Its main features are more sleek-looking exterior and a fullscaleimplementation of the telemetry device. In JSPC, it made a debut at Round 3:Fuji GT 500mile Race. At Round 5:Fuji GT 1000km Race, Car No.24 YHP (the drivers Masahiro Hasemiand A. Olofsson) finished 8th and showed a glimpesof its potential.
