It seems you are out of the topic. By the way you means VIVAC the main sponsor of Team Tsuchiya? |

Hmmm, if Team Tsuchiya lost Vivac main sponsor , they can also find the new main sponsor for Team Tsuchiya. Or even they can partner with Team Bandoh in 2019 season , if UPGARAGE split up with Team Bandoh thus, UPGARAGE will be an independent team which they use NSX GT3 equip with BS tires. I think these will make sense due to Kenta Yamashita step up to GT500 and Tsuboi might be Team Tsuchiya seat in this season as well . And After that he might step to GT500 including Takamitsu Matsui. Do you agree this statement, if its wrong, then pls correct me. |

Following ARN Blancpain GT Series Asia announcement I believe he would 'left' apr driving role as there are two clashes (well may be down to one due to Alonso) between two series

As it's mentioned before that 2018 will be the last year of Toyota RV8K engine, any clues about the next engine & layout for Prius GT300? What I know so far, the Prius GT300 is a kind of grandfathered spec so it's still allowed to race with mid-engine layout, even though the latest regulation stipulates that all cars have to use same engine position with the respective production car. |

About TRD-BIZ001 The output of the engine is same as GT500 Lexus engine right? Which is Inline 4 turbo engine that generate 600 hp. In addition this engine is more powerful than RV8K http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/01/...s-this-engine/ |

I think that TRD-BIZ001 is a derivative engine of NRE.
However, it will be mainly used for GT300. (Alternative for RV8K, GTA V8 engine) NRE is exclusively factory car use engine. So we can't buy it. However, TRD-BIZ001 is customer use engine. So we can buy it. |

Hi all, I would like ask to japanese samurai and other SGT specialists if my data about GT500 cars are correct or not:
Min. dry weight: 1020kg (driver excl.) Fuel Tank: 110L Tyre size: same as dtm: 300/680-18 - 320/710-18 50/50 mass distribution for nissan and lexus, about 55% on rear for honda mandatory set of gear ratios (like f1 and gt3) single bodywork allowed for season 600hp power output. About engine, I know that actually there is no revlimiter because power are kept under control by fuel flow sensors (can't remeber the exact value, about 90kg/h if am I not wrong). As far I know fuel flow are triggered only after reached a X rpm (7000 or 7500rpm). Can someone tell me the torque release range of these engines? if about 550Nm for most of the rpm range like mazda dpi engine or even >600Nm, and if engines use to rev over 8000-8500rpm? The only source for engine data are rumors and data from forza7, the latter don't know how much reliable. |
