It's Nissan that leads on a rain-soaked opening day of Fuji SuperGT testing as Michelin-shod cars again show their strength in mixed conditions:
Mitsunori Takaboshi set the day's benchmark time of 1m36.400s aboard the #3 NDDP Racing-branded Nissan Z he shares with Katsumasa Chiyo in the two-hour afternoon session, when conditions were at their best.
Fourth place for the Kondo Racing Nissan of Kohei Hirate meant the top four was monopolised by Michelin and Yokohama tyre users. However, Bridgestone did set the pace in the morning session when the weather was at its worst, as Kenta Yamashita beat the two Michelin-shod Nissans aboard the Rookie Toyota.Running in a SUPER GT car for the first time since the crash at Suzuka in late January that left him with a compression fracture in his back, Yamashita set a best time of 1m40.533s, enough to beat the second-place #23 Nissan of Ronnie Quintarelli by 0.234s.
Seiji Ara set the car's best time of 1m44.502s in the afternoon session in the car he is sharing with Masataka Yanagida, with Bruno Spengler absent following his outing earlier this month at Okayama.
