Team Kunimitsu takes last pole position of the year

This is what we call perfectly mastered qualifications from Team Kunimitsu. With Tadasuke Makino at the controls, the No. 100 Honda NSX-GT dominated the proceedings this Saturday near Motegi where the finale of the 2022 Super GT season takes place.

Still maintaining chances of being crowned despite a delay of 17 points on leaders Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsuno Takaboshi (NDDP Racing), Tadasuke Makino and Naoki Yamamoto will start from pole position this Sunday at Motegi. It was Tadasuke Makino who stood out during Q2 by beating the track record with a best lap of 1'35"194 ahead of the duo Yuji Kunimoto-Sena Sakaguchi (Team Bandoh) by more than a tenth. Associated with Kazuki Hiramine in the N°500 Nissan Z GT12 of Team Impul, Bertrand Baguette will start in the 2^e line after 3^e time in these qualifications. At the head of the championship, Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsuno Takaboshi finished 4^e more than 7 tenths of the best reference.

Respectivement sur les Toyota GR Supra GT500 N°37 et N°36, Sacha Fenestraz et Giuliano Alesi ne sont que 14^e and 15^e and did not make it past Q1 at Motegi.
