No.36 au TOM'S GR Supra
Sho Tsuboi
Since Yamashita-san had given me a briefing on the conditions in his run in Q1, I was able to learn from that and run my time attacks accordingly. Although we couldn’t read the situation (concerning winning the title in the Qualifying) (wry laugh), we really wanted to win pole position, and we wanted to clinch the championship today. There are few chances to take titles like this (along with the Super Formula), so I am really happy. Being as cold as it is now, there is no predicting what will happen in tomorrow’s race, so I wanted to be relieved from this pressure as soon as possible (laughs). This has been great.
Kenta Yamashita
I am very happy (that we have won the title). Tsuboi-san did a great job for us in Q2. The fans watching may be disappointed that (we won the title in the qualifying), but since (Tsuboi-san’s double title with the Formula) depended on this, it was a great relief for me (laughs).
No.88 VENTENY Lamborghini GT3
Takashi Kogure
The car’s performance was great today. Not only me, but Motojima-san was also very fast. I am just glad that we got pole position. It brings us a big step closer to the championship (considering we were able to close the gap in series points). If we can run a good race tomorrow, that will make our chances even better. It will surely be a very meaningful race for us.
Yuya Motojima
We have a good role going (considering last round’s win after winning Q1), don’t we. But this pole position is certainly due to Kogure-san’s amazing time in Q1. My result (in Q2) was certainly due to his help. But we knew that we had to win this pole position, and it was great that this was realized thanks to the combined skills of the team, the tire maker, the drivers and everyone else’s and efforts. Now we just have to do our best in tomorrow’s race, and the rest depends on how our rival (No. 65) does.
