Tokai University not entering ? Great chance of picking up 2nd in the championship as it now stands , and the odd win if the Morgan fails .

Tokai University stopped motorsport activity.
It is because Dr. Hayashi retired. He is developing new engine with YGK. |

Hmmmm
apparently Hitotsuyama Racing has sold one of their R8 chassis to australian team, and have now ordered a "new machine" already http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hitots...02417599846736 Thing is that they still have one R8 chassis left, so their GT300 is still possible. Heres the interesting thing: http://hitotsuyamaracing.net/machine/index.html History of competing in endurance events in asia (not JGTC/SGT semi-endurance). History of competing with GT cars as well as ZYTEK PROTOTYPE CAR! Anybody thinking what I'm thinking? KCMG Morgan v. Hitotsuyama v. Atlantic Now that OAK Morgan LMP2 have been sold here in Asia, I hope LOLA B12/80, Zytek Z11SN, HPD ARX-03b & Oreca 03 get to sell here as well! |

Hitotsuyama Racing have stepped down from prototype racing since Japan LM shut down , so I can tell you that my thinking on ur thinking is 'unrealistic'. You are right,they have ordered new machine and most likely it's for GT300 as it is their core business right now,so probably only spot entry in Fuji ..... |

On another note, Clearwater Racing (SG) have purchased a MP4-12c GT3 car, 2013 spec. That is for running in GT Asia, but they have said that they will keep their 458's for Bathurst endurance, Malaysia endurance, and "other" events. |

GT field getting stronger and stronger. Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 FL2 by Reiter Engineering will take part in AsLMS. Hope the team running these cars are a serious effort and give Craft Racing AMR a good fight.

The equipment they had wasn't really up to par for an endurance race, was it? At least they tried.

They won their class at the 1000k of Okayama in 2009. Why would they not be allowed back for having a bad experience at Le Mans?

If that was the case, Flying Lizard would NEVER be allowed back at Lemans! They always have terrible luck there.

JLOC has a lot of Gallardo's. Wouldn't surprise if they'll use their multiple Gallardo LP600+ in GT300 and then use perhaps one or two Gallardo RG-3 in the GTC class in AsLMS.

A whisper in the wind told me China luxury car dealer Team Starchase gave up of GTE plans. Team Starchase is planning a Porsche Carrera Cup Asia comeback, but Asian Le Mans Series program ran out of budget partway through.
Same source speaks loud of two OAK LMP2 on the way to China. Asian drivers desperately needed. Seven sandwiches short of a picnic. |

Well, it's not specifically for the series itself, but here are a few tidbits concerning the new circuit that the AsLMS is supposed to be visiting: Inje Autopia, South Korea.
Onboard of the short course that is already operational for track days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajVjxpEL29E Promotional video for the facility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ecHfDU61ic The place definitely looks spectacular, both in terms of the terrain/scenery, and the facilities for the track. I am wondering whether the slopes involved at some places may force them to have gravel beds for certain run-offs, as opposed to tarmac. Also, having looked at some other videos and materials, I think Inje may be rather like Fuji, in terms of the propensity for rain in the area. Last edited by Purist; 7 Feb 2013 at 20:04. |

There really is a huge lack of news about this championship at the moment though. The promoter keeps publishing some non-sense interviews every week. They must be pretty desperate to flirt with drivers that we all know they will not join the series.
You'right! They were there before. |

Fortunately, the track should be much more accessible for smaller events/users. They shouldn't have to worry about jacked-up fees, like you would expect at Yeongam or other F1 circuits, and it has the two, independently operable short courses to help out even more.
It also must be quite a bit closer to Soeul than is Yeongam. which can't hurt either. It's funny, but I wouldn't complain about the architecture at Tilke's circuits, if it looked like a good bit more effort had been put into the tracks themselves. I say that, because while the Autopia hotel and condos in particular make strong architectural statements, the track itself is quite stunning as well. |
