Team Studie BOB Suzuki blog contains a controversial episode.
He is quoting a BMW M6 GT3 promotional movie by BMW Motorsport.
Surprisingly, NO Super GT activity in that movie.
Suzuki says that Super GT doesn't exist in the world seen from Munich.
And he says Super GT is "a Galapagos island."
Is he saying the truth or is it just sour grapes?

For the sake of their future in the series, I hope it's the latter one. If they plan to do class 1, then hopefully they don't view Super GT as a remote island

Thanks a lot! Very interesting! And in auto-sport article from Sepang tests it's written that these tyres have been already used on FR cars?

Probably a mere of sour grapes. I've just seen the video, actually not all races (which have M6 GT3 on the field) are covered on the video.
I think the selected races from each continents are well-represented as a "global race".

If BMW makes that video again for 2018 racing season, hopefully they include Suzuka 10hr race.

So it means that Tsuboi is likely stay (#51) JMS LM CORSA RC F with Yuichi Nakayama for next season.

While Yamashita is likely to replaced by Tsubasa Kondo (3rd driver of the team) for the next season in VIVAC TEAM TSUCHIYA.

While Akira Iida will step up as the Team Director for OTG LM Corsa (#60)

Hi, I'm quite interested regarding "dealer teams" in GT300 class. I see some teams (#30 apr, #52 Saitama Toyopet GB, #51 & #60 LM Corsa) source their mechanics (some, if not all) from respective dealerships. But there are some details which still quite vague for me :

For #2 Cars Tokai Dream28, are the mechanics also sourced from its dealership (Honda Cars Tokai or Lotus Japan) or working as a standalone team staff?

For #51 LM Corsa, I learned that LM Corsa is ran under OTG (Osaka Toyopet Group) Motorsports but at some cases I saw the photo of staffs / mechanics from #51 have "Corolla Yamaguchi" logo on the overalls. Is that because the car maintained by Inging Motorsports?

Sorry for slightly out topic.

About broadcasting rights of Super GT.
https://twitter.com/MIAmotorsport/st...05480528683010
https://twitter.com/NorthHertsSam/st...06271712874501

Sam says that Nismo.tv is the future style of motorsports live coverage.
But I think NISMO.tv is just a trial period to sell broadcasting rights to foreign countries.
GTA is eager to sell broadcasting rights.
That's the only way for GTA to escape from manufacturer's money dependence.
What do you think everyone?

Make their own Youtube channel to broadcast live Super GT races and archive them.

Oh, and have either English or Japanese commentary too. Then again, the former will be used more than the latter.
