R34 GTR's Dominate Jap GT Champ Race at Fuji

[Neil]

The GTR of Richard Lyons and Masami Kageyama led home Benoit Treluyer and Yuji Ide for a One,,Two finish at Fuji. We beat the Supra's. The Supra of Tachikawa lead from pole and into the 1st pitstop but the Gtr of Lyons mowed him down,,,the Supra not able to keep the pace and hit a guard rail. 3rd place went to Domanik Schwager and Manabu Orido in a Supra,,but a hard charging Micharl Krumm almost made it a Trifecta.

Juichi Wakisaka and Akira Iida who won the 1st Round in their Supra,but only managed 30th at Fuji. there race was lost after 2 laps when they suffered steering problems and finally finished 30th.

So that means Nissan are leading after 2 rounds.

i dun think australia has these races. i have been to a race in sepang...that was back in 1990's hahahaha.

at that time they had the unisia jecs 33, the calsonic 33, but my reason for going.....the TAKATA NSX!!!!

if i remember correctly, the car was rated louder than a plane taking off. man that thing made some serious noise....

had a chance to stroll through the pits...u'd be forgiven for thinking u're in heaven.
