SuperGT will use a knockout qualifying system at all rounds this year, as opposed to the old SuperLap style.

ARTA will run a CR-Z next year, while Honda has confirmed that this is the last year for the HSV-010, and the NSX concept will start competing in 2014.



The Autobacs on the side should be white...it gets lost in the black.

...and the ARTA HSV-010.





Also, exhaust on the HSV-010's for 2013 will exit the side, rather than the rear.

How has the BRZ done so far?

So GT300 now basically is GT3 with some additional own cars?

Yep.

Aside from the Prius and BRZ, all the JAF GT300 cars were at least 4 years old.

14th in GT300 standings last year.

DNF, 9, 8, 10, DNF, 6, 4, 15.

Nakajima Racing 2013 scheme:

ZENT 2013 Scheme:

I assume it is the aerodynamical shape of the Lexus that is the reason they still use that car? Because commercial wise a LFA would fit in so much better.

no use making a whole new car for one more season before you have to do it all over again next year

possible okinawa street race for 2014?
