No.1 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R
Tsugio Matsuda
I still can't believe what has happened. I just can't believe it. This season we had to drop out of the first race, and then we won in round two at Fuji, but things didn't go smoothly after that. We reviewed and corrected a number of things and were finally able to win again in the 7th round at Autopolis. Then we were able to get the championship in this race today. I want to thank the team, NISMO, Michelin and all the other people who had helped us get here.

To tell you the truth, I thought it was going to be difficult for us to win the championship. Before the start of this 8th round I thought that we were probably in a difficult situation. Five laps before the pit stop, I was getting close to car No. 12, and that made me feel that we might win the championship after all. I feel that today's race has probably shortened my life by about five years (laughs). I also want to thank Matsuda-san for getting in shape [to help us win the title]. (Laughs)
