I really wish the two Fuji rounds were on different layouts.

rjoconnell · 29 Jul 2016, 13:29 (Ref:3661841)

Exact same venues and races in the exact same order as it was set in 2016 before a bad thing happened in Kumamoto.

The May 4/Golden Week classic, the Fuji 500km, is held on a Thursday this year.

To paraphrase 50's singer Lloyd Price, "Super GT's got...con-ti-nu-i-ty!"

Well, it would be nice if Toyota rebuild the classic banked turn so that both Fuji rounds have different layouts!

Matt · 29 Jul 2016, 14:46 (Ref:3661851)

Nah. Just run one as current and the other without the chicane at the end of the back "straight."

BTW, will this new Blancpain Asia Championship affect Super GT? (via Sportscar 365)

I think this race will affect GT Asia Series not SUPER GT. (I hoped so)
Because SUPER GT has multiple tire manufacturer while Blancpain Asia Championship does not

and I really wish we had only 1 event at Fuji(actually I would scratch Fuji from the calendar as I hate the layout but I know that possibility is completely unreal, given the tradition and fame of the track). I would replace the other with Sepang which shouldn't have left the calendar

Actually, what I most wish for SGT is that it's calendar had some 4 extra races. Too few events spread out throught the year.....

Most Super GT drivers are already double-enrolled in Super Formula, All-Japan F3, Super Taikyu, and they might want to go race at Le Mans sometime. 8-9 races is totally fine.

At 1998 & 1999, some of Nissan drivers had to be absent at 1 JGTC race because the date clash with the test at 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Maybe the first priority is to make Super GT, Super Formula & Super Taikyu and other local races don't clash each other and then adjusting it to 24 Hours of Le Mans schedule, therefore the long gap between 3rd and 4th race

Then how about FIA-GT3 BOP???

I found the articles is related to FIA-GT3 car for Fuji round.

クイックなコーナリングと、ピットストップ時間の短さが武器だったJAF-GT車両にとっては速さを抑制する方向での性能調整変更となるが、SUGO戦までの速さに対し、JAF-GT陣営内からも「レースの盛り上がりを考えると速すぎる」という声が出ていた。鈴鹿テストあたりから話が出ていた調整ではあるが、導入される富士でどういった戦力差になるのか、要注目だろう。

　また、ブランパンGTシリーズのBoPを採用しているGT3車両に対しても、第2戦とは異なるBoPテーブルが適用されている。第2戦と比較して軽減となっているのは、アウディR8 LMS（BoP＝5kg減）、ランボルギーニ・ウラカンGT3（BoP＝5kg減）、ポルシェ911 GT3 R（BoP＝15kg減）。

　一方、メルセデスベンツAMG GT3は車重が20kg軽くなっているが、リストリクターが第2戦＝36.0mm x 2から、第5戦＝34.5mm x 2となっている。また、最大過給圧もBMW M6 GT3、フェラーリ488 GT3は第2戦と数値が異なっている。

　第4戦SUGOではコース特性ともあいまって、JAF-GT勢が強烈な速さをみせてきたGT300。今後のシリーズの流れをうらなう上でも、大きな変更となるかもしれない。

But I can't understand that article without the BOP table.

Japanese Samurai(sorry I m not urging you, Just share the thought with us)
Can you please translate and explain the article as shown above there with bold text or the below the website there

I'm hearing talk that Honda will be back in GT300 next year.

NSX GT3 Hybrid?(using the same system 'Zytec' from the CR-Z GT300)

Because 2017 GT500 regulations will mostly be aero related. No drastic changes until 2018/19

Does anyone have these pics please? It seems the original has been deleted and I'm curious.

I'd be really surprised if they didn't race the RC F in GT3 next year, but it would be silly to homologate it only for a single year. I guess we'll find out by the BoP tests next month, but clearly they're not aiming for customers for next year with all their secrecy.

Edit: http://www.carscoops.com/2016/07/lex...ng-in.html?m=1 found it here, meh, looks ugly compared to the refined RC F to me, hope I get to see the current car race at least once.

Sharp!

The LC (GT)500 will be the worst-kept secret in the series for the next month or so, but my goodness, that LC-F looks utterly bonkers.

MagVanisher · 1 Aug 2016, 05:44 (Ref:3662757)

The Lexus LC-F will make the RC-F obsolete if that car raced in both GT500 and in GT3.

On the other hand, the LC-F has some subtle elements from the LFA.

Autosport magazine reports the rumor that Redbull might sponsor a GT500 team next year.
http://www.as-books.jp/books/preview.php?no=4271

rjoconnell · 2 Aug 2016, 16:18 (Ref:3663071)

Not the first time that Red Bull has at least been rumoured to sponsor a team in a major championship in Japan - word went around in 2008 that RB wanted to start up a Formula Nippon team, but it came to nothing.

Any team that lands Red Bull as a sponsor, man, that would be HUGE.
