Race day press conference by GTA (Masaaki Bandoh)

About working conditions improvement in SGT
-We carried out a questionnaire about working conditions to the SGT team.
-I believe we have to manage the working hours of race week.
About joint events with DTM
-There is a misunderstanding about Class One regulation.
-The SGT in 2019 is Class One "plus alpha", and the three company structure of Toyota, Nissan, Honda remains unchanged.
-And as for 2020, we plan to shift to class one regulations, but we do not think that we should move to now.
-We will never switch to Class One until we break the three company structure (Toyota, Nissan, Honda).
-As much as possible, we will reduce costs according to Class One regulations,
but in case it is impossible, we have no choice but to do with "plus alpha".
About GT500 BoP
We decided to put 10 kg on Honda this time in order to balance the performance according to Honda and team's effort.
