Q1: Toshiki Oyu 13th place / GT500 class 13th place【Driver Sasahara】

The qualifying for the SUPER GT Round 4 at Fuji Speedway has
just ended. Today's Fuji was so cool that I had doubt about it was
August, and we had a tough time heating the tires in the official
practice this morning.
We had hoped that we could manage to advance to Q2 in thequalifying, but unfortunately the temperature and road surface
temperature went down, and we could not make it.
But who knows what will happen in the race whose distance isquite long this time. I will simply look ahead and not give up to
spread opportunity steadily to win the race. I will do my best, soplease support us.

Disappointedly, the qualifying ended up with 13th place. I
was in charge of Q1 but could not pass the baton of Q2 to(Sasahara-san).

【Driver Oyu】

I tried changing the setting of the car in a short running span
but could not find the time to show the performance of thetires because I could not adjust the tires to the (lowtemperature) condition well. This can be a future
improvement. At least, I put out all my strength (in thisqualifying).

I think the weather will be better and the temperature will rise in the race. I believe
the driving environment tomorrow will fit our strategy that we have been preparing
through this race week. I will definitely show you a good run. The team is also
preparing for the race, fans, please look forward to the race and keep on supportingus, please.

Toward this 4th round, we came to the Fuji Speedway after repeated testing anddevelopment, but in the qualifying we could not advance to Q2. The result was 13th place,which was far from what I expected.
In the qualifying, the ambient temperature and road surface temperature were much
lower than we expected, and we could not bring out the performance of the tires. Since
the race will be long, we will never give up and try to get the top position. Thank you foryour support.

■August 7th (Sun) Race: GT500 class 13th place【Driver Sasahara】
The race was over. I was in 13th place, but I really did
everything I could do. My stint was double, and the pace after
changing the tires was good, and we switched our target toearning points.
Tires did not lose grip much, so I went without changing (tires)to get out in front of my rivals. However, the last 15 laps weretough because the tires lost grip.
There was something to be gained as a team through such achallenge. Believing that this challenge will lead to the next race,
we will do our best as a team.
I feel sorry for sending disappointing race result reports to everyone who supports meevery time, but I believe that one day I will be rewarded for my effort and then I will keepon doing my best. Please do not be fed up with but continue to support us. Thank youvery much.

The race was over. Unfortunately, we could not gain any
points. But I think we could try everything we could do.
It was a tough race anyway.
I noticed that the accuracy of the setup for the tires andpotential of the team have been increasing. I crashed in the lastrace, but thanks to the team's perfect repair of the car by thisrace (Fuji), I was able to run with confidence and no mistakes.

I have a good feeling for the next Suzuka. Of course, there are still some remaining issues,
and as a team, we need to solve such issues one by one to set the stage for victory. Thankyou for your continued support. I will do my best to deliver impressive performance toyou. Thank you very much.
【Director Tanaka】
It was a disappointing result, but I think the race itself was very good in terms of stabilityof race pace. The strategy without tire change in the second pit stop did not lead to theresult, but it could be regarded as a promising option and positive trial including thepossibility for winning in the future race.
We have not been able to produce any visible results, but we are definitely accumulatingpositive experience, so please look forward to our performance in the future and continue
to support us.
[Note] As a penalty for contacting with other car in the previous race, the team in thisround was notified in advance to be demoted from the result of the qualifying by fivepositions. Therefore, the ream started the race from the tail end, 15th grid.
