Yuichi Nakayama claimed the third spot in the SARD Toyota, narrowly beating Kazuya Oshima in the Rookie Racing Toyota. Giuliano Alesi could only qualify fifth in the #37 TOM’S Toyota, while Ukyo Sasahara, his teammate, had set the fastest lap in practice and the first segment of qualifying. The Nissan teams struggled, with the championship-leading #3 NISMO Z finishing in ninth place, the best result among the Nissan GT500 cars. In GT300, Yuui Tsutsumi secured the first pole position of the season for the Inging Toyota team, followed closely by Hideki Yamauchi in the Subaru.
