(see below)



Speaking to the price for the M6 GT3 replacement I am not sure for that . But I hoped that race car is not exceed to 400,000 euro

@TF110
Do you agree in this statement , if you all want to discuss this topic then please use this Thread to discuss about the M6 GT3 replacement .
http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...=148093&page=8
M6 replacement is going to be the M8, this is known.

Conti GT is a current GT3 car as well, so I don't see how it will be "too big and heavy" when everything is performance balanced and made of carbon fiber.

Now it would be nice if they ran two cars (will that ever happen?). One with the white livery and one with this new black livery.

I also think the Lotus would look great in the purple Evangelion livery.

I'm looking forward for that. Hiroki Katoh is a very great driver and IMO he needs teammate with equal performance (or professional driver) to get the most of the car, which I think difficult to happen with current lineup.

According to BOB-Suzuki blog for the Okayama test for the two articles as shown as below

First article:
Title: 去年と同じかっ?!

所用で参加出来ない岡山合同テスト

初日の昨日にまたもギアボックスのトラブル発生

去年の岡山テストも同様のトラブルで

2日目は走れなかった。

また今年もかっ?!と思ったが

御殿場から中古のギアボックスを赤帽で飛ばし

メカニックの徹夜の作業敢行し

何とか本日も走行出来ております。

ホッと一安心


http://lineblog.me/studiebob/archives/9267700.html

Second article:

Title: OKAYAMA TEST

JORGも参加した岡山テスト

今シーズン初のオフィシャル合同テスト

初日はミッショントラブルで

まともに走れなかったけど

メカニックと赤帽さん(笑)が

頑張ってくれたお陰で

二日目は無事に走行出来ました。

綺麗な路面になった岡山にしては

タイムは今ひとつでしたが

レースではないので

いかに収穫があった、かが大事

大丈夫っ!ありましたよ。

大きな収穫ッ!!!

来週のフジテストは僕も行きます。

ヨギーは来ませんw


http://lineblog.me/studiebob/archives/9267802.html

@Japanese Samurai (Hoped you not hesitate to reply)
Can you help me to translate this two article as shown as above in blod and underline article??? Thanks for your help.

This it the first article in the twitter:

ベントレー、それなりに周回重ねているけど上位に来る気配無いなあ(;´∀`)
そしてスタディーは安定のARTAより下という感じ(;´∀`)今年もBMW JAPANに現場をかき回されてるのかな?(;´∀`)?


https://twitter.com/u_t_a__/status/843018914179108864

This it the second article in the twitter:

S4結果。常時ARTAに比べ安定下位のスタディーM6は相変わらずのBMW JAPANのサポートという名前の足かせでもあるような状態?そして上位に挙がってくることの無かった重戦車的GT3ベントレー。全般 的に周回数も少な目で順調とは言い難い印象?

https://twitter.com/u_t_a__/status/843362563333148673

Okayama official test
We had a gearbox trouble in first day, yesterday.
This is the same trouble as last year's Okayama test.
However, used gearbox was delivered from Gotemba factory.
So we could participate in the 2nd day test thanks to mechanic (they worked all-night).
I have a tentative optimism.

Okayama test
We had a gearbox trouble in first day, so we couldn't run so much.
However, we could run in peace in 2nd day.
Although road surface was resurfaced, our lap time was not satisfactory.
But this is not a race, so time is not important.
Yes, we have a satisfactory test content result.
I'll go Fuji test next weekend, However Jorg Muller will be absent.

Bentley team have a constant laps. However their lap times are not competitive.
And Team Studie have not-so-great lap time as usual.
BMW Japan might disturb the team.

Session 4 result. Team Studie always trails behind Team ARTA.
They might have a systematic problem despite of BMW Japan support.
And Bentley team also might have a trouble.

According to twitter posts:

It seems that manufacturer support for Audi is inferior because of the TAISAN R8 crashes and they can't repair that as well.

タイサンのこれ、メーカーサポートが貧弱なメーカーだと来週のテストまでに修復が間に合わないレベルに見えるけど、アウディーってAS本誌記事によるとシーズン中毎レース、エンジンを含め車両1台分丸々パーツ満載 したサポートカーが来ているそうだから大丈夫かな?

Is the translation correct , if not then summarize this sentences as shown as the bold text.

It was a bad hit, but the rest of the car seems intact - I'd be more than a bit surprised if they couldn't fix the rear suspension in time to run at Fuji for at least a day.

They did alright with no pre-season testing at all last season, so there's that.

No.
This tweet says that
If manufacturer support is inferior, the car wouldn't make for repair until Fuji test.
But AUDI's support is very good according to Autosport magazine.
So they can repair the car until Fuji test.

This twitter is by SGT fan, not by concerned personnel.
So don't take it seriously.

@Japanese Samurai (Hoped you not hesitate to reply , to give the opinion)

Then which GT3 manufacturer support is the most inferior in SUPER GT Races , is that BMW????? I think is BMW because of the reliability issues and not many of the team use M6 GT3.

I know you are MEGA BMW fan.
The quality of the manufacturer support and the too much trouble of M6GT3 car is the another question.
BMW's support program is not so bad according to Autosport magazine.

I need to questioning this question because I am very depressed for the Sebring 12 hours race.

Bob Suzuki also depressed about the results for Sebring 12 hours race.


Title: ウーン・・・

アメリカ・フロリダ州にある

セブリングインターナショナルサーキットで

開催された伝統のSebring12時間レースが

昨日開催されていました。

BMW Motorsportはこのレースに

2台のM6GTLM(以前のGTE or GT2)

そして2台のGT DAYTONA(ほぼGT3)の

4台をエントリーしましたが

結果はあまり芳しいものではありませんでした。

幾つかのトラブルもあった様ですが

イエンスやドライバー達のコメントからは

BOP(性能調整)のズレが大きい様で

彼らプロなので、非常に真綿で包んだ

話し方ですが、それに対する

悔しさが滲み出ていました。

我が友Will TurnerはGTDの2台を担当し

これまた果敢にFIGHTしましたが

同様にかなり厳しいレースだったそうです。

勝ったのはコルベット

アメリカのレースでアメ車が勝つ

日本のレースで日本車が勝つ

イギリスのレースでイギリス車が勝ち

スウェーデンのレースでボルボやサーブが勝つ

全てのレースではありませんが

それが多いのは世界共通ですね。

致し方なしw

Sebring 12 hours race was held yesterday.
BMW Motorsport challenged by two M6GTLM, and two GT Daytona.
However the result was not satisfactory.
BMW drivers comments that the difference in BoP is the cause of defeat.
They are professional driver. So they mince it.
My friend Will Turner fought by two GTD. But it was also tough race for him.
Race winner was Corvette.
American car win in American race.
Japanese car win in Japanese race.
British car win in British race.
Volvo and SAAB win in Swedish race.
This can't be avoided.

difference in bop?
M6 gtlm got the most favourable bop between gtlm cars, and in gtd the amg gt3 that won the race is heavier than m6 gt3..

is so hard to admit that a gt3+ car has no future in current GTLM rules ?

Super GT's BoP is different from IMSA's though. Heck, it's even different from the SRO's because it has to account for a three-way tyre war and an entirely different class of cars competing against them every round.

This is what I love about the current GT300 class by the way.

This is stupid.

Conveniently forgets that Mercedes won in the other class BMW is entered in. Porsche won in that same class at Daytona.

The M6 GTLM car is a fish outta water, even though it looks awesome.

SGT's BoP also doesn't have to account for the cars being set to run SLOWER than normal GT3 speeds.

He translated that piece from the quote above. I don't know what's wrong with that observation anyway. It's kind of true. Manufacturers always want to win their home race, possibly more than other races. Nationalistic pride and all that.
