“Since I didn’t win any pole positions when I was competing in the GT300 class, I am very, very happy with this. In Q2, due to a mistake I made, I am a bit dissatisfied with the result, because I think I could have gotten a better time, but I don’t regret the final result (of my run). I will try to do my best in tomorrow’s race as well.”

“In the morning’s Official Practice I was having trouble running good times, but the team leaders tried various thing to improve the car’s performance, and that immediately made things a lot better. It was really great. In Q1, Iguchi-san ran a very good time, so I felt a lot of pressure to improve on my times by 3 or 4 seconds. But Iguchi-san told me about the places I should be careful with and told me it would be alright if I just gave it my all, so I just trusted in his words, and it gave me this result. I am just very grateful to the team for this.”
