SUZUKA GT300km in SUZUKA Circuit
Round 1 SUZUKA GT300km Aguri increased his lead over second placed Sekiya lap by lap. After lap 5, their difference was over 5 seconds. Meanwhile, Pedro de la Rosa in a SUPRA staged a fine comeback after a poor start left him down in eighth place from fifth on the starting grid. The Spanish driver took second place on lap 10, and drew closer lap by lap on the leader. It seemed like a single fight between the SKYLINE GT-R driven by A.Suzuki/E.Comas and the SUPRA of P.De la Rosa/M.Krumm toward the middle stage of the race. For GT-300 class, Hideo Fukuyama in a NISSAN SYLVIA was leading from the start ahead of Morio Nitta in a PORSCHE 964RSR, Takeshi Tsuchiya in a TOYOTA MR-2 and a MAZDA RX-7 driven by Shinichi Yamaji. On lap 40, when the race entered the last stage, Krumm who was given the wheel by De la Rosa stopped his SUPRA on the main straight with white smoke sending out from his car. It made Comas' fight easier, because Olivier Grouillard, who received the wheel of the SUPRA from Masami Kageyama and managed to capitalize on Krumm's retirement to take second place, was far behind him. Comas was running alone in first place, behind him Grouillard and Toshio Suzuki both in SUPRAs made a fantastic battle for second place. In the end the leading cars finished in this order. In the GT-300 class Manabu Orido/Hideo Fukuyama in a NISSAN SYLVIA won the race ahead of Seiichi Sodeyama/Kiyoshi Misaki in a PORSCHE 993RSR.
