Team KTR (#33) ended partnership with Hankook tires.
https://www.facebook.com/KTR.Motorsp...54928997952160

Oh, it's the as-books.jp one. Thought it was a different site.

And what tyre should Hankook KTR choose?

Japanese Samurai · 27 Dec 2013, 11:06 (Ref:3348122)

For team KTR, Hankook was not only a tire supplier but a main sponsor.
Therefore, the team must find a new main sponsor.

According to Autosport web, Hitotsuyama racing also change the tire from Hankook.
So Hankook will withdraw from SGT.

Finally, Kageyama and Fujii are left without a drive. Or might Fujii still race in the series?

Japanese Samurai · 27 Dec 2013, 11:26 (Ref:3348130)

Tomonobu Fujii could find an alternative sheet.

Dirk Werner maybe? He was withdrawn from DTM to do some endurance races. And if BMW will enter GT500, they'll already have driver with DTM AND SuperGT experience.

Was recently watching the video of the Toyota TS010 testing at Eastern Creek at Sydney Australia and it reminded me of when Toyota doing tyre testing there with their JGTC Supra back in the nineties.

Does any pics or vision exist of this test?

possibly around the time Wayne Gardener was driving the Esso Supra? also, James Courtney said in an AutoAction interview they brought one of the later V8 powered Supras down to Phillip Island for him to test drive when he drove for TOMS in the mid 2000s...dont know if any pics exist of either though...

theres also one of the early 2000 4-cyl turbo JGTC Supras that lives in a Toyota warehouse in Australia now, it got brought down and re-liveried for when Toyota launched the shortlived TRD subbrand here...i actually saw that one in person at an Autosalon show in 2007, it was parked next to one of Neal Bates' rally Corollas right at the front of the show...cant post photos i took of that for the moment either, im on holiday and they arent on my phone or laptop
