It’ll be interesting to see what actually comes out. Maybe Autosport know something others don’t. But you’re right, we should for official confirmation to see if there is any truth to this

That's good, can't wait to see when the restoration work is finished. The TOM's Supra is a classic car and hopefully we will see it back somewhere on a race track again

Former Team Tom's management (T2 Co., Ltd. Owner: Isao Tanimoto, Nobuhide Tachi) has purchased 80% stake of Tom's Co., Ltd. from Mobcast Holdings by MBO (management buy out).
In short, Tachi-san bought back Team Tom's.  Mobcast says it's a short cut to get Tom's Co., Ltd. listed on the stock market. https://mobcast.co.jp/news/200625_01/ https://gamebiz.jp/?p=269965 Last edited by Japanese Samurai; 25 Jun 2020 at 10:15. |

Raybrig NSX (#100) tried flick box style front aero.
Since there are four rounds of Fuji this season, a low-drag aero may be effective. https://twitter.com/shin_yuru/status...84192265662467 |

Hi everybody, I have another questions :
1. Regarding Moral Hazard penalty point system, is it also applied on testing sessions if a driver did some infringements (ex. contact with other cars, speeding in pitlane)? 2. With NSX-GT already using FR layout, is it certain the minimum weight is 1020kg just like other GT500 cars? |

Q1. Yes. moral hazard system applies to all SGT races and official SGT tests.
Q2. Honda says that the vehicle weight was heavy at the time of the test in March, but at the present the weight distribution has been optimized. https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/596147?all |

Autosport web analyzes the new front aero of Honda NSX GT.
https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/596147?all At first glance, it looks like a former low drag spec aero. However, Honda denies it is an exclusive aero for Fuji. This is supported by the Fuji test data. Looking at the ideal sector time of NSX, it is superior to Supra in the sector 3 (technical section) time. On the other hand, the maximum speed was over 300km/h for Supra, but 290-295km/h for NSX. Therefore, it can be seen that the new front aero is not specialized for the Fuji. |

Autoprove features Subaru BRZ GT300.
https://autoprove.net/subaru/sti-technology/192744/ Subaru decided to make improvements to increase its strength to win the series champion. STI analyzed the qualifying results of the race for the past 6 years and the ratio of straight lines and corners of each circuit. As a result, it became clear that the courses with good past results such as Autopolis, Suzuka and Sugo have a high cornering ratio. On the other hand, Thailand's Buriram and Twin Ring Motegi are advantageous for cars that favor linear acceleration, and it has become clear that that circuit is unfavorable for BRZ. Therefore, 2020 spec BRZ was improved to lower the center of gravity and increase the cornering speed. The center of gravity of the engine has been lowered from the wheel center and the alternator has been placed at the rear to improve the front and rear weight distribution by 0.3% toward the rear. The vehicle rigidity was also optimized with these modifications. Special tire was also developed with an emphasis on cornering performance. A new front splitter has also been introduced that does not lose downforce when cornering. |

So after a pretty disappointing tweet earlier, I am glad we will get a proper way to watch the races live this season!
