According to BOB Suzuki blog:
It's seems that M6 GT3 encounter some problem in Fuji 500km race. ラウンド2 第3スティント #3GT-Rそして#65LEON AMGに オーバーテイクされた荒から悲痛な無線が届く 「これで目一杯なんですよ」 誰も手を抜いてるなんて思ってない。 荒の技量も疑ってない。 路気温の下がってきた第3スティントで 我々のM6GT3はバランスを崩した。 一時は4位、いや3位が見えた。 でも、それはトラブル直前の第2スティントの話 結局終盤にペースが掴めず 僕らは7位でフィニッシュした。 何かが足りない このままでは去年の二の舞 #55ARTAさんの苦悩を見ても、それは確実 BMWの看板背負ったチームがこれじゃいけない。 わかってる! でもGT3はレギュレーションで改造不可 もどかしい でも今は、その問題点をミュンヘン本社に報告し ただただその対策を待つしか方法はない。 本当に応援有難うございました。 来年までには必ず改善して BMW Motorsport F13M6GT3を 勝てるマシンに変貌させます。 http://lineblog.me/studiebob/archives/9276543.html @Japanese Samurai (Sorry I am not urging you , i just share your opinion) Can you help me to translate the article as shown above in bold words please??? |

Round 2
In the 3rd stints, we had been overtaken by #3 GTR and #65 LEON AMG. Ara says "This is my limit" by air. No one doubt he is getting lazy. No one doubt Ara's driving technique. Our M6GT3 lost the balance in the 3rd stint from which the road surface temperature fell. We were aiming at 4th or 3rd position in the 2nd stints before the trouble. However, we can't competitive in the final stage of the race, and we have finished in the 7th position. We lack something. This is like last year's failure is just repeated. #55 ARTA was also struggling in this race, so this is certainly. We are BMW Sports Trophy team. So this result isn't accept. Yes, I know it. However, in GT3, remodeling is not admitted. So I'm very frustrating. The only thing we can do now is to hand a problem down to Munich and wait for a measure. Thank you very much for cheering us. We'll improve BMW Motorsport F13M6GT3 to a winnable car by next year. |

Sven Mueller (#33 D'Station Porsche) will be replaced by Andre Couto at Round 3,4,5, because of date clash with ADAC GT Masters race whom Mueller will participate. Previously, at pre-season test, Andre Couto also tested the car.

At this season, Super GT official website has special contents about Q&A with every Super GT Team Director (only in Japanese). So far, there are 4 directors who are already interviewed & surely more to come. I suggest everybody to stay updated on the Super GT website.

Any news on the replacement race for GT500 cars? Also, will JAF-GT300 cars be included in next year's Suzuka 10 Hours?

No announcement yet.
Yes. But it will be one-make tire race. So GT300 cars can't compete with FIA-GT3 cars under perfect conditions. |

That should help Honda, but somehow I think it's going to be a Lexus show up front with the Honda close thanks to low success ballast.

Don't overlook Nissan, who've won here 4 out of the last 5 years they've raced at Autopolis, swept the GT500 podium in 2014 and took a double 1-2 in 2015.

I don't know if they're going to be on the pace. They looked nowhere near the pace of the Lexus at the previous rounds. I hope it's a close race though.
