Group 2 applications aren't quite open yet, I know, but here's the low-down on the Group 2 teams.
As previously outlined, in this category you have two choices: apply for an existing team, or to create a new one. If you previously applied for a Group 1 manager role, you have priority over new applicants.
Current Group 2 Teams
NDDP Racing
Nissan 350Z Gr.2

Japanese Lamborghini Owner's Club
Lamborghini Gallardo Gr.2 (x2)

Autobacs Racing Team Aguri
Honda NSX-R Gr.2

RE-Amemiya
Mazda RX-7 Gr.2

apr
Toyota MR-S PES-GT (x2)

Team MACH
Toyota MR-S PES-GT

Cusco Motorsport
Subaru WRX PES-GT

If you are uninterested in running any of the existing teams above, you can enter your own full-time team. Note that real-life Super GT teams will take priority over fictional organizations unless you can justify otherwise.

If you are a Group 1 team owner that is not ARTA and you want to also join in Group 2, note that a maximum of three Group 1 teams can also be entered in Group 2.

Unlike in Group 1, you can also choose from one of four tire suppliers, each with their own slight strengths and weaknesses:
  • Advan/Yokohama tires are slightly better at the start of a stint, but drop off a little towards the end of a fuel run.
  • Bridgestone tires aren't quite as strong in the early run of a stint, but hold up better than the Advan and Dunlop tires.
  • Dunlop tires are the strongest tire in the early 1/3rd of a stint, but they drop off the quickest.
  • Michelin tires are the weakest tire in the early 1/3rd of a stint, but drop off the slowest.
No team may have more than 2 cars.

There is a hard limit of 21 full season cars from the Group 2 category for this season. Entries that are not approved in this phase can still apply for a part time role. More info on that later.

Actually, that successful year hasn't happened yet (this is still a 2019 series, so runs alongside Sung-Tae's title year, and in fact Asian F4 supports this series in 2019 for a couple of rounds).

If you look at my Discord, you'll see why I want to run TAISAN, I'm leaving ARTA Gr.2 to someone else, Gr.1 ARTA I prefer.

*deep sighs*
I appreciate the enthusiasm for your role as Team Kunimitsu director, but setting up your Group 2 satellite team like this is unacceptable. Both in real-life and in the PES corner of GPR canon, Team Kunimitsu is a beloved fan-favorite in the field, while Hartono's organization is a large unknown. There is no real justification for the unification of these efforts. If you wish to plausibly establish Kunimitsu as a dual-class team like ARTA is, they must do it independently.

While not explicitly written in the rules, establishing connections with a major character (or organization, in this case) in the "official canon" to an unknown and all-new 'original' entity without sufficient justification is frowned upon in many roleplay and story-driven forum communities. I can't speak for any of the other series here, but I also follow this practice here in PES.

Focus on your role as Team Kunimitsu's Group 1 director first and foremost, please. Running a Group 2 team is fine too, but remember: you signed up to be Team Kunimitsu.

I'd be interested in running Pacific with Gulf Racing, as they run in Super GT in real life:

Team Name: Pacific with Gulf Racing
Car: 1x Porsche 911 GT3-RSR (997) (will up to 2 if there aren't enough entries)
Car Number: #97

I'd also be open to run ARTA if no one else takes it. Also, if I run a full Group 2 entry I can't run a part-time entry as well right?

The Group 2 full-season sign up phase has passed, but a number of spots and a couple of issues need to be resolved before we move on to driver signings and part-timers.

SeedStriker, as LM Corsa have higher priority over USD, you will be unable to run the Toyota MR-S PES-GT with that team. You can however, run one Mooncraft Shiden (which is Toyota powered), run apr (two car team) or Team MACH (one car team) instead.

TheFlyingCaterham and peteroli34, as there is only one WRX slot available after LM Corsa joined, please come to a decision on which one of you will switch to running Cusco Motorsport, or demote to part-time. Once this is resolved, all full-time seats will be taken.

BKGlover, as you agreed to run Team TAISAN alongside Dexter249, I need you to confirm if you will match his 911 GT3-RS or if you would prefer to run a Viper Competition Coupe.

As I was a bit forgetful in including this on the sign up form, I also need all Group 2 full-time entrants that have a custom entry to confirm their tire choices if they have not done so already. For reference, you can choose from Advan, Bridgestone, Dunlop, or Michelin. Sorry guys!

Entry issues aside, here is the final full-time entry list for PES Group 2:
#3 NDDP 350Z Gr.2
#5 Team MACH MR-S PES-GT
#7 RE-Amemiya RX-7 Gr.2
#10 SB Hartono NSX-R Gr.2
#11 SB Hartono NSX-R Gr.2
#18 Goodsmile Racing with M-TEC NSX-R Gr.2
#26 Team TAISAN 911 GT3-RS
#30 apr MR-S PES-GT
#31 apr MR-S PES-GT
#32 Union Saver Developments 911 GT3-RSR
#33 BORC Shiden (Michelin)
#34 Team Mecha Racing 350Z Gr.2
#51 Team TAISAN Viper Competition Coupe
#55 Autobacs Racing Team Aguri NSX-R Gr.2
#60 LM corsa MR-S PES-GT
#66 Toshio Race Team F360 PES-GT
#77 Cusco Motorsport WRX PES-GT
#88 JLOC Gallardo Gr.2
#89 JLOC Gallardo Gr.2
#96 LM corsa WRX PES-GT
#97 Pacific with Gulf Racing 911 GT3-RSR
#98 K-Apex F430 GT
#99 Globex Scorpio Racing APD Viper
#123 JBS Australia Gallardo Gr.2
#333 BORC Shiden (Michelin)
