*Naoki Yamamoto says that they lost the 2nd round because he failed in Q2 (7th).
*Yamamoto says that the machine itself wasn't bad. they were able to fascinate the speed where necessary. However, they could not get out of the traffic because they had to start the race in a bad place in the middle of position.
*He says that he ended up in 7th place in Q2 because of his inability.
*He also says that this year's GT500 is difficult to increase pace when starting from rear-end.
If you get caught in a slow-paced machine, it's hard to get out of there.
*Makino also admits that racing in the traffic will slow down the pace. Although they are quick in qualifying, they must improve the race pace in the final race.
He think that race pace of #100 is inferior to #17.
*Yamamoto says that in Suzuka, the balance of power may change drastically. Initial set-up and tire selection will hold the key to the race.
