No.36 au TOM'S GR Supra
Yuhi Sekiguchi
“Before the start, I was working more toward winning this race without fail than taking the championship title. I went out with strong determination to pass any car running in front of me. That enabled me to end my stint with the lead, and from there I encouraged Tsuboi-san to just, “Go for it!” (laughs). I know the condition of the tires must have been tight, but he managed them well to the end and was able to give us the win. So I am very grateful to him for that.”
Sho Tsuboi
“I was disappointed that we finished the qualifying in 4th position, but in the first half of the race Sekiguchi-san ran with all his heart to give us the lead. In my stint I knew that I had to do my best to go for the win. And since the championship title depended on the finishing places of the other cars, all I was thinking about was winning this race and making up for the fact that I had to retire from the race in Round 2 after running in the lead. Since I was able to help us win this race and take the championship title as well, there is nothing that could make me happier than this.”

Daiki Yoshimoto
“My feeling now is that, “We did it!” (laughs) Last season we struggled and finally got our first series points in the last round. But things changed completely this year with the new GR Supra and tires from Dunlop. Today we had decided to use the same type of routine as we used in Round 2, so we had Kohno-san run the first half, and I think it was the fantastic overtakes he made for us in that stint that made it such a good race for us. We have a strong affinity for Fuji, but this season I think we have also done well on other courses.”
Shunsuke Kohno
“Although we weren’t able to remain as title contenders, but since we had won in Round 2 at fuji this year, we worked hard to finish the season with another good result here. Since yesterday the condition of the car had been good and it felt like the weather had been in our favor as well, and then Yoshimoto-san ran so well to get us the good qualifying position of 3rd. Since we had also qualified 3rd when we won in Round 2, I felt that we had a good flow going. That is why I drove in the first half like I did then. Everything fell into place, and though we may have had some good luck in the end (machine trouble for the leader), I am very glad that we were able to get this second straight win at Fuji.”
