Honda’s SUPER GT project leader Masahiro Saiki has lavished praise on the marque’s two GT500 rookies, Iori Kimura and Kakunoshin Ota, for their performances at Autopolis.
Both top-class debutant Kimura in the #100 Team Kunimitsu Honda and Ota in the #64 Nakajima Racing NSX-GT were singled out for praise by Saiki in his post-race press conference following the penultimate round of the season. Kimura was drafted in to join the Kunimitsu squad alongside Tadasuke Makino for Autopolis and the season finale at Motegi after Naoki Yamamoto was sidelined for the final two races of 2023 in the wake of his huge accident at Sugo last month.
“Ota was really consistent for the final 25 or 30 laps. It feels like the young drivers are really coming along leaps and bounds.” Author’s view: Kimura and Ota well-placed for 2024 As the SUPER GT silly season hots up, Honda’s young guns look like they could be in line for promotions should the marque perform another GT500 reshuffle.
