SUPER GT: UpGarage Honda stripped of last-gasp Sugo win

In a thrilling finish, the #18 UpGarage Honda NSX GT3 claimed its third win of the season after the leading Saitama Toyopet Toyota GR Supra ran out of fuel just before the finish line. Takashi Kobayashi overtook the struggling Toyota driven by Hiroki Yoshida in the final stint to secure victory by a narrow margin of eight tenths of a second. However, the #18 car was disqualified in the post-race technical inspection due to a ride height infraction. As a result, Yoshida and Kohta Kawaai of the Saitama Toyopet Toyota were awarded the win, their first since the 2020 season. This disqualification also has significant implications for the championship standings, as Kobayashi and Koide were set to take a commanding 15-point lead but now trail by 10 points behind Yoshida and Kawaai, as well as Seiji Ara of Team Studie BMW. The revised results are still provisional at the time of publication.
