@bella, Japan is not a bad direction for Lynn. Super GT, GT300 class looks massively better than few years back. @Samurai, how could Sekiguchi got "lower quality" parts, is it not all manufactured by Dallara?

No details.
But in technical regulations, it's possible to exchange chassis parts only by vehicle supplier (Dallara) except for a certain parts (on-board camera, radio etc). According to Sekiguchi, it was a clearly low quality parts so that it appeared in the data logger. |

I reread tech regulations. It's possible to remodel/change several parts.
It might be a damper. Damper can be remodeled. JAF will post English version 2017 tech regulations PDF file on its website soon. Then I will link its address on this thread. Wait for it. |

As Nicolas Dura has pointed out, Red Bull almost did something like this back in 2008 when they thought about setting up a Formula Nippon team for Filipe Albuquerque and Adrian Zaugg.

Somebody on Super GT Series thread said Hirakawa became Red Bull sponsored athlete. Is there any possibility in him taking over a Toyota ride in Super Formula?

Granted, I've long been of the opinion that Hirakawa is an F1-caliber driver. He's certainly going to make waves in LMP1 if Toyota gives him even a third car for Le Mans. |

That's cosmic to see Gasly racing in the category, look what it did to Vandoorne. Main problem is the lack of seats in F1

Regarding the 2nd seat at Sunoco Team LeMans, it's now come to light that along with Antonio Felix da Costa, Sergey Sirotkin is now also in the running.
