Then for 650S GT3 car, Team Gainer might be participating by using this car if the SLS AMG GT3 is old and become uncompetitive.

The way they historically operate it's quite likely it will be a 12C still in 2015 and might become a 650S in 2016. Their 430 was well past its best by date, they ran a 996 as a second car a couple races in 2010, and the 997 was a year behind both seasons.
The plan is probably not necessarily to replace the GT3 R with a more current car but rather a car with a longer useful life span in front of it. |

Kohei Hirate seems to have lost his seat of team Cerumo (#38).
His SGT seat doesn't seem decided yet. http://ameblo.jp/kouhei-hirate/entry-11963483235.html |

That's not so far fetched I suppose with the Honda link to Mclaren.

"Obviously I'm disappointed not to be a Honda racing driver – I want to race, so of course I'm disappointed – but I'm still with a great team and I still have big opportunities in my Formula 1 career and beyond and I still have a lot of time ahead so I'm still very positive." |

I hate to beat a dead horse but i found a Danish website that posted an article 6 hours ago that hasn't denied the super gt seat.

However it is pure speculation, and danish media is in general very unknowledgeable when it comes to Motorsport - especially Ekstrabladet, who often chose to be more stupid than the ordinary to create news. |

Juichi Wakisaka says that he will join in the January Sepang test on his blog.
January Sepang test is usually done by the 2015 driver line-up. So he would remain with the team Bandoh (#19) also in 2015. http://ameblo.jp/juichi-wakisaka/entry-11966621920.html |

Juichi Wakisaka tells about carbon brake in SGT on his blog.
Lap time of SGT is quite faster than that of DTM (about 10 sec?). Therefore the consumption of a brake in SGT is intense. Carbon brake is one factor with the bad financial situation of the team because it's very expensive. http://ameblo.jp/juichi-wakisaka/entry-11967216750.html |

If that's so, then GTA should made a long-lasting carbon brake or ditch the carbon brakes at all!
