YART Yamaha is confident about its prospects for Suzuka 8 Hours after qualifying second behind HRC:
In the absence of a factory entry from Kawasaki, YART has taken up the mantle as nearest challengers to the works Honda team, topping the opening two legs of qualifying and finishing right behind the pole-sitting HRC squad in the Top 10 shootout.
However, the Austrian squad is also gunning for a maiden podium in the Suzuka 8 Hours, having come close on a number of occasions in the past against heavy opposition from works entries. Hanika posted a time of 2m05.519s in the first part of the Top 10 Trials to outpace Vierge, but YART had no answer to HRC’s pace when Nagashima lapped the circuit in 2m05.329s while going up against Fritz.
Fritz lost ground in the final sector and could only set a time of 2m06.115s, but hopes YART can achieve its dream of finishing on the podium for the first time come Sunday.
