No.36 au TOM’S GR Supra
Sho Tsuboi:“After Yamashita-san ran strongly to get us in 2nd position in the qualifying sessions, I thought we would be able to compete well in the race. However, in the race car No. 14 was also strong, which made it a tough race, but I am glad that we were able to realize our goal of getting a second consecutive win. In the latter stages our rivals were the other GR Supra cars, so we had a good idea of what their tiers and other factors were, and I thought we would be stronger in the second half of the race, so I was able to push on with confidence.”

Kenta Yamashita:“In the first half, there were some difficulties that kept us from running at our usual pace. In the end, it was good the way（Tsuboi-san） performed. But since there was a gap to make up, it was good for me to see how Tsuboi-san and the team did. When I am asked why we are so strong…. It is thanks to Tsuboi-san and the team. I’ not so much…, just normal (wry smile).”

Joao Paulo de Oliveira:“Since every year there are new cars entering in GT300, it is very competitive and winning is difficult, hard to win I believe. As for why it has taken us so long to get this win, I think we won because we have never given up. I am grateful for the presence of our Manager Kondo and Kimura-san, and for my wife came here today to support as well.”

Iori Kimura:“I am glad that I was able to show my gratitude for Manager Kondo having brought me to the team this year. As for the previous opening round…. When I get nervous, I am the type that ties up (wry smile), so this time I really tried to keep calm and be ready for my turn at the wheel and making sure to hand the car over properly to the next. I want to thank everyone.”
