NOB Taniguchi says that SGT should introduce one-make tire system.
https://ameblo.jp/nob-taniguchi/entry-12547557301.html "I personally prefer one-make tire system. If you compete under the same conditions, you will see your true ability, and if you win, you will be happy, if you lose, you will be disappointed. However, at present, everyone will only make excuses. I would like to introduce a bidding system in SGT and to shuffle tire manufacturers every 3 years. Well, some teams (BS user? ) don't like it, but I think it's more fun and rewarding to have proper competition." |

There was a rumor that Team LeMans wanted to use Yoshiaki Katayama (Team owner's son) for Super Formula. So there seemed to be a dispute between the team and Toyota. However, I don't think that would lead Team LeMans to split with Toyota. |

And there is a rumor of feud between Team LeMans (its parent company Okayama International Circuit) and Toyota.
Toyota's junior driver, Kazuto Kodaka, had a trouble with the Okayama International Circuit. OIC refused his Okayama round F3 entry in this June. There seems to be some trouble between OIC and Kodaka. However, this seems to be far from the reason for the separation between Toyota and Team LeMans. |

Hoping that the fued between Team Le Mans and Toyota will be resolved. Otherwise, the champion might jump ship to another manufacturer.

So basically about 1.66 million USD for a non-running car. That's basically LMP1 money a few years ago. Also about what a Porsche RS Spyder retailed for from 2006-09. |

According to Takehiko Morozumi tweet,
GTA had issued a bulletin to ban the installation of a fuel storage chamber behind the fuel flow meter in late September. Perhaps this might be a banned engine technology of Nissan. https://twitter.com/morozumi_careye/...86218741575680 |

Annual four-wheel driver's golf competition was held.
This is a competition to decide the worst golfer in professional four-wheel drivers. This year's winner is Takamitsu Matsui (#25). He must go home wearing an embarrassing jacket. https://ameblo.jp/nob-taniguchi/entry-12552265122.html |
