SUPER GT's final in-season GT500 test of the year was more notable than usual, as next year's development cars shared the track with the current-generation machines. While it's still early days, there are still some interesting trends to note.
One notable thing about the Motegi test was how slow the lap times were on the whole, slower even than last year's post-season carbon neutral test .
But, looking at just the 2024 cars for the moment, Nissan looks to be in the best shape, and not just because the #230 Z NISMO shared by Ronnie Quintarelli and Tsugio Matsuda set the fastest time of the three development cars. But in the second session, which lasted three hours, there was a marked difference between the three manufacturers. Nissan managed to get 75 laps in the books, more than a couple of the 2023 cars in that session, versus 59 for Honda and a mere 19 for Toyota.
For the final session, none of the three manufacturers did any more long runs, although it should be noted the Toyota test car completed a much more respectable 57 laps, more than either Honda or Nissan .
