SUPER GT’s Mother Chassis saved as Arnage switches to 86 MC

SUPER GT's Mother Chassis saved as Arnage switches to 86 MC

Doubts had been swirling in the paddock about the future of the Mother Chassis concept amid fading team support for the standard Dome chassis/Nissan engine package introduced in 2015.

Just two teams ran Mother Chassis-based cars in 2021, one of which – Inging/Cars Tokai – has already announced it is abandoning its Lotus Evora MC in favour of a move to the GT300-rules Toyota GR86 this year.

While the other, Team Mach, is yet to announce its plans, Arnage committing to running a first-generation Toyota 86 guarantees at least one Mother Chassis car will be on the GT300 grid in 2022.

Sharing driving duties for Arnage across the season will be gentleman racer Masaki Kano, Ryohei Sakaguchi (who moves across from Inging) and Ryosei Yamashita, although it’s unclear if any of the trio will tackle the full season. Yokohama meanwhile stays on as tyre supplier.
