The Supra should be lighter, with higher chassis rigidity, more aggresive suspension setup, and probably a bit more power. It’s unlikely we will see much hardware differences as Tada says in the interviews:
“From our side Toyota wanted to make a pure sports car, and BMW has a slightly different...
Exactly, these are very complex racing cars. In a 24h race with varying weather, different drivers, traffic, speed zones, etc. anything that can go wrong, will. Hopefully the BOP makes for an interesting race in LMP1. If not, the GT-series cars always give a great show.
A great technical...
For any Toyota fans following endurance racing, it has been tough. A short recap:
The gorgeous GT-One (TS010) raced in ´98 and ´99. In ´99 it was the fastest car on the field, but suffered a tire failure while chasing for the lead in the final hours, ending 2nd. Toyota then decided to abandon...

Nur24h 2018 results for Toyota:
Category SP3 - Toyota GT86 (Gazoo/GRMN) Finished 2nd-3rd-4th-6th
Category SP8 - Lexus RCF 2nd place, Lexus ISF CCS-R 3rd place
Category SP-Pro - Lexus LC (Gazoo/GRMN) 1st place
We will surely see the GRMN Supra racing here in a few years.
RCF...
I`m pretty sure, stock for stock, the "weak shyt MkV" will beat the crap out of the MkIV, straight line, cornering, laptime, or any other meassure of performance other than jdm tyteness and f&furiousness.
BTW, have you seen the B58 engine design? Thanks to bean counters (closed deck block...
We don´t know yet which engine the Supra will use, and to which extent it has been modified by Toyota. If it happens to be the B58 engine, it has shown to be quite reliable, so should be a good base. A few years of additional testing and development by Toyota will not hurt.
I have zero worries...
Insanely short gearing @0:20
Very controlled body roll @1:05 (and many other vid segments)
Engine sounds great to me for a stock turbo car. Looking good so far!
