Meanwhile, I think ARTA should change brands to BMW after winning GT300 with their M6 GT3 at Fuji! Also, that on-board camera with Subaru BRZ was the main highlight for Round 5 so I'm hoping that J-Sports will show more on-board cameras for other cars.
I agree that ARTA should changed to BMW !!!! Meanwhile I hoped ARTA will won GT300 CHAMPION in this year!!!!

Oliveira now passes Kogure, Lyons, and Michigami for career GT500 wins with his 9th.

Takagi re-takes sole possession of 2nd in career GT300 class victories with his 17th.

Nissan extends their record of what is now four consecutive GT500 wins to open a season.

@rjoconnell
I'll be surprised if Nissan made a complete sweep for this year's season! Of course, the likes of Honda and Lexus are planning to dethrone them at Suzuka and the remaining races.

I didn't pay attention to it but I guess it was a joke as the Brazilian shooter guy lost the gold in the very last minute

On round 2(the first Fuji race), there was a great onboard with Chiyo passing on the outside of Coca Cola:
https://youtu.be/iP-ffiwff38?t=1h33m20s

There are lot's of onboards on this video, I'm just not sure if they were on the live broadcast or edited into this youtube uploaded one. A small one with Oliveira:

This one is a 2015 Qualifying full lap onboard, at Fuji, with Rossiter

On this channel, you'll find great SGT and SF onboards

*About pre-qualifying session
Pre qualify session would be introduced into only GT300 class.
The subject is the previous year's lower rank team and new participation team.
The outline of pre-qualify will be explained to the entrants in the Suzuka round.

According to Autosport web,
Drago Modulo (#15) had been hit by GT300 car (#360?).
Motul NISMO(#1) had a gearbox trouble in the first part of Matsuda's 2nd stint(!).
As for Keeper Tom's (#37), rear wing stay broke in the main straight line, and rear wing blew off. (wing stay is unified parts)

Wow I must be skipped that scene. The live streaming simply showed the #15 already with tyre puncture. Probably the Super GT+ video will reveal how that happened.

Anyone knows last time of the same thing happened at Super GT? I think it's the first one with unified regulation.

Of those three new options, I really like the last one for the spectacle alone.
I think returning to Sepang (as proven circuit) will be the most realistic one, the race can replace the Fuji 300km to avoid the same circuit held multiple races at one season.

Can I also say that Yuya Motojima had one absolutely great drive today? Drove the maximum 2/3rds distance, led before pitting, and helped Team Taisan get their first points since returning to the series. Mardenborough would be my hands-down ROTY pick so far, but Motojima is making the case to at least be 2nd in the voting.

The Calsonic car only had 12kg ballast, so I think it was a conclusion they'd be winning without any other GTR challenging. I think this season has played to Nissan thanks to their engine mostly. Next season will be different if Honda and Lexus realize that Nissan basically has a bespoke gt500 engine. Can't wait for Suzuka and to see the new Lexus LC GT500!

It says it's Onboard+ because it's from the onboard broadcast.

The deal seems to be that the Japanese production doesn't have the infrastructure to relay the onboards back live, so they're recorded and then used for rebroadcast. For a while now Subaru has been doing their own live onboards using the internet instead of the usual expensive system (first for dealership live viewings, later on Ustream), which they ran on the TV broadcast this week.
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/89908701 (jump to around 29m)

It's worth remembering that compared to much of the rest of the world Super GT and Super Formula have pretty small audiences for headlining series with live TV broadcasts.

Team Studie (#7) BOB Suzuki expresses frustrating feeling in his blog.

It's very Difficult
http://lineblog.me/studiebob/archives/5771365.html

I have a feeling that I have to tell the truth.
But there is a lot of political ties.
There is a information that I should not send to you.
And there is also information that is not transmitted to the accurate, if I expressed in the words.
I can say only a word. It is...
Something that #7 (Studie) does not have, #55 (ARTA) had.
Only it's certain.
I don't have something. I don't have it.
At least, now I don't have it.
I don't have it too.
I don't have a luck. I don't have (a luck).
I'm really sorry to the people who supported us.
I don't have a luck.

Man, I feel that Team Studie should have factory support to have equal footing with ARTA.

@carbsmith
By the way, I wonder if it's expensive to have the necessary equipment to show on-board cameras during the live race instead or recording it?

And speaking of a small audience, let's not forget that Super GT is competing with baseball and football (or soccer) plus some variety shows here and there.

Because (#55) ARTA have the experience gain in the 3 years of JAF GT300 hybrid machine which is Honda CR-Z GT300. And BMW M6 GT3 is the brand new car and the Chief mechanic (Toshihiro Ichise 一瀬 俊浩) of (#55) ARTA BMW M6 GT3 have the experience to solved the problem that occurs frequently (especially reliability) for BMW M6 GT3 via his two year experiences in ARTA CR-Z GT

Honestly, JAF-GT300 hybrid is more unreliable than FIA-GT3 car

It was a reference to the previous interview of JP on Saturday. Jiro-san said then something about the Olympics and JP answered that even if he got pole that was not the gold medal yet. After the win on Sunday, it was.

It reminded me of the medals awarded for the winners in the Fuji Sprint Cup days. It was right at the time when Bernie was making his silly comments about medals for F1.

I think the biggest problem why SGT has much less notoriety than USA's racing, DTM.... is the time zone. The races are too early on Europe and too late on the Americas. It's only good for Asians and countries from Oceania.

@Artur
True, but if you want a night race which will benefit in the Americas and Europe, Japan will have to compete with baseball at that period since most of the games are aired late afternoon.

Speaking of medals, I think that goes to the person who made the fastest lap if that happened!

To be fair, the Asia-Pacific has the privilege of watching live Super GT races since you won't have to worry about time zone differences (unless your living in the East side of Oceania).

Putting aside time zones, that kind of equipment comes from the TV production company and the TV broadcast is in Japanese in Japan. On like the 4th tier channel for the broadcaster at that.
