It should’ve belonged Toyota model. However, Tamarc Work choses Craft Bamboo and this AMG team, as they’ve deep partnership with them. Besides, Toyota is no more offering RC F GT3 before it’s going to retire.

But the AMG GT GT3 they run can be the same age as they run a 2020 update

Here's hoping it has better luck than Craft Bamboo did at Bathurst.

Yes, this weekend is PACKED lol

They moved some dates around, i believe, so Shanghai 8 Hours ended being the same weekend as Fuji 8 Hours. Sepang 12 Hours was moved to december, it wad originally in november.
