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???) http://ameblo.jp/ryo-dream-1/entry-11412750264.html |

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. http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=2&no=45285 |

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.

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? Last edited by DeathOrGlory; 12 Dec 2012 at 09:09. |

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