Hikari Racing has announced that its 2000 Speedvision World Challenge effort will include a new Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and also expand into the Touring Car Championship with three all-new Toyota Celica GTS entries.

Team principle David Schardt reported that the team has finalized a deal to bring a Porsche to the series, which he will drive. The team still has its Toyota Supra Turbo, which could also make Speedvision GT appearances throughout the season.

Kurt Buchwald has signed with the team to pilot one of the new Celicas, with one seat open for a sponsored driver and the third car utilized as a guest appearance entry.
