NOB Taniguchi says that SGT should introduce one-make tire system.
https://ameblo.jp/nob-taniguchi/entry-12547557301.html

"I personally prefer one-make tire system.
If you compete under the same conditions, you will see your true ability, and if you win, you will be happy, if you lose, you will be disappointed.
However, at present, everyone will only make excuses.
I would like to introduce a bidding system in SGT and to shuffle tire manufacturers every 3 years.
Well, some teams (BS user? ) don't like it, but I think it's more fun and rewarding to have proper competition."

About Team LeMans,
There was a rumor that Team LeMans wanted to use Yoshiaki Katayama (Team owner's son) for Super Formula.
So there seemed to be a dispute between the team and Toyota.
However, I don't think that would lead Team LeMans to split with Toyota.

And there is a rumor of feud between Team LeMans (its parent company Okayama International Circuit) and Toyota.
Toyota's junior driver, Kazuto Kodaka, had a trouble with the Okayama International Circuit.
OIC refused his Okayama round F3 entry in this June.
There seems to be some trouble between OIC and Kodaka.

However, this seems to be far from the reason for the separation between Toyota and Team LeMans.

Hoping that the fued between Team Le Mans and Toyota will be resolved. Otherwise, the champion might jump ship to another manufacturer.

NOB Taniguchi highly commends dream race.
https://ameblo.jp/nob-taniguchi/entry-12548429680.html

Taniguchi says that the good points of dream race should be introduced into the SGT.
*Tire should be controlled (one-make tire).
*It's better that start procedure is DTM style.
*It's better that re-start procedure is DTM style.
*It's better that You can pit in during the SC.
*A mandatory pit window should be defined.

Silly season twitter rumor.
Katsumasa Chiyo won't sell his original goods at NISMO Festival unlike usual years.
So there is a rumor that he might split with Nissan next season.

If any of that materialise, there will be no SGT, it's going to be another stupid dtm circus-show.

So basically about 1.66 million USD for a non-running car. That's basically LMP1 money a few years ago. Also about what a Porsche RS Spyder retailed for from 2006-09.

Autosport web reports GT500 silly seson rumor.
https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/546963?all

*Team LeMans will quit GT500 activity.
The team will switch the category to GT300.
*The number of Toyota GT500 cars in 2020 has not changed.
Therefore, the new team or the existing team will have two cars run.
*In addition to Daisuke Nakajima and Jenson Button, one more driver leaves Honda's GT500. So there are 3 vacant seats available.

Autosport web reports Ryoji Hitotsuyama (Hitotsuyama racing) interview on joint participation for dream race.
https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/547244?all

*The collaboration with WRT is for future GT500 participation.
*In 2021, they may be able to participate in GT500 by AUDI.
*However, the problem is operational costs.
On the other hand, if they clear the problem, he thinks that they can bring AUDI RS5 DTM to Japan.

Without engine and aero development? Only if Audi drops DTM as AutoHebdo speculates.

According to Takehiko Morozumi tweet,
GTA had issued a bulletin to ban the installation of a fuel storage chamber behind the fuel flow meter in late September.
Perhaps this might be a banned engine technology of Nissan.
