GT500 Class

No.8 ARTA NSX-GT

 

Tomoki Nojiri

“As soon as I caught up to the early leader (No. 64), I wanted to pass it right away. With strong determination I was able to make the overtake with good timing. I was also fortunate to be able to expand my lead after that. The team did a great job of preparing the car for us, and we got a lot of great development cooperation from Honda to increase the potential of the NSX-GT for all the teams. I think that is what led to this performance in the race.”

 

Nirei Fukuzumi

“Until now, we had often been able to start from up front [pole position] but the races had not gone well, so I felt worried again today … (shedding tears). I am glad that we were finally able to win. I want to thank everyone.” No. 56 Realize Nissan Automobile Technical College GT-R

“I am really so very happy! Things weren’t going badly for us this time, but our rivals were really fast. In the last race as well, we benefitted from the timing of the Safety Car intervention, but this time we were able to set the tab straight, so it was really great. As long as we are in this environment with this team, we need to produce [good] results, and we have gotten help from the school’s students as well, and we are grateful for the nearly 300 who came out to cheer for us today. It is good now to be at the top of the standings, but we can’t get complacent. We want to finish the final round in the best way possible.”

 

Joao Paulo de Oliveira

“Thank you, everyone! We were in a tough position where we had to control the race. It was a long stint [in the second half] and Taniguchi-san in car No. 4 was closing in. Still, I was able to enjoy the race, and since we are now the leaders in the championship title race, this has really been good.”
