Michelin must be the new tire make in GT300. Are the tires for the JAF GT300 cars a softer compound than the GT3 machines?

Samurai, do GT3/GT300 use same tire compound type? Or are you not sure?

I don't know about that.
But all JAF-GT cars have inboard suspension unlike FIA-GT3 cars. Therefore, I think JAF-GT can use more aggressive tire (soft compound?) than FIA-GT3. |

Bandoh could do well with a driver with speed like him. Itd be nice to see them get good results.

According to Takeshi Tsuchiya's blog,
He seems to get an offer from team Arnage (Vantage GT3). But he says that the team needs the sponsor. http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...blog/28754366/ |

Triple-A is a publishing company of Pachinko (Japanese style casino) magazine.
Judging from the team name, probably Aspeed is a racing division of Triple-A. It is uncertain whether Triple-A becomes a sponsor of team Arnage. |

Funding source of Triple-A is pachinko money.
So they were not necessarily withdrawn for financial difficulty. Therefore, they may become a sponsor of Arnage. Pachinko companys support Super GT. ZENT and D-Station are pachinko company. |

President of ZENT should be big fans of motorsport as they have sponsored different team for over 20 years and his son was semi-professional driver now!

Speaking of the Vantage GT3 sponsors, will Good Smile Racing have a decent two-car team? Last year, only one car is at the Top 10.

Team KRAFT (#35) officially announce that they withdraw from GT500 this season.
They aim at the participation in GT300. However, they may stop participation this season. The possibility of company name change etc cannot be denied, either. http://ameblo.jp/kraft35/entry-11441756484.html |
