GT500 Class

No.100 RAYBRIG NSX-GT

 

Naoki Yamamoto

“In races you truly never know what is going to happen until the very end. I am glad that I was able to keep pushing and never give up until the end. Until now we have competed this season under the banner of the RAYBRIG brand (which ends it sponsorship as of this year), and I feel glad to have been able to give a performance worthy of this final run along with Tadasuke [Makino] and the team. And the reason we were able to do it was thanks to the support we got from the RAYBRIG people over the course of this year. And also because of the support from the people at Honda and Bridgestone Corporation. But in the end, I think we owe it most all to the people at RAYBRIG, so “Thank you!” I also want to say thanks to all of the fans who cheered us on.

“I still don’t know how to put this feeling in words. Car No. 37 led the race all the way, and although our (No. 100) pace was good, I never thought it would come to this great ending. Of course, this is my first (personal) win, and it is such a great thing that we got the championship as well. But, having raced this whole season with No. 37, I know how they must feel, too. This year, I have constantly been helped by the team and by Yamamoto-san, so I am really happy to have won the championship.”

No.52 SAITAMATOYOPETGB GR Supra GT

 

Hiroki Yoshida

“I am glad that we got these two wins at the opening round and the final round. This year brought some trouble getting adjusted to the new GR Supra, but after our owner, Hiranuma-san, decided to go with the new car this season, the team adapted to it and the people at Bridgestone Corporation prepared some fantastic tires for us. This time Kohta [Kawaai] got pole position in the qualifying for us and also gave a great performance in the race, so this is all just too good to be true.”

“We were able to win, but in terms of strength, I was still disappointed at being passed by No. 61 at the start. But I think I did the job that was required of me.”
