But now, there are no guarantees to which Calsonic returns.
Speaking about this topic , This justification is same as LEXUS TEAM SARD in 2009 season as Dunlop SARD SC430 which Denso is the main sponsor of SARD but in 2009 their main sponsor is changed to Dunlop due to the reason above. But SARD Racing has the new main sponsor added in 2012 season which is Kobelco.

DUNLOP SARD SC430 , but Denso continue to sponsor SARD racing in 2009 season



DENSO KOBELCO SARD RC F

True, but it might potentially confuse with Kondo Racing and their Forum Engineering sponsor livery.

@Japanese Samurai
Which means that Mother Chassis repair fee is more expensive than GT3 race machine as compared to Nissan GT-R GT3 or any European car right?

Could be the fact the car is carbon chassis? How are spare supplies? That stuff can be attributed to the cost.

Autosport magazine's GT500 rumor
*Kamui Kobayashi will be the 3rd driver of Lexus.
*Kazuki Nakajima will comeback to SGT regular driver (Team Tom's?) along with WEC activity.
*Jann Mardenborough will step up to GT500.
*Yokohama might increase GT500 user team (for Honda?).

For Bentley Continental GT3 and Mother chassis Mark-X , I guess the machine user will be the new team. As for NSX GT3 , it seems the next season does not have NSX GT3

then I see the page of the book is related to GT500 rumor , I see that there is Jenson Button might participate GT500 for next season.

As for Lexus GT500 team , No changed for the driver in #37 ,#38 and #39 , but #36 might have Kazuki Nakajima as for #6 and #19 car , the driver might swapped the seat with Caldarelli and Sekiguchi . For Nissan GT500 #1 and #46 driver pairing no changed, Jann Mardenborough step up to GT500 either to IMPUL team or Kondo Racing , I bet Mardenborough will be in IMPUL team as CALSONIC will end the sponsor with IMPUL team.

As for Honda GT500. only #17 driver pairing no changed , but the other driver lineup is very confusing.

@Japanese Samurai(sorry i m not urging you)
Can you please create the rumor list for the GT500 participation for next year and the example is shown as below , as shown to the magazine link below???

http://www.as-books.jp/books/preview.php?no=4481

Example:
#33 Hankook KTR - GT3R - Kageyama(Annouced?)/Fuiji(Possible)
#34 Hankook KTR - GT3RS -
#43 ARTA - Garaiya - Takagi(Strong possible)/Kobayashi(possible)
#61 R&D Sport - BRZ - Sasaki/Yamano(Both Strong Possible)
#62 R&D Sport - BRZ?Legacy? - Sasaki/Yamano(Both Strong Possible)
#66 A Speed - Aston Martin - Yoshimoto(Annouced?)/Hoshino(Possible)
#86 JLOC - Gallardo - Sakemoto/Aoki(Both Annouced?)
#87 JLOC - Gallardo - Yoko/Orido(Both Strong Possible)
#88 JLOC - Gallardo - Hiroyuki/Sekiguchi (Both Possible)
#360 Tomei Sport - Corvette - Tanaka/Okamura(Both Strong Possible)

Yes. That was the rumor that everyone knows, so I omitted.

The overall breakdown of these driver flowcharts, as I understand it from what my eyes can see in the itty bitty preview images:

#1 Denso LC: Kovalainen/Hirate
#6 Wako's LC: Oshima/Caldarelli or Oshima/Sekiguchi
#19 WedsSport LC: Sekiguchi/Kunimoto or Kunimoto/Caldarelli
#36 au LC: Ito/Cassidy or Kazuki Nakajima/Cassidy
#37 KeePer LC: Rossiter/Hirakawa
#38 ZENT LC: Tachikawa/Ishiura
with Kobayashi a possible third driver for every team

#12 Impul GT-R: Yasuda/Oliveira or Yasuda/Mardenborough
#23 Motul GT-R: Matsuda/Quintarelli
#24 Forum Eng. GT-R: Sasaki/Yanagida, Sasaki/Oliveira or Sasaki/Mardenborough
#46 S Road GT-R: Motoyama/Chiyo

#8 ARTA NSX: Matsuura/Nojiri or Matsuura/Makino(?)
#16 Mugen NSX: Any combination of Yamamoto, Mutoh, Daisuke Nakajima, and/or Button
#17 Keihin NSX: Tsukakoshi/Kogure
#64 Epson NSX: Daisuke Nakajima/Baguette or ???/Baguette
#100 Raybrig NSX: Yamamoto/Izawa or Yamamoto/???

It's the two drivers without pictures that are in the Honda diagram that I'm having trouble figuring out who they are from the preview images.

Button has pretty much said he won't do a full race programme next year. But he is tempted by the Suzuka 1,000 Kms.

Was this confirmed on that AUTOSPORTweb talk show today with all the Super GT champions?

Tsuchiya had said this back in October when announcing his retirement from full-time retirement, but further confirmation is always good.

Thanks, Samurai. From what I'm reading on JP twitter, it also sounds like they'd be open to going back to GT500 in the future.

And goodness, a lineup of Matsui and Yamashita will be scary good, with the Tsuchiya family on the pitbox carrying on with their aggressive strategies.

Looking forward to this new combination of #25 VivaC Team Tsuchiya squad. With now Takeshi-san focuses on technical side, and Matsui-san already experienced with MC car (now partnered with 2016 Japanese F3 champion), it should be promising.

Also, hopefully more MC cars will be more competitive next year, besides #25. Really glad Mother Chassis cars are able to join more established JAF-GT cars (BRZ, Prius) to display intense battle between local and foreign cars again.

I hoped this non liveried BMW M6 GT3 will participate the next season of SUPER GT by the other team.
