Also there are only 3 cars in the sp8 class and the Supra is designated sp8T. I am not sure what the T designation signifies. I have seen the Supra on track a few times as the race leaders lap it.

Yeah, no doubt on that, I didn't mean to imply that they were going to be in the actual race, just something I thought was pretty neat. They were all just red street cars with the letters on the roof.

Unfortunately the actual race coverage hasn't made much mention of any of the Gazoo teams or other Toyotas, or shown them much at all. Haven't even heard them mention Akio Toyoda - or "Mr. Morizo"

But, here's some crappy screenshots (I wasn't kidding about slow internet) from the earlier TOYOTA formation.
