According to Motorsport channel (Japanese mobile phone website),
the number of participating teams of GT500 will decrease next year. (team KRAFT? MOLA?)
However, the number of participating car of GT500 does not change.

I have a feeling that DTM teams would out number the GT500 teams in 2014, unless DTM teams are changed into a two-driver squad instead of a one-driver works team.

According to team Bandoh's blog,
-all Lexus teams except Bandoh will use BS tires next year.
-Team Bandoh cannot use the latest aero parts in various factors.
-They spent 550 million yen (including chassis budjet) to participate in GT500 in these two years.

I don't know. But it seems that TRD does not desire it.
It is because team Bandoh is not works team, true privateer.

So he gets last year's parts? They also run Yokohama, according to what you linked to, they will be the only Lexus without Bridgestones. I guess that plays a part in that the factory teams will all complement eachother with the tire development.

I wish they would retain the EVA-01 livery... It would look so good on the MP4-12C GT3!

So I guess they'll stick to EVA-00 colors for now. But still, I wonder if GAINAX can sponsor Mooncraft in the future, like they would put the EVA-01 colors back or don the Gurren Lagann colors for a rule of awesome!
