Japanese Samurai, of course not , beacuse of the parts of SUPER GT500 and DTM are different.
But this question, the others can answer this question as well
So what is PR??

Ahaha That right man
So that why Team Studie will test all the BMW racing machine with the maintenance of BMW Motorsport so this will be the good idea of Team Studie will collaborate with the BMW Motorsport. And I hoped that they will stepped up to GT500 as early as possible

It was their annual NISMO Festival. Lots of Japanese twitter users were hoping details on the GTR-LM LMP1 were going to be touched on, but nothing.

Somewhat related, Kamui Kobayashi will get to test a Toyota Super Formula car this coming week. Maybe SF and/or SGT is in the cards since he has no solid plans for '15 yet.

The interesting rumour crossover here is that every time Kobayashi has been in Japan for an SGT race he's been a guest of Goodsmile Racing (as GSC did some merchandise of him back in 2011) and they're one of the teams rumoured to run a Lexus (Toyota) in GT300 next year.

It's not unheard of for Super Formula drivers to drive pointy end GT300s, Hideki Mutoh did it with the CR-Z in 2013.

Hopefully we see the McLaren racing in GT300 next year, it's no BMW V12 powered Yellowcorn longtail but it's great to have McLaren back in GT racing around the world and in Super GT.

I'm hoping that Direction Racing should sort out the MP4-12C GT3 as Cars Tokai are having problems on running it in 2014.

But for me, Direction Racing not suppose do buy this GT3 machine, because McLaren has a new GT3 machine for next year is 650S GT3.

I'm sorry to say this AkioAsakura95, but Direction Racing doesn't have the money to buy a brand-new 650S GT3 car.

So, if the rumors were true, they'll buy the MP4-12C GT3 from Cars Tokai as it's cheaper to buy hands me down over a new one.
