It's no bargain bucket effort, that's for sure. We'll see how long Subaru can justify it on R&D lines as the MC cars pick up the pace (and wins).

I'll buy it tomorrow.

According to Juichi Wakisaka SGT niconico TV show,
*Refueling time of Nissan GTR GT3 is shorter for 10 seconds than other FIA-GT3.
So refueling speed of FIA-GT3 will be adjusted in the next season.
*The fuel consumption of GT500 is 2.2-2.3 km/l.
*FCY will be introduced from middle of the next season.

Subaru will announce 2017 SGT participation plan on Jan.13 at Tokyo Auto Salon.

Building a race-ready Ferrari from scratch would have been extremely expensive (yeah you know about JAF-GT cars), probably Ferrari Japan can be one of the sponsor of LM Corsa & make the reminiscent livery derived from the J50

Does anyone know how much involved Ferrari Japan are in SGT? I remember the fiasco when it took the Gainer 430 to be almost champions to get any help from Ferrari officially

the answer? nothing
in 2011 jim gainer bought a 458 GT2, the team didn't receive any help/support for the whole season but last round when michelotto sent someone to update the car engine ECU (just because they were running for the title)

Thanks JS, that's even more power than I thought they had from the EJ20 - it's not all that far off what the GT3 cars will be running (assuming their BoP is similar to Blancpain).

According to Daisuke Ito blog,
he made LC500 seat of Team Tom's (#36) car for February Sepang test.
(#36 chassis will be shipped to Sepang.)
So he will remain in Team Tom's.
