This 488 GT3 is owned by Tsuzuki Akihiro.
He is a son of Zent company owner. In a word, he is a special rich man. He would buy new chassis. |

Hmmmmmm..... I think .. this 488 GT3 can transfer to Team RQ's team. If Tsuzuki transfer to Team RQ's Team. Arnage Racing might cease participation for GT300 for next year , thus they can unified with Team RQ's as RQ's maintenance garage also Arnage Racing. How about your opinion?

Tsuzuki has a money to hire Pro-driver.
And Wada-q wants to drive by himself. So Tsuzuki won't have interest in joint participation with Team RQ's. |

Hmmmm... I am mistaken . I think Arnage Racing will use Honda NSX GT3 as well as the other Honda factory driver is hired to drive Arnage NSX GT3 if they switch to NSX GT3. How about your opinion? Last edited by AkioAsakura95; 21 Dec 2017 at 13:17. |

Arnage racing has a seed rights (A seed).
However, they don't have a money to buy new chassis by own, IMO. So joint participation is a must choice. |

That's the good opinion. And they can partner with Drago Corse to purchased NSX GT3 to participate SUPER GT of course they have the A seed rights advantages to participate all of the race. By the way , If B-MAX Racing team is stepping up to GT500 to replace Team MOLA , will team MOLA participate GT300 race with joint participation with other foreign car in gt300 team especially team studie???? In this case Team Studie can learn from Arnage Racing (joint participation) if they struggle to deal with the financial issues instead of cease participation of GT300. Moreover , NDDP Racing can find other sponsor as well with hiring Kiyoto Fujinami as the second driver and the main sponsor as well which is GTNET. How about your opinion? |

No GT300 rumor for Team MOLA so far.
If MOLA participate in GT300, they will be C group (non seeded team), IMO. And if Team Studie withdraw, they will sell seed rights (A seed) to new comer Team. About NDDP, I think Nissan will pay money to Team Gainer. |

I think Team Studie will not withdraw for the SUPER GT300 participation instead they will changed the organization structure , the driver lineup and the tyre maker too based on his blog. I think its make sense to changed their driver lineup that because Team Studie need to proved their team is the BMW official team despite their team is not the BMW factory team . If MOLA participate in GT300, they will be C group thus , this isn't worth for them for stepping down to GT300. So it's logically to partner with Team Studie for the joint participation for both parties in GT300 and they can also share the maintenance garage as well. I said that because Team MOLA company name is MOLA International which they need to globalized their company and their market as well. Note: MOLA is doing car engineering and also craft / sell HANS devices Hmm I think Team GAINER will participate two GTR GT3 with the different tyres maker. We will expected that they will retain Hiranaka , Wirdheim and Tomita for the GAINER driver lineup. How about your opinion? Last edited by AkioAsakura95; 22 Dec 2017 at 10:07. |

About Gainer,
I think one car will be operated by NDDP, the other car will be operated by Gainer itself. Gainer has tie with Dunlop, so Gainer will use Dunlop, and NDDP will choose Yokohama. If so, Tomita will lose his seat. However, problem is Nissan doesn't have a young talented driver to develop. And it is very interesting which team will use Evo car. |

There is a rumor that development of GTR Evo is delayed.
So there is a possibility of participating as non FIA/SRO homologated vehicle like RC F GT3. According to JP.motorsport.com, Susumu Yamashita (Mobilityland CEO) says that full grid entry (50cars) of Suzuka 10 hours race will be acheived. https://jp.motorsport.com/general/ne...%81%8B-990312/ |

Do these rumors include a reason why? It shouldn't be that hard to get an evolution ready in the time frame they've had to prepare it. |

@AoB Special Stage
About TRD USA This news doesn't mean extinction of the TRD brand. TRD USA company seems to be owned by Toyota motor sales USA. So this restructuring won't affected to TRD USA. About GTR GT3 Autosport magazine speculates "at least one car" will be delivered. Therefore I thought so. It's just my thought. @TF110 No time. Autosport web Sepang test (Dec. 18-22) report http://www.as-web.jp/supergt/190423?all Participation car: #093, #36, #19/ #23, #24/ #99, #16, #64 Participation driver (though not all): #99: Nojiri, Izawa, Tsukakoshi, Yamamoto, Button *Button participate on Dec.21, 22. *Button shared seat with Tsukakoshi and Yamamoto. #64: Matsuura, Baquette, Karthikeyan #24: Takaboshi Last edited by Japanese Samurai; 23 Dec 2017 at 00:03. |

Yep, this Racing Miku can't be this cute! Speaking of Good Smile Racing, I hope that they can participate again in the 24 Hours of Spa. |
