No.37 KeePer TOM'S GR Supra
Ryo Hirakawa
“Last year I had to swallow my pride when our team' substitute driver (Kenta Yamashita filling in for the absent regular driver) took all the glory (of pole position), and this year the same thing happened (laughs). Since Sasha (the team's regular driver Fenestraz) couldn't be here, Sakaguchi took his seat and did a great job in the official tests, and since the car had been set up in a condition that felt really good, I think everything went very well. Since the race isn't until tomorrow, I can now be happy about our getting pole position and just think about driving hard tomorrow."
Sena Sakaguchi
“This time I want to thank everyone at TOM'S for calling me in as a substitute driver and at K-tunes for giving their approval. I was able to run in both of the official tests, so I felt like the car was really mine. The team and Hirakawa-san were so reliable and supportive that all I had to do was go out and push hard. Hirakawa-san kept giving me advice right up to the start of Q2, and I was able to get pole position by just following his advice, so I am very grateful."
No.11 GAINER TANAX GT-R
Katsuyuki Hiranaka
“I really didn't think we were going to get pole position. During the official practice and in Q1, the GR Supra GT was very fast, so I went into (Q2) thinking that we would be doing OK to get perhaps 10th position, so when I made my time attacks and the times were so good, it really surprised me. Since we will be starting from the very front in tomorrow's race, I want to work hard to keep that position so we will have a good race."
Hironobu Yasuda
“I also didn't think we were going to get pole position, but Hiranaka-san ran fantastically well in Q2 and I am grateful for that. I am glad that I will be starting from the very front in tomorrow's race. I want to do my best to run a race that will thrill the fans who will have gone through so much to come here and to everyone who will be watching on TV."
