2017 Japanese Super GT

[AkioAsakura95]

According to Super GT Plus

ARTA spends 5000 thousands yen for purchasing M6 GT3 to participate SUPER GT . (My brief explanation)

ではＧＴ３００のマシンは、いくらするのか？
ＢＭＷ　Ｍ６で参戦するＡＲＴＡの土屋圭市のもとを訪ねた。
土屋がＧＴマシンの驚愕のお値段をぶっちゃける！

ゆーびーむ：こちらだとおいくらくらいになるんですか？
土屋：これはリーズナブルですよ、5000万円ちょっと。
ゆーびーむ：GT300だとお値段教えてくれるんですね。
土屋：売ってるもん、みんな買えるよ。5000万円出せばBMW買えるぞ！
　　　極端なことを言うと、本当にレースが好きでレースをやりたいという人がいれば
　　　できちゃう。
ゆーびーむ：夢ありますね。
土屋：GT300ってそういう夢のあるカテゴリーなんです。
　　　ちゃんと売っているレーシングカーを買ってきてできる。

このＢＭＷ　Ｍ６はＦＩＡ　ＧＴ３という規格でいわゆる「吊るし」のレーシングカー。
ＧＴ５００と違い、マシンの開発費がかからないため、ＧＴ３００の多くのチームが、
このＧＴ３車両を購入して参戦している。

So how much will the GT300 machine cost?
We visited the place of Keiichi Tsuchiya of ARTA who participates by BMW M6.
Tsuchiya will reveal the astonishing price of the GT car!

U-Beam: How much is this car?
Tsuchiya: This is reasonable price. 50 million yen a bit.
U-Beam: If you are GT300 owner, you can tell us a price.
Tsuchiya: That's because it is sold. Everyone can buy it. If you spend 50 million yen, you can buy BMW!
Extremely saying, if there are people who really like racing and want to race, You can do it.
U-Beam: It has a dream, isn't it?
Tsuchiya: GT300 is a category with such dreams. You can buy a racing car.

This BMW M6 is a so-called "ready-made" racing car with the FIA-​​GT3 standard.
Unlike the GT500 cars, development cost is not charged, so many GT300 teams use it.

Which means that They purchase M6 GT3 in 420,000 Euros approximately , But the based price of M6 GT3 is 379,000 Euros .

@Japanese Samurai
Does Drift King mentioned the M6 GT3 price is in estimation or the exact price including the tax and maintenance fee ????

Can you explain the taxation in Japan for the custom tax (Import duty & taxes) for race car???? Hoped you not hesitate to reply

[Japanese Samurai]

It's rough estimate.
Japanese consumption tax is 8%.
But I don't know about a tax of an import racing car.

[AkioAsakura95]

Thx for your information:

By the way, about the joint race with SUPER GT and DTM :

Gerhard Berger believe that the relationship of SUPER GT and DTM will deepen.

Speaking about NSX GT3 .
The price of NSX GT3 is estimate $500,000 US dollar.

Interesting , NSX GT3 was built by JAS Motorsport which the team is building and developing Honda Civic WTCC which Ryo Michigami race in WTCC.

Ditto, glad to see RJ's dedication is recognised professionally. Keep it up mate

[bentley speed 8]

Expecting some good articles. His blog has been the best place to learn about Super GT recently

[TF110]

Very good news, RJ! And Super GT World is a nice site to stay up to date on things. Google translate and as-web.jp sometimes gets a little confusing!

According To BOB-Suzuki blog,

Team Studie activity announcement in 2017 is delayed in 6 April 2017

Title : 大大大失態ッ！！！

2017年

今年最大の大失態

本日発売のBMWコンプリート誌に

今期のカラーリング掲載されております。

本当は本日3月31日に

参戦体制発表会をやろうとしていた。

だから本日発売の本であれば

問題無かろうと記事を書いた。

ところがその後二転三転し

結果発表会は4月6日に変わった。

マシンカラーリングの発表は

ある意味今年の発表会であれば

かなりのメインコンテンツ。

それがすでに世に出てしまった・・・

大大大失態

もう取り返せない大失態

こうなったら開き直って

一冊でも多く買って頂きたい！

本を買った方はその写真を撮って

ネットとかには上げないで頂きたい。

マシンカラーリング早く見たい方は

本を買う！

どうか宜しく御願い致します。

久しぶりにやらかしました・・・

This season's color scheme is appeared in the latest issule of BMW complete magazine.
We had supposed to do a 2017 SGT activity announcement on March 31.
However, it delayed to April 6.
New livery is main contents of the announcement.
So this is very big mistake.
If it comes to this, everyone, please buy this magazine.
However, please don't upload the picture on website.

@Japanese Samurai

How to buy this BMW complete magazine is related to Team Studie which is Volume 69 or they have providing us the free reading via mobile devices ???? Sorry I am in Overseas (Not in Japan)

Speaking about this topic :



I hoped they can announced in April 6 which is related in this picture

Having Yuji Kunimoto (#19 WedsSport LC500) participate in WEC 6 Hours of Spa, Kenta Yamashita potentially will be filling the seat on the Round 2 Fuji race and Tsubasa Kondo take the seat at #25 VivaC 86 MC.

[rjoconnell]

Thanks for all the kind words and congratulations

And wow, that's really jarring news to learn about Haruo Tsuchiya - think we can all agree that we're glad that he's out of the hospital and his cancer is in remission.

[Japanese Samurai]

Autosport magazine SGT report.
GT500
*Masataka Bandoh says that they couldn't help using harder tire than Kondo GTR last year because of lack of downforce. However, its status reversed this year. they can now use softer tire than Kondo.
*GTR is high drag/ less downforce.
*Weak point of NSX-GT is braking stability.

GT300
MY17 RCF is 40kg lighter than MY15 RCF.

Goodsmile Racing with Team UKYO are going to the 24 Hours of Spa, with NOB Taniguchi, Tatsuya Kataoka, and Kamui Kobayashi driving!

[J Jay]

Is there a concert on during the race, like there is at LM?

If so, I think it's the right time for Hatsune Miku to make her Belgian debut!

More importantly, there's going to be new livery for the AMG GT for the one-off. Hopefully Tony Taka will be more inspired with this one...
