The #37 TOM'S Toyota finally felt 'back to normal' in last weekend's Autopolis SUPER GT round after languishng off the pace in recent races, according to Ukyo Sasahara.
Alongside team-mate Giuliano Alesi, Sasahara headed into the penultimate round of the season 15th and last in the GT500 standings with just nine points to their credit in the opening six races of 2023. But Sasahara kicked off the Autopolis weekend with the fastest time in practice on Saturday morning, which he followed up with the quickest time in the first segment of qualifying, and although Alesi was only fifth-fastest in Q2, Sasahara was fastest again in warm-up.
' However, Sasahara's satisfaction with pace he showed was tempered by frustration at two rapid-fire full-course yellow periods that prevented him from completing his first stop for two laps in succession. The first of these was called when the Yogibo Racing Honda GT300 car shed its front-left wheel, falling just as Sasahara passed the closed pit entrance, and the following lap the FCY was deployed again when the Yogibo car ground to a halt at Turn 1 having made it back to the pits.
