That sucks. Ishiura and Wakisaka got the win for the Denso SC430! The rain at the end really spiced things up!

the rain ruined the calsonic gt-r race that used an aggressive strategy going to pit during safety car! the car had already consumed tyres after more than 50 laps and in that condition of wet simply the car was undriveable. Are there news about tim bergmeister conditions?

Fuji round race-day press conference by Masaaki Bandoh (chairman of GTA)
*We are still continuing negotiation with DTM. *Although we agree on collaboration, there are arguments about the stance to the race. We will not change the race style of SGT (pair driver/joint race by GT500 and GT300). We also would like to maintain "multi-make" stance (tyre/parts). *We would like to value Japanese motor sports industry, technical competition, and hybrid technology. We would like to respect these and to cooperate with DTM. *Actually, GTA staff visited Hockenheim (first round of DTM). *We welcome participation of DTM machine for next season. http://as-web.jp/news/info.php?c_id=2&no=40687 |

Still, having the Shiden and the GSR Z4 at podium make me smile. OFF-TOPIC: Maybe next time, I hope there's an alternative live-stream for the next race. |

Just seen Tim's crash, looks like the left rear tyre let go coming down the front straight.

There's stuff floating around Facebook stating that Tim has serious lung injuries, fractured ribs and is currently in ICU. They're asking people to pray for him. I sincerely hope that these are unfounded exaggerations and that Tim is not as serious as we're being led to believe.

Oww, hard crash... Hopefully he'll be fine, best wishes to Tim. Fuji always seems to have the worst accidents!
Don't think there's been any news other than what the others have said already, SGT tweet seems to indicate he's out of the woods, serious but stable. 'Tim Bergmeister選手、救急搬送されたが命に別状はないという。ホントに良かった。。ART TASTEはマジで速かったから次戦にもぜひ参戦して頂きたい。' |

An Update from Joerg
update on Tim: Tims condition has stabelized. He has severe lung injuries and the doctors are trying to safe his left lung while the right side is in much better shape. within the next 2 weeks we will know how it goes. His brokes bones are no issue right now and the good thing is there are no head injuries nor damage to the spinal cord. Please keep your fingers crossed for him. Thank you for all the messages. I will keep you updated. Jörg |
