This release is "2012 participation plan."
However, Tochu F1 express reports that the team owner declared 2013 full season participation!

According to Ryo Orime's blog,
Demo-run in TGRF (Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival) was the last run of GT300 IS350 (#14).
He says that "This IS350 goes to a next stage." (AsLMS???)

Yes. But I don't know what the next stage means.
*GT300 or AsLMS by another team?
*Coverted to Hyundai GT300 by Indigo racing?

Team TAISAN confirms continuation of the champion pair of Naoki Yokomizo and Kyosuke Mineo.

Thanks. Im thinking AsLMS, the next stage doesnt sound like it would refer to returning to GT300 but who knows eh?

That confirms the SC430 for at least another year. What vehicle is next?

I hoping it's the LFA, or a Supra successor if there is one.

Or, try turning the GT86 into a GT500 racecar. That would be nuts!

Nobody was going to change cars for 2013 as the new "DTM" tub is scheduled for 2014, anyway. We should get a better idea with the first shakedown of 2014 cars scheduled in mid-2013. The LFA is old news, and it would be ridiculous to have a LFA body over a 4 pots 2l turbo. The IS will be renewed in 2013 so my money is on a kind of slick IS F-style coupe like the LF CC concept.

Maybe so, but there's a high possibility that the LF-CC would get the green light for production. That way, the car would be ready for either 2014 or 2015.

I think the LF-CC of the LF-LC will be next. They're both said to be on the production line in the near future. And both will be hybrids.

Either would be good, i think they both look great ...its hard to pick, a 2 door IS would fit in with the style of car being used in DTM, but the LF-LC would be more in line with the GTR and upcoming NSX that Honda wants to use...maybe they'll do both?

Hope an 86 is still coming to GT300 too, it'll be my new favourite since i drive one now haha

I hope to see it soon as well, maybe Gran Turismo can add it or the BRZ GT300 to their game. Be great publicity.

Wow they also got James Rossiter?

And the Lexus teams still on Bridgestones, I see. Is NISMO changing tire suppliers?

Michelin will not reduce support teams (2 teams).
That is, some team (NISMO?) will switch to Michelin.
