@rjoconnell

I think Chiyo will enter Blancpain GT Series. That's all

Speaking about NSX GT3's

CarGuy (strongly possible), Drago Corse ,UPGARAGE, a team by Yuji Ide

For Drago I bet they don't have any money to participate SUPER GT unless they partner with another team

For UPGARAGE , if they want to used NSX GT3 they better divorced with Team Bandoh first because they officially switch to NSX GT3.

By the way , I want to ask you about a team by Yuji Ide , its that is that Team TTO is his team or not?

I wonder if that foreign Lexus driver will be Jose Maria Lopez or someone else driving in their lmp1's?

According to F1-stinger website (by Masami Yamaguchi),
paddock rumor says that Button will participate in GT500 from new team which have been launched by the company related to Honda.

With some existing rumors which mention some new drivers at Honda, I think it's make sense for an additional car. You can't simply throw 2017 drivers for newcomers.

Also, I have never seen 16 GT500 cars on the grid after 2008 season.

I agree. Wonder whether that means a new team or the return of Dome?

On another site I read that WTCC will drop their rules for TCR in 2018/19 then go to class 1 in 2020. Anything anyone else heard on what the cars will be like? I sure hope they drop the DTM look.

According to Wada-Q (#22) blog,
Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 can't participate in GT300 next season by SGT regulations.
Team RQ's is working hard for next season.
Their target is to be commended at SGT HEROES 2018 party.

Any other pictures of this car? Have you seen it before it was deleted? I wonder if it is the same or an updated version of the white LC we saw early this year at Fuji.

1 - Hirakawa/Cassidy
6 - Oshima/Rosenqvist
19 - Sekiguchi/Yamashita
36 - Nakajima/Kobayashi
38 - Tachikawa/Ishiura
39 - Kovalainen/Kunimoto

I'm not completely in the loop with the ins and outs of Super Gt, so forgive me for asking- but is Rosenqvist a big surprise to anyone else?

Not undeserved though, but thought he'd be chasing a Euro factory deal
