Joao Paulo de Oliveira expects a “shake-up” in SUPER GT’s GT300 class this season now that the requirement to change all four tyres in the first and last races has been axed.Kondo Racing driver de Oliveira has been at the forefront of the GT300 class since he joined the team in 2020, winning that year’s title alongside Kiyoto Fujinami, finishing runner-up the following season and then prevailing in a nail-biting climax to the 2022 campaign.
, and thinks that the relaxation of the rules is part of an attempt by the organisers to encourage a change in the competitive order. “Of course there will be some cars that will not change tyres in the first race, like Saitama [Toyopet, which runs a Toyota Supra] and maybe a few others. For the GT3 cars, it’s more difficult.”De Oliveira set the 12th-fastest time in the recent Okayama pre-season test, best of the five Nissan GT-R teams present but still seven tenths off the pace.
