Tyres: unknown
Driver 1: 鈴木 陽一郎 (Youitirou Suzuki / Yoichiro Suzuki) ? SUZUKI

Note 1: no notes on this car, including the type of Corolla – picture would be nice. The entrant or sponsor name in English would be of great help.
Note 2: Driver 1’s name correlates to other Suzuki’s, so I’m sure he’s “A” Suzuki.
Team / Entrant was 'R.S.KATO - LUCK SPORTS' LEVIN

Again, I have a photo of the car which I will scan and e-mail to you.

Results:

Round 2: 1985-06-16, Tsukuba (13 / ?) driver 3 – only one driver!?

Round 4: 1985-10-13, Suzuka (12 / 7) Morozumi / driver 6
Round 5: 1985-11-10, Fuji (DNF) Morozumi / driver 6

Note: no other info, but here is a few speculations: The Rookie Levin entries name, Seiji Morozumi as the only fixed driver of the entry, and a host of one off drives for his co-pilotes, could suggest that this was a sort of learners car for young talents, with Morozumi as their guide – a bit like Jochen Mass at Sauber-Mercedes, where he guided Mrs. Schumacher, Wendlinger and Frentzen during the 1990 World Sportscar Championship. This is only guess work, so any information on this entry would be very nice.
Driver 1: Seiji MOROZUMI
Driver 2: Hiromi NISHIZAWA
Driver 3: Seiji MOROZUMI
Driver 4: Yoshiji OZAWA
Driver 5: Yukiko KATO ( female )
Driver 6: Yoshifumi KATSUMATA

*Your Driver 1 and Driver 2 are the same guy I think. You need to change your results accordingly.

Yes, 'ROOKIE' Levin was a TRD entry with rotating 'rookie' novice driver line-up to partner MOROZUMI.

Race number of #86 was not serendipity, but purposely chosen for the AE86 Corolla Levin 'Hachi-Roku' as part of the model's Toyota and TRD publicity / sales campaign.

Results:
Round 5: 1985-11-10, Fuji (DNF)

Note: no other info, not even at start number for this entry. Didn’t even post a time during qualifying for their sole race at Fuji.
I believe this must be the #26 car in the race: The 'F.E.T Advan T.B.S. Levin'
Tyres: Yokohama
Driver 1: Tsutomu SAKURAI
Driver 2: Kenichi OKUYAMA

They retired ( reason: "Engine" ) after 103 laps.
'F.E.T' = Far East Trading, a company with performance / race car roots going back to the early 1960s.
'T.B.S' = ( I believe in this case ) Tokyo Broadcasting System, an independent TV station with several channels.

Will scan and e-mail a photo of the car to you.
