Sounds good. Seeing as GT3 is slowly beginning to make a name for itself in the Asian Pacific with Super Taikyu and the Aussie GT series, and I wonder if in the next few years we could see the series from this area get together and do something.

It will be interesting to see if any teams over in Japan decide to develop cars for GT3. A Mazda RX8/more likely it's successor GT3, A Lexus LFA GT3, or perhaps a Nissan Fairlady Z/370Z GT3?

JIM Gainer announced that they would participate in ST-1 class with BMW Z4 M coupe.
They say that they might participate in ST-X class with GT3 car during the season(!) They plan to participate in Super GT with F458GTC. What rich team they are! http://jim-gainer.com/images/pdf/201...ner-taikyu.pdf http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=4&no=31856 |

The paint job on the Z4 doesn't look too bad, and the Ferrari sounds good.

Isn't the main problem there are no Japanse GT3 manufacuters?

So they're finally going to replace their Z4 with the SLS, been wondering how long they were going to continue with the older BMW.
Is their much interest for ST-X class for next year? Especially with Nissan building GT-R GT3. |
