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.

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.

According to Motorsport channel (Japanese mobile phone website),
the number of participating teams of GT500 will decrease next year. (team KRAFT? MOLA?)
However, the number of participating car of GT500 does not change.
