In actuality, it's just a Supra in name. The cars aren't based off the road ones anymore since they're using a spec tub and all.

According to motorsport.com,
Kogure won't participate in GT300 class this year.
And CarGuy is unlikely to participate in GT300.

On this Asian Le Mans Series season, currently CarGuy Racing (GT class) is on the top of the standings with significant points lead (they won all 3 races so far, just 1 race left).

The class champion will be granted an entry to 24 Hours of Le Mans. I wonder if the team diverts its commitment to Le Mans race.

@Japanese Samurai

Well i think Kogure still contracted with Honda right even he did not participate in SUPER GT?

Yes, Kimura said last year that his goal was the Le Mans 24 and that Super GT participation was to acquire experience so it makes sense that he would not continue after he's got the entry through Asian LMS.

From his statements I think he won't be at Super GT for long term. To be competitive at GT300 you need all Pro drivers, while each of Asian LMS and LM24 have a category for Pro-Am drivers.

The Gt500 Supra and Gt300 Prius both look like they'd swallow you whole.

jp.motorsport.com reports that joint events will be held at Fuji in Japan.
After that it is likely to be held alternately between Fuji and Suzuka every other year.

Honda is eager to continue participating in SGT in MR vehicles in 2020.
Masashi Yamamoto told to jp.motorsport that they are negotiating with GTA to add MR in 2020 regulations.
At the moment, they will participate by MR vehicle in 2020.

According to Autosport web,
CarGuy's reason for not participating in SGT is not tough financial, but Kimura's personal schedule (He is a CEO of real estate corporation).

Sad to hear that CarGuy won't return to Super GT. Maybe next year, they'll be back.

Their Yokohama tires didn't seem to be nearly as good as the Bridgestone ones on the K-Tunes RC F. I don't think the driver disparity is the difference between the two in pace. Hopefully Dunlop will give better pace.

It seems that Masahiro Hasemi will be absent from Nissan's official presentation.
Judging from this, Motoyama might become team principal of B-Max NDDP.
