The 8 ARTA Honda has been handed a stop-and-go penalty in this weekend's Okayama SuperGT opener for an unauthorised chassis change:
ARTA’s #8 Honda NSX-GT has been handed a five-second stop-and-go penalty for this weekend’s opening round of the new SUPER GT season at Okayama.The car shared by Tomoki Nojiri and Toshiki Oyu has been handed the penalty for a change of chassis, something not permitted by the regulations except in cases of force majeure.
That will almost certainly drop the #8 car to the rear of the field, although forecast rain and the increased potential for safety cars could help bring the team back into play.ARTA’s decision to change its de facto number one car’s chassis for the start of the new season follow Nojiri’s comments made during pre-season testing, when he said he was surprised how different the Mugen-run squad’s two cars were behaving.
ARTA has become the third team in the GT500 class to perform a chassis change this year, after Toyota team Rookie Racing and fellow Honda squad Nakajima Racing.
