No. 100 STANLEY CIVIC TYPE R-GT Naoki Yamamoto:“I suffered a big injury before and this is my first win since that time, and even more than that, this has been one of the last two races for the CIVIC TYPE R-GT, so we came into this race really wanting to get a win with our own hands. For that reason, I am truly glad that we got this win. When I was running for more than an hour in the first stint, I was thinking all the time about what I could do to get it ready to hand over to my teammate Makino for his stint, and it turned out that today this was truly his race. Also, I want to express my gratitude for the hard work that the Honda people did in difficult conditions with the engine development.”
Tadasuke Makino:“Thank you all! Through this season of difficult times, we finally put together a race we can be proud of. I am very happy. It has been great.”
No. 666 seven × seven PORSCHE GT3R Harry King:“Arigato! I am very pleased with this result. I didn’t expect us to be able to win, and we were hindered by Success Weight and BoP. But the team staff did a great job of setting up the car, so I am so happy that we got this result. Also, it has been so good for me to be able to work with Fujinami-san and Kondo-san.”
Kiyoto Fujinami:“We did it! I want to thank everyone. Has this been the first win since 2022? A lot has happened since then, and I want to thank all the fans that have continued to cheer us on. This year we returned to SUPER GT with a new team and I am glad to have been able to give back something to by working with the team staff, the owner and the tire maker to get this win. Especially, Harry（King） is really a fast driver, and（Kondo）Tsubasa-san joined as our third driver for me, and in the last race he got 3rd place for us. With everyone playing a part, it is great that we got this win.”
Tsubasa Kondo:“Watching the race I was impressed by the speed of both of our drivers. But, I think it is quite a feat to have the team win in this first year of participation. I am very glad that I was allowed to be involved with this team.” (Kondo did drive in the race).
