Toyota SuperGT team 38cerumo is hit with a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for this weekend's Fuji race:
Three-time GT500 champion Tachikawa wrote on his social media:"If you include the time loss of entering the pits, it means we will soon fall almost a minute behind after the start, but we'll do our best to make up for this delay!"Cerumo was one of three Toyota teams that served a penalty for the use of a third engine last year at Autopolis, but veteran pairing Ishiura and Tachikawa were able to recover on that occasion to finish second.
Championship-leading Nissan duo Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi were able to use a new engine and chassis penalty-free in the most recent Suzuka race, where they scored their first victory, as the damage from their huge crash in May's Fuji race was deemed to qualify as force majeure.
