Secret answer for ARTA M6 (#55) ARTA M6 participate for this season is Ex-HubAuto M6 GT3 car . And we will expected that participation number of M6 GT3 is increased to 3 cars if ARTA M6 (last year one that heavily damaged in the last season of Motegi) is repair successfully and they update to 2017 model then ARTA will sell to other race team. |

Great to see Nismo taking a new approach with the Motul Autech livery haha
That Mark X looks fantastic. Thanks for the pictures of the APR Prius engine bay, I've found in SGT that those types of pictures are hard to come by. |

Tony Taka - the one "artist" who I didn't want to see on the GSR AMG. Although I am surprised he didn't draw exactly the same face like he does for all his illustrati- oh, wait.
It was already posted in the single seater forum (and has been known for at least a week), but Tadasuke Makino will be in the European F3 Championship with Hitech Racing. If anyone doubted that Honda rate him highly, there won't be anymore. |

But I agree with you, the Hatsune Miku design this year is underwhelming. Tony's trademark face is dull and not particularly vibrant or pretty. |

It's three-tenths slower than the GT500 lap record, set by a 2016 RCF GT500.

Pretty close with the big reduction in downforce and the fact it's preseason testing. By the time Motegi comes around on the calendar, they'll probably be just as fast or faster than 2016.
