GT500クラス

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.56 Realize Nissan Automobile Technical College GT-R

 

Kiyoto Fujinami

“I have been supported by a lot of people around me until now, so more than anything, I wanted to pay back my debt to them with a good result. This year I learned so much by being fortunate to have J.P. [Joao Paulo de Oliveira] as my driving partner, and everyone on the team did so much to help me, so it was truly a great environment to work in. Going forward, I still want to work harder, but right now I am very happy, and relieved.”

“At the start of this season, I had no team to drive for and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to race. So, I am so glad that Manager Kondo asked me to come and I was able to race with this team. My partner Fujinami-san really drove fantastically throughout the season. Thanks to the work of the engineers and the mechanics, we had a great car, and we drivers also worked hard to be able to get this championship. I am very, very happy.”
