Maybe my post caused misunderstanding.
Supply to WTCR is not the main objective.
TRD's chart means that the power band of TG20 is equivalent to that of WTCR.
TRD says that TG20 is the successor racing engine of 3S-GTE.
It will be mainly used as a replacement engine for tuning cars.

Ohhh , Finally I understand

Which means that that engine is replacing 3S-GTE by using TG20. With using this engine , they can use to rival EVO, Subaru WRX STI, Ford Focus RS and so on.

I wasn't being specific, just throwing out a Toyota car. They would probably make a tcr from the auris or a team make the avensis like the one used in btcc.

Now I'm the one confused about what BMW Team Studie is doing next year especially after their announcement today.

Blancpain GT Asia in addition to Super GT, or instead of Super GT?

Translation from Studie BOB Suzki blog.
https://lineblog.me/studiebob/archives/9317389.html

Why do we participate in Blancpain GT Asia?
*Main reason is production of BMW M6 will end.
*Second reason is we were recommended motorsports activity in China from BMW powerfully.
*Third reason is live streaming is substantial in Blancpain GT Asia.

So Studie will withdraw from SGT.
And there will be no pariticipation in Super Taikyu series.

All GT500 team driver's helmet are exhibited in SGT exhibit at Isetan Shinjuku shop.
However, this tweet notes that there is no tire manufacturer's decal only in Yasuda and Sekiguchi's helmet.
This is a sign that they will switch the team/category this season.
