Kenji Sasagawa (Team ZAP Speed) tweets the reason why Japanese teams were beaten at Macau.
That's because they are using default damper due to Japanese local rules for cost reduction.
In Japanese F3, damper modification is banned.
And yes.
Japanese engine is inferior to European engine.
But they can't modify because of engine homologation.
