But the GTA won't allow that to happen. Unless if they want to show Super GT to the world, I think it should be changed so that teams won't get penalized for seeing their cockpit.

It's just that the live feed does not show onboard for some reason. There are plenty of onboards and pit radio on cable and TV programs after the races and on the official DVDs. Actually there is a lot more to Super GT than the live feed on TV if you are in Japan, in term of post race analysis, drivers interviews etc. unfortunately I can't imagine that there is a way to get that out of Japan except for the occasional (and short lived) YouTube upload.

@banzailap, do you mean footage like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hogAMb3e4hg But all I come across on youtube are race uploads. Can you tell me if there are qualifying onboard laps shown anywhere in Japan? I only found this great one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fBegbmiKek |

Ito said they covered near 1000km each day. No times that I can find.

According to Tsutomu Tojo (Chief engineer of Team Tom's) blog,
This Sepang test schedule is total 4 days (Dec. 17-21). Today is one day break. They ran total 1,800km by 2 days. He says that they are testing as a representative of BS users. http://gazoo.com/my/sites/0001452434...t.aspx?ID=3506 |

Nissan 2016
Does anyone know anything about Nissan's line up?
Any truth to the rumour earlier on this threat that JP Oliveira and Quintarelli might swap seats? |

That'd be right out of left-field, and rather odd given the ill feeling between the respective teams. I know there is some fluidity to driver lineups within factory stables, but why ruin the successful relationships both drivers have built up with their current partners?
It would also be a new tyre brand for each to get used to, which counts for a lot given SGT's (GLORIOUS) tyre war. |

Judging from this tweet, Team Bandoh (#19) is testing at Sepang.
https://twitter.com/Fazrool_x534z/st...68432765956096 And Juichi Wakisaka is in Japan now. |

[OT] For those who missed Tsuneyuki Shimoda's scream at Super GT commentary, here is the match commentary of J1 League (Gamba Osaka vs Nagoya Grampus)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHk4gc8S3S4 Well, I don't know when he will return to Super GT.. FYI, Nagoya Grampus logo is already on #39 Denso Kobelco SARD RC F |

Bridgestone is a great company(unlike Dunlop/Yokohama which are from a lower tier) but it would maybe require some adapting and that could be tricky initially. |

I adjust this driver lineup to ensure the Nissan team is much more challenging as Nissan won GT500 champion consecutive for two times 2014 and 2015. And the Aerodynamics development of GT500 for 2016 season are same for the 2015 season one |

I agree that it would mix things up, but for that same reason I cannot see Nissan doing it. Why would they want to jeopardise their chances of success? |

to be honest Satoshi Motoyama's pace has been fading over the last seasons, so hard to see him pairing with Quintarelli

I think Matsuda/Quintarelli combination is already strong, so I'll expect the reshuffle on Nissan team at another team (Impul/Kondo Racing/MOLA). |

I think the fact the NISMO team is factory backed has a lot to do with them winning. Not just the Michelin tires. It is obvious when you see the Lexus get ballast, theyre not as good as the NISMO. Theres a lot of different RC F's winning, but just the NISMO or IMPUL for the GTR's.
