That’s a nice angle. Did we have this kind a look at the butt and hips before? I like it

Akio is driving. Cool.
Are ppl still actually holding out for this? Highly unlikely considering all that has come to light.

A good race debut for the supra! It didn´t explode in flames.
The objective was clearly to gather data and continue the car development, not pace or points. That is evident with the driver lineup, not a single professional race driver there:
- Morizo: It´s actually Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Toyota. So cool to have him racing the Supra, he actually put down the cars fastest laptime. Pressure on the development team for sure!
- Herwig Daenens: Member of the Vehicle Testing Division of Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA
- Hisashi Yabuki: Member of the Advanced Technical Skills Institute at Toyota Motor Corporation
Regarding performance, very hard to read with traffic, non-pro drivers, and full track configuration.
Best lap time (Nurburgring "GP" circuit + Nordschleife) 9:25.555
This is what we expected. The GP track usually adds a bit more than 2 minutes to the nordschleife laptime.

Commentators speaking at the end of the race spoke about the A90. Development car testing for motorsports suitability, possibly GT4, they said it was prepped in Cologne*
They seemed impressed by it's performance for what it is.
* Cologne/Koln is where TMG headquarters is located in Germany, where the GT86 CS-V3 and CS-R3 are produced... of course as well as the hope of the former F1 and current LeMans effort. If I recall correctly, there is a GT86 cup either in the N24 for for the whole VLN series which use the GT86 CS-V3.

- Lexan windows,
- buckets
- minimal carpet
+ bigger calipers
+ full cage
Usually a full cage will add about 80kg, so I'm assuming 1400kg ish will be close.
A JZA80 stripped and caged to a similar amount usually ends up back at factory weight +/- 15kg
