No. 17 Astemo HRC PRELUDE-GT
Yuto Nomura:
“I am very, very happy. After the qualifying lap there were some quite good times, so I thought I might not have enough (might be beaten from behind). But I’m glad that I was able to get pole position in the end. However, we have struggled quite a bit in races up until now, but we will start tomorrow’s race from pole position, meaning that we can start from the front, so we will be going for the win.”

Yusuke Tomibayashi:
“Thank you very much! The team and the people at Michelin Tires really worked hard, and from the time I started running the car’s condition felt very good. Fujiwara-san (in Q1) worked hard I thought and he got through (in 2nd position), which encouraged me. That enabled me to concentrate on (the Q2) qualifying lap. Yes, I am very happy (smiles).”
