

Hmmmmmm....... Then do you think that Team Studie will ceased GT300 participation if they sell their M6 GT3????? I hoped not because they can buy the brand new chassis one with the update kit. How about your opinion??? Then I hoped this one is just a rumor |

Basically Phoenix Asia 'branch' is incharged by HK driver Marchy Lee and team's capitals are coming from Father of Shuan Thong ( 2018 Blanpcain GT Asia 3rd place with Marchy),therefore participation of any series mainly are their own accords. |

Autosport magazine 2018 GT300 silly season rumor.
*A GT300 champion experienced team (Gainer?) will run two GT-R GT3s (with different tire brand, at least one car will be EVO model). *A mother chassis user team might switch the chassis to Lexus RC F GT3. |

Gainer going all-in on Nissan would be less of a surprise, given team director Tanaka's ties to the manufacturer.
