2017 Japanese Super GT

[TF110]

Lexus expects Honda to be the best in the wet, we'll see if that plays out.

Sam Collins and British racing driver Charlie Butler-Henderson will call this weekend's race for NISMO TV.

[J Jay]

So it's Sam as usual and Vickie's husband then.

What's more confusing is the "for Round 1" prefix, which implies that the other commentator will be rotated or even be a new guest each race.

So much for consistency...

According to BOB-Suzuki blog.

@Japanese Samurai (sorry i m not urging you)
Can you help me to translate this article as soon as possible as shown as below???

Title: ソフトウェアエラー

実は昨晩からトラブっていて

様々な原因を探求しておりましたが

今朝まで掛かっても原因わからず

朝の練習走行中にようやく

ソフトウェアのバグとわかり

現在BMW Motorsportから派遣されたエンジニア

ネイサンリーチが修復中です。

BOPの値が毎戦違うし、

ハードのアップデートもしているので

昔のデータが使えないのが痛いです。

ここは僕らは触ってはいけない所なので

何とか予選までに修復出来るよう
祈るしかないんです。

Qualifying drivers' selection for this afternoon.

Software Error

We had a trouble from last night.
We were exploring various causes.
Even though this morning we did not know the cause.
Finally, in the morning practice sessions, we found a software bug.
Currently, Nathan Reach, an engineer of BMW Motorsport is under repair.
BoP value is different every round, and hardware is also updated.
So we can't use old data.
This is a place we should not touch.
So we can only pray that we can repair till qualifying.

The trouble has finally solved.
We finally found out the cause.
Ultimately, it was not a software bug, but an electric system trouble.
Good Job, Nathan!
I received encouragement gift from eager supporter Tomoko.
It was CALPIS MINTIA "Studie" model.
Great gift made with love!
Discover lucky Relief (in the tablet)!
So I tried searching. It was there!!
World class Seiji Ara seems to be busy.
The helmet for this season seems to have arrived.
The left is new version, the right is the last year version.
New version will be debut in next Fuji round with new racing suit.
We get rid of our boredom in different ways.
We will definitely show you overtake show from the last grid tomorrow!

We will continue to work in order to receive a checker flag at a better position tomorrow!
We understand the cause of the problem, but we are attentive at work!
Mechanic-san, Way to go!

Doesn't look good for the GT-Rs at the moment, none of them were in the top 10 in Q1. But we finally get to see an NSX-GT on pole position (is this the first time), partly thanks to the interrupted session but it still counts!

Top 3 in GT300 all broke the course record (Leon AMG, GSR AMG, VivaC MC86).

[The IC]

Yeah, surprised all the GT500 Nissans were at the very bottom

Also, JMS PMU RCF in fourth in GT300! Much faster than their teammate on Yokohamas...the Thai MC86 seems quite off pace too

[bentley speed 8]

Seeing the Nissans at the bottom is pretty unusual. Let's see what happens come race day.

[rjoconnell]

That's Kobayashi and ARTA's first GT500 pole positions since the 2010 Suzuka summer enduro:

And the first-ever pole positions for Naoya Gamou and K2 R&D Leon Racing:

That's a very good result for the RC F GT3. They were NOWHERE last year. The Bridgestone tires seem to be a good choice as well.

Not partly, but entirely thanks to the twice interrupted session. Nobody did a proper flying lap in Gt500 Q2, the front of the grid is effectively being arranged by fastest warm up laps.

I reckon this fortuitous pole for Honda will likely be a respite in a weekend of Lexus domination. Let's hope Honda will be close in the race.

The drivers in the #51 are much faster than the #60 pair, so perhaps a large portion of the gap between the two RC Fs can be accounted for by driver talent.

[carbsmith]

The ARTA NSX was only a tenth off the fastest Lexus in Q1. The Lexus are a bit out of order as well. So they might have a chance of staying up there, at least for a while. NSXs had awful tire consistency problems last season.

[rjoconnell]

Starting drivers for today's race

GT500


GT300



#22 R'Qs SLS AMG will move to the back of the GT300 grid with its 8 grid position penalty for overtaking under red flags in qualifying.

[J Jay]

Stream is live. Looks exactly the same as last year, bad chroma keying and all.

Edit - Red flag. Honda NSX-GTs striking en masse in support of their F1 brethren (likely electrical problems). Grid reset without the leading Hondas.

[kaivo]

3 hondas out lol before the start

[rjoconnell]

What in the wide, wide world 'a sports is-a goin' on here!?

[The IC]

Geez...three electrical faults before the warmup even finished...what did Honda do??? lol

[Japanese Samurai]

According to J-sports report,
The trouble cause of MUGEN was revealed, but there was no time to take a measure.

[J Jay]

Raybrig NSX stops and starts again but is likely suffering from the same problem as the others, GT-Rs are nowhere, particularly the Michelin-shod cars - this really is the Lexus Cup.

To clarify, a Mugen-sourced part is responsible for Honda's problem? A bit odd since the Mugen car is the only NSX still running, for now anyways. At this point they might want to park it to avoid more red flags...

As for MUGEN, it's yesterday's trouble.

[divxx]

Ah ok, thanks for the quick response.
