Both races screened live on the BlacPain Youtube feed. Good racing, impressive showing by Marciello, GruppeM and by the OD Guys, Mitch Gilbert is quick. Good races and, I note, proper prize money.

Raffaele was an absolute stand out

Average racing from Stevens though

I hope for a little more variety in GT4 in future races but nothing to complain about GT3

GT Asia is definitely finished!!

Yup, but they don't want to acknowledge that just yet.

[Ospi]

But Blancpain also offered deals which won't be sustainable down the line such as free tyres and fuel for the weekend. So they still need to be weary.

Mentioned this to someone who really knows and when he stopped laughing he said they used 16 sets of tyres at €2000 a set and control fuel was €4 litre flown to the race by SRO.

Yes, as I have since learned, and that was a manager of a team, so it's really difficult to trust anyone with anything5they say these days, sadly. Always an agenda it would seem.

Modell in for Peter Li at Craft Bamboo

Craft Bamboo - Porsche 911 GT3 R - Darryl O'Young / Devon Modell

And two completed not connected Singha teams entering the next race in Thailand

Singha Plan-B Motorsport - Audi R8 LMS GT3 - Bhurit Bhirombhakdi / Kantasak Kusiri

Singha Team Thailand - Ferrari 458 GT3 Italia - Voravud Bhirombhakdi / Carlo Van Dam


The series' press release today says 26+ cars for Thailand although some of the race by race entrants we saw last round aren't travelling


Also contrary to others suggestions, the Clearwater car is fine and supposed to be running the rest of the season as normal

[Bcarr6]

D'Station Racing - Porsche 991 GT3 R - Satoshi Hoshino / Seiji Ara

For Suzuka and Fuji rounds only.

I imagine we may get a few more Japanese entrants for those two rounds,

After that we have Shanghai and Zhejiang in china so hopefully we see some Chinese gt entrants for those two

[Bcarr6]

Three additonal entries now for the two Japanese rounds, including previously announced D'Station

D'Station Racing - Porsche 991 GT3 R - Satoshi Hoshino / Seiji Ara

ARN Racing - Ferrari 488 GT3 - Hiroaki Naga / Kota Sasaki

CarGuy Racing - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 - Takeshi Kimura / Kei Cozzolino



D'Station are the well known Super GT Gt300 entrant as well as super Taikyu

CarGuy do events and race by race entrants in various series

And ARN are Super Taikyu runners

[Bcarr6]

http://sportscar365.com/sro/blancpai...-set-for-fuji/

Another superb entry list for Fuji.

This series is doing an absolutely great job for season one I say

And hey, there's something other than a Cayman in GT4!

[Akrapovic]

ASLMS is looking better nowadays too. After a few false starts, the Asian market is finally picking up. I'm looking forward to Blancpain Asia and ASLMS next season.
