Being good at things. I think it needs to represent more than that... on second thought, I think Sneech is too much of an asshole to be in that position anyway. (I'm thinking about how everyone else would see him)

Remember that we are also considering Arthur (and his friends) as potential candidates, alongside other Doraemon characters. Be sure to think about what kind of person your next candidate is like in their own franchise...

And also, a preliminary class plan: This is also a points-paying race for teams that race in the following series: (WEC teams can't earn points from this race, for obvious reasons. They can still enter as guests - in other words, teams that aren't associated with another racing series. The "P1-HY" hybrid cars from the WEC are banned from racing at Fuji for cost-control purposes)
 * P1 - Fastest cars on the grid. Purpose-built prototypes with the sole purpose of winning the race outright. Teams often build their own cars, but privateers can also purchase P1s from other, typically smaller, manufacturers that work with independent teams more closely.
 * P2 - More affordable, cost-controlled prototype class. All cars are sold to privateers, who then campaign the cars themselves. Less powerful, but somewhat lighter in weight than P1s, giving them cornering advantages and allowing for intense cross-class competition on some circuits.
 * GTE - The production-car equivalent of the P1 class. GTE cars are based on road-legal cars, but are modified by the manufacturers to the extent that very few parts from the original car remain intact. Straight-line speed similar to that of P2 prototypes.
 * GTC - A "stepping stone" similar to the P2 class. GTC cars are similar in nature to GTE cars, but are somewhat lower in cost and less tightly-regulated. Most diverse category by terms of cars listed as eligible for entry.
 * European Le Mans Series
 * GT Asia
 * Super GT
 * Asian Le Mans Series
 * Weathertech Sportscar Championship
 * Pirelli World Challenge
 * Blancpain GT Series
