@Japanese Samurai

It must be Yuichi Nakayama , if Sho Tsuboi is inexperience for GT racing , then they might hired Morio Nitta as the driver for (#51) LM CORSA RC F GT3. Then Sho Tsuboi might be the third driver or the apr Prius second driver for alternate choice .

Do you have the idea????

@Japanese Samurai

Good to hear that , both Kobold and Vorwerk are German company , then It seems that Team Studie has the relationship between Nurburging .

Then if they have the more support of BMW Motorsport , they can sponsor by this companies which sponsor for the Nurburging 24 hours race. (Sorry for off topic)

http://www.bmw-motorsport.com/en/gt-.../partners.html

Then they might be ditch the Yokohama tires same as Ball watch and CP Company if they want their stores needs to be make open to the public for the company for the overseas and also they want to claim the first victory for this team or becoming the GT300 champion for this season because of the Bridgestone tires user is increasing like LEON Racing and INGING LM Corsa . So they need to reconsider this as the decision.

Then Studie and Yokohama relationship is not as deep relations as Team Bandoh so they might changed the tires manufacturer or they can changed the driver lineup (most unlikely happen) if they want。

Other than that , the 2017 upgrade kit for BMW M6 GT3 is ready for the Bathrust 12 hours race in February. I hoped M6 GT3 user's in this season is increasing.

According to as-web

Yuichi Nakayama and Sho Tsuboi will be in INGING LM Corsa RC F GT3 , meanwhile Akira Iida and Hiroki Yoshimoto will be in OTG LM Corsa RC F GT3.

Pending confirmation on Feb. 2nd, yes. It's been the leading rumour for a while with the #51 Lexus, Nakayama and Tsuboi, and now they've tested together - giving even more evidence that they'll be locked in for 2017.

According to Yasuaki Suzuki blog:

It's seems that the new driver will join Team Studie lineup along with Seiji Ara. But I don't know who is he as shown as the picture below.

@Japanese Samurai and @rjoconnell
Do you have the idea know who is he? (besides Seiji Ara one)

I hoped Team Studie will retain BMW works driver Jorg Muller as well. Because Suzuki-san comment on this post said that he has no comments for this driver lineup. Maybe its the BMW M6 GT3 users for this season??? I hoped so.

According to Bob Suzuki blog

It seems that Team Studie is waiting the spare parts for this season to improve the reliability for M6 GT3.

@Japanese Samurai
Is this translation for this blog is correct. If not then translate this blog as shown as below .

今日のM6GT3

バランバランです。

2017ModelへのアップデートPARTSの到着待ち

その間にチェック出来る所は

普段見えない箇所も含め

徹底的にバラして確認しています。

すでにカラーリングは剥がしました。

2016のカラーリング大好きでしたが

（ルール上は問題ないですがw）

全部組み上がったら

新しくしますよっ♪

今年はちょっとART風www

スゴイでしょ、今のGT3って！

フロントシャーシこんなに

なってるんですよっ♪

ドンドン速くなってる

理由の一つでもあります。

組み上がってテスト開始は

2月の20日過ぎあたりを

予定しております。

@rjoconnell

If Sho Tsuboi (2015 Japanese F4 Chmapion) debut the SUPER GT season , then (#55) ARTA BMW should hired RITOMO MIYATA 宮田莉朋 (alias Ritmo Miyata) which is 2016 Japanese F4 Chmapion , due to the rumors says that Takagi teammate will be the ARTA supported driver and the driver is inexperience in SUPER GT. And he is the only one of the ARTA supported driver and he and ARTA relationship is more deeper than Yohshiaki Katayama as shown as below of the website.

Even he is under FTRS scholarship for the previous season or TDP driver programme he also can participate the SUPER GT with ARTA BMW regardless to that scholarship program and Formula 3 with Team Tom's like Takuto Iguchi , as he lost Lexus GT500 seat and he drive Ikasume NAC Ferrari since 2012 . After that , he raced Subaru BRZ since 2013 .

@rjoconnell
How about your opinion, do you agree this statement, hoped you not hesitate to reply.

Miyata is still very young and it may not be until 2018 that we see him in Super GT. He's only just moving up from F4 to F3 this season.

Also, big congratulations to former Racing Project Bandoh driver Max Angelelli for winning the Rolex 24 Hours this weekend!

Very interesting that Nakajima has returned to Super GT. And it seems Kamui Kobayashi has his own team/car in Super Formula.
