GT500 Class

No. 12 CALSONIC IMPUL GT-R

 

Kazuki Hiramine

“I really have no words to explain how I feel right now. It has really been a long struggle (to this win). I know our IMPUL fans and everyone supporting us have been waiting for this win, so I am so sorry that it took this long. We have only been able to come this far thanks to your cheers of support. I want to thank you all so much!”

 

Nobuharu Matsushita

“Thank you all so much. We have all struggled so hard and suffered so much disappointment to reach this day. During the official practice on Saturday, I was really scolded by Manager Hoshino. But after being able to finish 3rd in the qualifying, he told me I would be responsible for starting the race. At first, I wasn’t able to pick up the pace, but in the end, we were still able to win the race. It is only thanks to Kazuki (Hiramine) and the team that I have been able to be part of this win in my first season in GT500, so I want to say thank you to everyone.”

 

 

 

 

 

GT300 Class

No. 61 SUBARU BRZ R&D SPORT

 

Takuto Iguchi

“This is really great! I can’t remember how many years it has been since I was given the job of being the starting driver. Since the team gave me this important role in such a big race, I did everything I could to open up as much of a lead as possible over the cars behind me. I was able to pass the lead on to Yamauchi-san and he ran so well to give us the win. There have been some difficulties in breaking in the new BRZ this season, but the work of the team and the tire maker has paid off to give us this fantastic race week.”

 

Hideki Yamauchi

“Watching how hard Iguchi-san worked in the first stint to get such a lead over 2nd place, I knew I had to do my best as a driver, so I gave it my all. The remaining races of the season will be our “show time,” and since we will have a chance to show what we can do, I want to give it my best and work with Iguchi-san to win the season championship we want so much.”
