Chief Mechanic Mr.Koji Ikeya comment:
“This is all due to the engineers who devised a perfect setup, the drivers who utilized it and Yohokama who provided us with fantastic tires. We were able to get this result due to all the experience the team has built up together until now. We have pretty well maintained the same members since we were competing in the GT300. We have struggled to get the results we wanted since moving up into the GT500 but the steadfast teamwork from everyone got us across the line. I’m getting a little late in the years but I want to keep competing with all these guys.”
