*Since we have reduced costs by introducing common parts according to Class 1, Super GT is a category where new manufacturers can participate at very low costs.
Interested manufacturers always welcome.
There is a competition, entertainment in Super GT.
And I have a pride in creating such an exciting category.

*European manufacturers are in a difficult situation, but future growth markets are in Asia. Considering marketing in Asia, SGT has high value as a category.
I want to say, "Welcome if you participate in."

*We use current regulations till 2022.
Regarding the regulations after 2023, we will discuss including environmental measures such as hybrid system and the use of alcohol fuel.
However, we won't throw away the elements that stimulate the acoustic senses, smells, and fifth senses (in a word, SGT won't throw away engine.).
I feel bit worried about Nissan on hybrid system. While Honda (F1) and Toyota (WEC) are pretty successful on their own worlds, Nissan didn't do pretty well at 2015 LMP1 program although later they found way to race at Formula E.
