2017 Japanese Super GT - Page 23

Control tires is a huge step backwards imo. Way to ruin a classic event. I don't see many if any JAF GT cars showing up with this revelation.

rjoconnell · 8 Mar 2017, 00:46 (Ref:3717161)

One driver that won't be back on the Super GT grid this year is 2012 GT300 co-champion Naoki Yokomizo, who lost his ride at the now-defunct Lamborghini Team Direction after the 2016 season, which he described as "the worst of [his] career."

For 2017, he will focus on Super Taikyu and racing outside of Japan.

So true! I feel that only a handful of GT300 teams plus Super Taikyu ones will race in Suzuka.

Team Taisan SARD formally announces their 2017 programme. As mentioned earlier, Shinnosuke Yamada and Jake Parsons will drive the #26 Audi R8 LMS.

Hideki Noda will be the new team director, also maintaining the same role at defending champions Lexus Team SARD.

The team will move to Fukushima Prefecture in 2017, hoping to provide a much-needed boost to a state that is still reeling from the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and the ensuing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

Test livery
Super GT official test is held at Okayama (March 18,19) and Fuji (March 25,26).
However, we can't show you this season's color scheme because we don't announce 2017 participation plan yet.
Instead, we will show you exclusive livery for the test!
It looks like a pace car. FRO car is highlighted than our test livery.
Can't be helped. Sorry.
(I'm absent from Okayama test because of some business.)

良い活動だと思うし

せっかくのBMW Team Studie

もっと活用したいな、ってね。

I'm thinking about a future plan.
Now situation is also serious.
However, I'll think about the future.
I want to participate in another race series by M4GT4 besides GT300 activity.
It isn't decided concretely yet.
However, I want to compete in Super Taikyu GT4 class.
It may be lazy race different from Super GT.
However it has a meaning to compete.

@Japanese Samurai (Hoped you not hesitate to reply)
It means that Team Studie might participate Super Taikyu race or other race by using M4 GT4????

Is Team Studie continue to participate SUPER GT for the future as well or they withdraw???

Yes.

Studie won't withdraw from Super GT. GT300 is main activity for them.

rjoconnell · 13 Mar 2017, 13:24 (Ref:3718365)

That'd be great for Super Taikyu - especially given how the ST-Z class hasn't gotten any entries yet. I do expect that to change by the end of the season, though, GT4 is growing exponentially lately.

Japanese Samurai · 13 Mar 2017, 22:15 (Ref:3718460)

Naoki Yokomizo confirms that he won't participate in SGT this season on his blog.
He had a GT300 seat till December, but The Team itself had cease to exist in January (Team Direction?).
The choices of anyone but a pay driver weren't left for him at that time.
So he decided not to participate in SGT this year.
He will participate in Super Taikyu (from 3rd round), China GT and Blancpain Asia GT (Spot participation).

Here this is Secret Test in BOB Suzuki blog for nearly updated to 2017 specs in Fuji Speedway .

昨日、今日の二日間

極寒のフジスピードウェイでテストしてました。

前回トラブルで出来なかった

アップデータパーツのチェックと

タイヤマッチングが目的です。

しかしながら二日間とも天気が今ひとつ

ドライもウェット試せたぜっ！って

ポジティブに取ることも出来ますｗ

今週末は私は行けませんが

岡山で合同テストです！

みんなそれぞれアップデートしてきてたり

新車になってたり

初めて見るマシンがいたり

きっと観てるだけでも面白いですから

お時間ございましたら遊びに

いらして下さい！

来週末はフジです♪

GT300車両については、2016年チャンピオンのVivaC 86 MCは、今回のテストが今季初走行。ヘッドライトやテールランプが新しい86のものとなっているほか、新たにアルミのサイドステップが取り付けられているのをのぞくと、「精度を高めているほかはやっていない（土屋武士）」という。とは言え今回は松井孝允、山下健太、そして第3ドライバーとして起用される近藤翼という3人がドライブし、確実な手ごたえを得た様子。また、今季のBoPも見越したウエイトでの走行だったようだ。

　一方、Studie BMW M6は信頼性確保のための2017年用アップデートパーツを「80％くらい装着して」のテストだったとのこと。この日は荒聖治がノートラブルで周回を重ねている。ベストタイムはVivaC 86 MCが午後に1分36秒666をマーク。Studie BMW M6は37秒226というベストとなっている。

Japanese Samurai · 14 Mar 2017, 14:24 (Ref:3718562)

We have carried out the two days M6GT3 test at super-cold Fuji.
Update parts check and tire match up was the aim.
However, the weather was not completely satisfactory.
Positively saying, we could test both dry tire and wet tire.
This weekend is Okayama test. Next weekend is Fuji test.
Please come to the test by all means.

About GT300 cars, this was the first test for Vivac 86MC.
It equipped with new headlamp and tail lamp of new 86 and new aluminium side step. And it adds assembly accuracy enhancement.
Anything but that isn't different from 2016 spec 86MC.
This time, Takamitsu Matsui, Kenta Yamashita and Tsubasa Kondo drove the car.
It seems to have been the test which BoP ballast was loaded.
On the other hand,
Studie tested with update parts 80% equipped.
Seiji Ara drove the car with trouble free.

Best time was 1'36"666 by Vivac 86MC. 1'37"226 by Studie M6GT3.

AkioAsakura95 · 15 Mar 2017, 14:00 (Ref:3718816)

Hi there , It seems that Team Studie is preparing the full upgrade for 2017 specs for M6 GT3.

週末の準備

こうして段々とレースの話が多くなると

開幕の近さを感じられます。

週末のテストに向けての最後のチェック

そして、先日公開したテスト専用の

カラーリング施行作業も進めてます。

今期のカラーリングで挑むチームと比べると

かなーり寂しい様に見えますが

かえってテストっぽさが強調されて

良いかな、とも思えます（Alwaysポジティブ！）

ちょっとワケあってプレゼント用のポスターを

緊急製作ッ！

ドイツの方向けなので迷わず富士山チョイスw

Japanese Samurai · 15 Mar 2017, 14:14 (Ref:3718817)

We are preparing for weekend test.
There is a lot of talk which concerns a race, so I feel that there is a season start imminently.
We make a last check for weekend test.
And we have livery work exclusive for the test.
Other team will participate in the test with brand new livery.
Therefore our color scheme looks miserable.
However, I think characteristics of a test may be emphasized. (Always positive!)
We are making a poster for presents.
It was for Germany, so Mt. Fuji shot was chosen.

A logo of BMW Japan is stuck on the Studie M6GT3 from this year.
I think it's doubtful whether they can bring about results corresponding to that.

According to BOB-Suzuki blog for the Supercar for BMW and the future GT3 vehicle. (Semi-Out Topic)

Title: リアルスーパーカー

写真はHerbert Schnitzerさん自身のM1

大雨で水没してしまった愛車を

全バラしてレストア中の貴重な写真

さて、以前より噂のあったBMW M8の復活

最初のM8は1台きりのコンセプトカー

E31/8seriesにマクラーレンF1用に開発した

Sコードの12気筒載せた怪物

その名前が遂に2019年に復活しそうです。

i8の技術をふんだんに織り交ぜた

CARBONシャーシに

今よりもPOWERUPした

V8/4.4twinturboエンジン

出力は650〜700ps

車重は1500kg近辺だから化物です。

ライバルはフェラーリやマクラーレン

運動性能はそれらを上回るでしょう。

金額的には2000万の後半と予想します。

日本では3000万超える可能性も。

M6GT3下取りに出さないと買えませんｗ

つまりレースやめないと買えません。

レースやっててM8持ってないStudieと

レースやってないけどM8のデモカーあるStudie

どちらが魅力的ですかね？www

ココばなですが（英語じゃとても書けないw）

2020年からはコレベースのGT3になるって

噂もMotorsportの中には随分前からあります。

そしたらそれ買えばいいのか！

M6GT3下取りで

そうしたらM8(GT3だけど)持ってて

レースもやってるStudieになります。

そうしましょうwww

Real Supercar
Attachment photo is Herbert Schnitzer's M1.
This is the photo of restoring submerged car.

Next up is rumored revival of BMW M8.
First M8 was only one concept car.
It was a monster which put 12 cylinder engine for Mclaren F1 on E31/8 series chassis.
Its name seems to come-back in 2019.
It will loads V8/4.4 liters twin turbo engine into carbon monocoque.
Output is 650-700ps. Weight is about 1500kg. So indeed it's a monster.
Rivals are Ferrari and Mclaren. The kinetic performance would surpass those.
I expect the price as 25,000,000 yen over. 30,000,000 yen might be exceeded in Japan.
It's so expensive, so we must sell our M6GT3!
Studie which does the race, but doesn't have M8.
Studie which has M8 demo-car, but doesn't race.
Which Studie is more attractive?

Between ourselves, there is a rumor that base car of GT3 will be M8 from 2020 in BMW motorsport!
If so, I should buy it, by selling M6GT3!
By doing this, Studie has a M8, and Studie does race. It's good!

That's interesting!!!

But for my opinion, the M6 GT3 replacement might not M8 because M8 is too heavy and M8 is rival with Bentley Continental. And the M6 GT3 replacement will be debuted in 2019 due to the debut of the BMW GTE car in next year , and they might use this BMW GTE car convert to GT3 car to test the car for next year same as VLN race. (see below)

Speaking to the price for the M6 GT3 replacement I am not sure for that . But I hoped that race car is not exceed to 400,000 euro
