@Japanese Samurai

It's means that D'station racing will replace Team KTR by the name ?????

It's also mentioned that D'Station Racing will step up from ST-1 to ST-X class (FIA GT3 cars) at Super Taikyu series this season with the 3-driver lineup, consists of Satoshi Hoshino (owner), Seiji Ara (same as previous season) and newly-recruited Tsubasa Kondo. Just like at Super GT, the team will be racing with Porsche 911 GT3 R (991).

With such lineup at Super Taikyu, I think Kondo-san will be one of the realistic option. Yuya Motojima (as PCCJ champion) is also the possible one as well.

Besides that, Satoshi Hoshino also has a dream to enter 24 Hours of Le Mans an 24 Hours of Daytona race on his own team with all-Japanese drivers. Surely he will start to find one to form his lineup at 24-hour races.

Missed a lot of stuff in this thread, but how does every single team's livery look as of today?

I like it a whole lot. If for no other reason than almost guaranteeing we'll have D'Station commercials on Super GT again:

Pachinko and slot machines! They're one of two such companies in Super GT - the other is ZENT, long-time title sponsor of Lexus Team Cerumo.

That livery is for the Super Taikyu (ST-X class, for FIA GT3 cars) series. For Super GT version, the livery consists of mostly green and white.

I'm relieved as well having seen #12 Team Impul still retains classic Calsonic blue livery.

Wow - christmas came early from Nissan, two days earlier than expected in fact!

Just awesome news all around. Jann would have been driving a Calsonic GT-R in Gran Turismo 5 a few years ago. Now he's driving it for real. That's the stuff of fairy tales.

Hopefully the Yokohama tires can be competitive as the #24 looks to have Nissan's best driver pairing (the very fast Oliveira paired with the dynamite Sasaki). That might be the best driver lineup in Super GT.

"Yuji Ide, Bentley Boy." For some reason, it just sounds right.

FUJIのSPORT走行枠を使った走ってますから

全然シークレットになってないんですがw

本日M6GT3かる〜く走らせました。

今期のドライバーはまだ決まっていないので

今日のテストは荒聖治に担当してもらい

オートサロンの走行後

バラバラにしたM6GT3を組み上げての

テスト走行

2017MODELへのアップデートは

来週以降に到着するので

まだ2016MODELそのまんまです。

一般車も一緒に走っているので

常に全開には出来ませんが

とりあえずチェックしたかった項目は

無事に確認出来たのでOK♪

あとは信頼性アップの為の

アップデートパーツの進化を信じ

頼みの綱のBOP（性能調整）を祈り

ADVANと一緒に闘っていくのみですっ！

まだ体制発表会やってませんが(^_^;;;

今年も応援宜しく御願い致しますっ！！！

We have carry out the M6 GT3 "secret" test at Fuji today.
Our driver is not decided yet. So today's test was in charge of Seiji Ara.
2017 update kit will arrive after next week. So it is still 2016 model.
However today's test was done in successful. Several matters could be confirmed.
The thing we can do is only to wait for an update kit and to expect good BoP.
We challenge with ADVAN tires.
Please take care of our support also this year.
