Wondering why the K-Tunes switched to Dunlop tires? Was the Bridgestone tires price too high? Was it performance? They seemed great to me but I don't know the inside details like the team does.

Switching from the RC-F to MC86 at this point in time comes across as a very strange move.

Sorry for off topic.
Toyota sells junk science occult goods under the GR brand in Japan. It's GR Aero Stabilizing Body Coat. "This new body coating spray regulates the air flow just by spraying it to the body surface, and further enhances the aerodynamic characteristics inherent in the body shape." https://toyotagazooracing.com/jp/gr/grparts/bodycoat/ |

Yes.
Shamefully, SEV is very popular in Japan. SEV sells collaboration products with TRD. https://www.sev.info/ |
