Subaru BRZ GT300 finish 9th at Fuji Speedway, 2nd round of Super GT

 The race was about to get underway in front of 57,000 spectators when it suddenly began to rain just before the 2:00 pm start, and the organisers made a hurried decision to change to a SC start, and so a Safety Car (SC) led the start of the race. With almost all cars coming back to their pit to switch to wet tyres during the 2 SC laps, Kouta Sasaki behind the wheel of the SUBARU BRZ also got over the unstable conditions at the beginning of the race on wet tyres. When track surfaces had dried up, he came back to the pit to fit slick tyres to his SUBARU BRZ. Sasaki then drove at a more fuel-efficient pace in the first half of the race because the team had made a 2-pit-stop strategy for this long race.
 

Sasaki then handed the car over to Yamano for the middle stage of the race. Yamano gradually picked up his speed as he got used to the dry conditions and moved up to 9th after the halfway point of the race before it started raining again. This forced him to come back to the pit to change tyres and at the same time, Sasaki took over the car. He finished the race without any problems in 9th to come home with the first points for the SUBARU BRZ.
