Technological disclosure of NRE engine would be argument.
NRE is one of the core technology of Japanese motorsport industry. However, DTM manufacturers don't like to use money on NRE development. Without technical disclosure, DTM would not introduce NRE. |

It's interesting that he chose to show off the red fish, I suspect a certain Impul team won't be happy with that choice!

DTM want to disclose technology regarding the Nippon Racing Engine, but they won't spend on developing it? That's so weird!

Bandoh says that Japanese manufacturers would like to do technical competition, but German manufacturers would like to race by equal condition.

Lexus dominated qualifying for the second Super GT round on its home turf in Fuji, with the #38 Zent Cerumo squad taking pole position for the season’s second longest race.

Autosport web reports the weak point of Nissan and Honda.
http://www.as-web.jp/supergt/116527?all Nissan GT-R There is a problem in sector 1 time. (inferior in engine power) Honda NSX-GT Vamping in the braking time. And rear tire doesn't grip. When these are canceled by set up, it'll be an understeering. |

Reports from SGT World:
https://supergtworld.wordpress.com/2...d-career-pole/ https://supergtworld.wordpress.com/2...dsmile-racing/ This is Tachikawa's 9th career pole at Fuji (most all-time), 22nd career pole in total (most all-time), and with the bonus point, he's now the third driver to score 1,000 career championship points (M. Nitta, S. Motoyama are the other two). #360 RunUp GT-R had a hard crash in practice, last update is that it was in transit to Tomei Sports' garage in Oyama near the circuit. They're what we'd call a "game time decision" in American football terms to take the start on Thursday, from 29th on the grid if they do so. Unfortunately, the #50 INGING/Arnage Ferrari has withdrawn before Wednesday practice, the damage from Okayama too great to be repaired in time for the 500km. |

GT500 is a little closer than rd.1 and gt300 has a really close battle with the top 5 or so cars.

Double victory for Lexus! The LC500s look pretty untouchable at least for now. Both Nissan and Honda have a lot of ground to make up.
Also, double puncture for GSR Mercedes lost them a chance at a win. |

Lexus was so dominant today in Round 2, both GT500 and GT300!
Sucks that Goodsmile Racing was not their day after getting that Pole Position. |

Race day press conference by GTA Masaaki Bandoh Part.2
http://supergt.net/news/single/17040 Q. If it'll be one sided race in GT500, does GTA consider a measure like BOP? A. No. Super GT is a competition race. So I only say "Do your best." to the rival manufacturers. |

4 career Fuji 500km victories, 8 career wins in total at Fuji - and now back in a tie for the all-time GT500 wins lead.
If Craig Lowndes is the master of the big mountain in Australia right now, Yuji Tachikawa is the master of Mount Fuji. |

According to Dr. Takamori (#48) blog,
He had got a hair transplantation personally. His hair increases every round like JAF-GT300 update. https://ameblo.jp/s-tai/entry-12270606381.html |

Double victory for Lexus must be nice at their home track! This is the first victory for the RC F GT3 in Japan as well, coming after a double Lexus victory in GTOpen last week! Looks like their car is on a roll, maybe it can challenge in IMSA?
