Roberto Merhi feels first SUPER GT victory now within reach
Former Formula 1 driver Merhi and his team-mate Katayama finished third at the recent race in Sugo, matching their previous finish in Fuji. Merhi believes that the team had the potential to win on both occasions if luck had been on their side. He sees the upcoming Autopolis round as a chance to finally secure the team’s first victory in the GT300 class. Merhi is confident in the team’s improvements since last year and their balanced setup. Despite the weight handicap, Merhi believes they have a competitive car and a chance to win. The team’s podium finish at Sugo was partially affected by damage to the front splitter and a delay during the pitstop, but they still managed to secure third place.
