SUPER GT needs circuit-specific GT300 BoP, says de Oliveira
The Autopolis race was dominated by JAF GT300 cars, with Saitama Toyopet Toyota GR Supra pair Hiroki Yoshida and Kohta Kawaai securing their second consecutive victory. The Kondo Racing Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, the best-performing FIA GT3-spec car, finished fifth but did not have enough points to keep Lucas de Oliveira in contention for a third GT300 title. De Oliveira stated that it was not surprising that the lighter JAF cars performed well on a tire-challenging track, and he believes that the issue should be addressed. De Oliveira and Natori utilized an unconventional pit stop strategy due to the GT-R’s lack of top speed, focusing on avoiding on-track passes. Despite the disappointing end to their title bid, de Oliveira remains optimistic and looks forward to competing next year. In the upcoming season finale at Motegi, the GT-R will have an increased minimum weight but also a turbo boost increase to match last year’s levels.
