GT500 winners at last! sachafenestraz and M_Ritmo put on a clinic in their tomsracing Toyota Supra to take victory at Fuji Speedway:
Fenestraz and Miyata enjoyed a relatively straightforward run to victory in the 99-lap contest aboard their #37 KeePer-sponsored GR Supra, winning by 7.5 seconds over the #12 Impul Nissan of Bertrand Baguette and Kazuki Hiramine.
The status quo was maintained after the first round of pitstops, as Hirate pitted on lap 37 to hand over to Sasaki, and Fenestraz made way for Miyata on the previous tour. But it was a different story at the second round of stops. Nissan made it two cars on the podium for the first time this season, with both the Impul and Kondo crews taking their best results to date with their current line-ups.
The two cars that led the points heading to Fuji had contrasting fortunes, as Rookie Racing Toyota pair Kenta Yamashita and Kazuya Oshima only narrowly lost out to the SARD GR Supra of Yuhi Sekiguchi and Yuichi Nakayama - keeping them within a point of the championship lead. Hideki Yamauchi, who shares the #61 R&D Sport BRZ with Takuto Iguchi, had to work had to pass the Gainer Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 of Hironobu Yasuda in the closing stages after a number of fancied runners dropped out.
