2014 Japanese Super GT

The cars, which was unveiled before the Pokka Sapporo 1000 km back in August, was the Honda NSX Concept-GT, Lexus LF-CC GT and the Nissan GT-R GT500 in DTM-style bodykit.

But I was interested in making a possible grid for 2014 for both classes.

GT500:
#1: ZENT: Tachikawa? / Hirate?
#6: ENEOS: Rossiter?? / Kunimoto? / Oshima?
#8: ARTA: Matsuura? / Firman?
#12: CALSONIC: Matsuda? / Oliveira?
#17: KEIHIN: Tsukakoshi? / Kaneishi?
#18: DOME: Yamamoto? / Kogure??
#19: WedsSport Bandoh Lexus: Ara? / Couto?
#23: MOTUL: Yanagida? / Quintarelli?
#24: ADVAN NEOVA?: Krumm? / Motoyama??
#32: EPSON + Mobil 1 or CAMEL?: Daisuke Nakajima? / Michigami?
#36: PETRONAS: Kazuki Nakajima? / Rossiter? / Kunimoto??
#37: CASTROL?: Ito? / Caldarelli?
#39: DENSO: Wakisaka? / Ishiura?
#46: REITO: Yasuda?? / Sekiguchi?
#100: RAYBRIG: Izawa? / Makowiecki??

GT300 grid coming soon.

* = Confirmed
? = Possible
?? = Extremely possible

Hmm...

I'll bet that Team LeMans will have Hirakawa and Kunimoto as the drivers, meanwhile Oshima will partner with Ito again in a team since 2012, leaving Caldarelli without a drive (maybe?). For Fred Mako, I'll think that he will choose both since this year, driving for WEC and Super GT, so I'll hope he'll stay in Super GT.

I'll bet that he will be moving to Team Le Mans, just like in 2001 until 2005.

GTA announces the 2014 participating vehicles qualification.
The FIA-GT3 vehicles that are set up in the 2013/2014 Blancpain-BoP or FIA-BoP can join the GT300 class.
GTA determines FIA-GT3 BoP uniquely.
BoP between JAF-GT300 and FIA-GT3 is set up by vehicle type.

Not sure. Because that the Ginetta G55 is a GT4 car, Ginetta might make an FIA-GT3 car.

I think that the car will be the MY14 one with various facelifts to the car.
