The chassis number of car that Good smile racing uses is # WPOZZZ99Z4S693079.
They plan to change from this car to new 997 during the season. A new mascot character was announced. http://supergt.goodsmileracing.com/index.html (This livery is a tentative livery.) |

Super GT usually do brief race-recaps in English after each round. Other than that, highlights of most races usually end up on Youtube, but you need to be able to understand Japanese to know what's going on half the time.

Summary of question and answer of press conference by Nissan.
Strictly saying, a new engine(VRH34A) is not a pure racing engine. However, it uses a lot of exclusive parts. And, they supply Z(350Z?) car to Team Hasemi. However, they do not schedule Z car to be supplied to Team Mola. As for GT300, Hasemi in, and ,Mola out. |

Finances must be hard if they only run 3 cars in GT500, one less car is really not going to help them with the manufacturer's championship. Maybe they have dropped one car to put more into the FIA GT programme.

Yikes, remember seeing this car advertised for sale a couple of months ago and they were asking 3 times the going rate of a GT3 RSR! Anyway, fantastic to see Porsches in the Gt300 class, just hope it doesnt turn into an "FIA GT2 category with tons of f430s and 997 GT3s

Thanks Samurai, but I cant translate correctly the articles.
In GT300 what kind of F430 does Jim Gainer use (FIA GT2 or SGT300)? What about the Lamborghini JLOC, they seems to run a Murcielago in ACO/FIA rules.. Thanks in advance |

Jim Gainer use S-GT spec F430.
JLOC brought Le Mans spec Murcielago. AUTOSPORT reported their tyre is Hankook. However, it is Yokohama according to the photograph.

Yeah Nakajima's confirmed at StefanGP
Seems like BernieGP Sorry StefanGP are picking up momentum and i would be surprised if they werent picking up the grid places left over by the non-existent Us and Spanish teams. Looks like the SuperGT season is really hotting up. It would be great if Motors could run extended highlights. |

Today, JLOC removed the ADVAN sticker from Murcielago.
It seems to be true that they change the tire supplier from Yokohama to Hankook. http://as-web.jp/photonews/info.php?c_id=2&no=8659 Yuhi Sekiguchi and Shinya Hosokawa drove JLOC Gallardo today.
