 SUZUKA STARLIGHT 1000KM
GRAND FINALE of the ataGO! J-Speed Association GT Masters Built on the grounds of sold-off hilly farmlands in the 1960s as Honda's motorsport home, Suzuka Circuit has been the site of many major moments in racing history. Its winding and overlapping figure-eight layout makes the track one of a kind, putting nearly equal stress on left and right tires alike; in addition, the numerous sweeping corners place an emphasis on medium-speed corner balance. No corner personifies the risk and reward more here than the infamous 15th turn named 130R, a high-speed left hander that will either grant legendary lap records or a violent unscheduled visit to the barrier. In 2011 Hisui Motegi was attacking this course in an attempt to break the Kaido Unlimited Monster record time, until their Supra suddenly snapped loose and speared driver-side first into the left-side wall. Despite Hisui eventually recovering from this incident, many say their aura of hostility haunts the circuit. Plenty of wonderful motorsport memories have been made at Suzuka Circuit, but the most relevant to the GT Masters' fandom as a whole has to be the 2003 championship finale held at the Mie-based venue. In the final five laps, Elena Celeste (in the Tsuchigami Honda NSX) and Jun Wakahisa (in the DROP HIME'S Supra) would have a duel for the ages under clear starry skies as the former would defend against every last lunge, dive, and attack the latter would throw. In the end, Elena would be immortalized as the first trans woman to ever win the Suzuka 1000km, and Tsuchigami no Kyojin as the first team to both ever win the J-Speed GT Masters under the new SUPER ONE rules and with an all-girls driver squad. Since then, many teams have rallied behind the Girls' Revolution and seek to set new firsts of their own. NPCs to watch: When you're so deeply immersed into motorsport culture that you've named one of your daughters after the circuit that you built your legacy on, that says one of two things; you should see a doctor, and that Suzuka is probably the only race track that you could name an heiress after and not sound like a weirdo. No surprise then that Tsuchigami no Kyojin have pulled out all the stops in both classes for one final chance at glory before the end of the year. Given that Mikado Project DSRE's squads drive the same cars, it is reasonable to expect them to be close behind. MagiNavi Explorer Core have proven to be a strong contender at this circuit, particularly because Bishop Halsey-Locke says the winding curves remind him of his favorite circuit back at home, Sonoma Raceway. His co-driver Remi Pouhon, is affectionately nicknamed the "Sweet French Roll" by local fans partly for his unsatiable desire for sweets, but also for a viral dance video where Remi "rolled" his arms to Eurobeat music.

Pre-Finale Interviews - GTE PROFujinami Roses & Fujinami Vertigo Racing Team{Interview} You were knocked out of contention for the championship at the penultimate race despite a number of strong performances prior; what do the Roses need to do if they hope to match the main Fujinami squads in the coming years?Ryuko: Gain a lot of experience. Since we are a new team in J-Speed we need to get more experience competing at this level since we lack in this the most. Why stick together with the Fujinami Vertigo teams? What's the main factor stopping your squad from becoming fully independent in the near future?Ryuko: This is the fiftieth time this season that people make me this question, the answer is simple, I'l stick together with my husband team forever, there's nothing that's gonna make me go fully independent, NOTHING. darkracer99{Interview} A seven point gap is certainly not insurmountable, but your rival is someone with numbers and quality on their side. Is it too late to mount a challenge knowing this?Our goal was to arrive at the Suzuka with a shot at the title, so you could say that all has gone according to plan! *laughs* Of course we would rather be leading and it's true that our rival can afford to literally throw cars at us if it comes down to that, but we've got a chance and that's all that matters. It's up to us to make it count. This race was not the first time the Allstar squad has cracked under pressure. During the Malaysia GT 300km, Taiga Fujiwara lost control of her car while lapping an AM class competitor. Do you see her as a liability to the team, given how your team has lost the championship lead?Absolutely not. It's easy to forget but for both drivers this is their first real title challenge at this level, so some mistakes under pressure are to be expected. Developing young drivers takes time, and as frustrating as the process can be sometimes giving up on a driver is the biggest mistake you can make. Win or lose this season has been extremely valuable for their development and they will no doubt be stronger because of it. Rumors are abound that the Nissan GT-R teams will be getting a significant performance handicap. If the Fujinami team lost to you because of this, would you still feel you've earned your championship victory?I must admit that I was quite surprised to hear this, a performance adjustment before the final round is an unprecedented occurrence. For the J-Speed Association to take such drastic measures the advantage must have been too big for them to ignore, because from a PR standpoint this can only be seen as a disaster. Should Fujinami Vertigo Racing Team prevail many will argue that they have had an unfair advantage the rest of the season, and if we usurp them then others will claim that the title was unjustly stolen from them. Either way a negative light will be cast on the eventual champion, which is surely the last outcome anyone wants. We can only hope that the changes work as intended and we get a close fight to give this season the finale it deserves. aarror{Interview} I'm sure being knocked out of the championship just before the finale must be a major blow to the team's morale. Are you still looking forward to fighting out for the wildcard Le Mans invite at Suzuka?Cornelia Biaggi, team principal: “Certainly we will keep fighting as if we were battling for the title no matter what situation we’re in. We have our pride on the line and to return to Le Mans after such a long time away would be the ultimate showcase of our rise from the ashes. Of course, even if we don’t manage to get an invite I must not put down our efforts this season. This team put their all into each round and our spirit never wavered. It’ll be exciting to see how much we’ll grow next year round once Hibiki takes their new role. It’s a new era for Neptunia Corse.” Despite all that's happened, do you feel your team has accomplished what it's set out to do so far? Two victories isn't many if you win at Suzuka, but what a second win it would be if you did, huh?Biaggi: I’m satisfied with our results, very much so. I think we’ve shown the others that we’re simply not just a history piece but a true army of prancing stallions. A win at Suzuka will have us celebrating for weeks but let’s not think about hypotheticals. For now we must get ourselves ready for our biggest battle yet. Any words of wisdom for the struggling Empress Project Victoria team? You've not just merely defeated them, they've been beaten to the ground!Biaggi: Hah! As if I have anything to say towards that snake Giovanna. Not only did she throw Katarina under the bus for a mechanical failure that she had no idea how to deal with, but she was so sure we’d falter and do a repeat of our failure over a decade ago. If anything else the tables have turned and I can’t wait to see her face when we travel to Suzuka. It’s so delicious… so, so delicious, like as if I were pinning her against the wall and seeing her squirm… ufufu~ maikoheart{Interview}To an outsider of the series, your time here at the GT Masters has been a struggle despite the factory backing. Were you perhaps expecting more out of the car this year, given teams like HIME'S were last year's champions? We were definitely hoping for a bit more and Bathurst certainly had us hankering for more. We looked at our competitive history with this car and felt with that step up to factory backing and the success that HIME'S had, we felt it was surely it would be a commonsense move. What's been the biggest problem your team has faced throughout the course of the season? Even our best analysts struggle to understand what's gone wrong.Overall, the amount of adapting we had to do. We really underestimated the effort needed not only to run 2 cars, but to also adapt to a series weight handicap format as well as the Hybrid system, which was by far our biggest stumble. We took on a lot thinking we were equipped but we've realized we were a bit over our heads in retrospect. Its a big lesson for us overall. Toyota has been threatening to leave the GT Masters for several years now. What would your team do if they were to pull all support for the series? Perhaps more importantly, do you believe a J-Speed GT Masters without Toyota's support would still have a long-lived future?Thankfully, we still have the longtime support of Exxo so while we wouldn't be entirely in trouble. That said, it would make for an interesting scenario as we (and I imagine many of the fans) couldn't imagine a world where a GT Masters without Toyota support would happen. racecar

Pre-Finale Interviews - GTE AMPegasus Motorsports{Interview} For a team that's only won a single race in the championship season, Pegasus have consistently been rated as one of the top teams in GTE AM to beat. What do you feel has been your greatest asset over the course of this year?If I had to pick one I would say our drivers. They have kept the car clean and given us a chance to be in contention in just about every round. We've heard a couple teams express interest in snagging up your drivers for a move up into GTE PRO for the 2022 season; think it's time for the squad to leave the nest, or is this team where you believe their wings will carry them the furthest?Of course we want to keep both Sakura and Nico. We have exceeded our own expectations for this season and we feel that we could accomplish even greater things with them. Given how well you've done even if you don't win the championship this season, where do you expect Pegasus to be in five years' time?I think we've proven that we can be competitive, and we hope to keep competing for race wins and championships either in the AM or PRO class, and hopefully doing it with Honda. tbwhhs {Interview}(Interviewer's Note: We're speaking with team principal Miku Akiyama, as with the Fuji Post-Race interview) In contrast to Pegasus' fairly large sponsor backing, Love Autosport seems to operate on a shoestring budget compared to even the usual backmarker teams. With the excellent season you've had, do you see this changing for next season? If so, do you plan on staying in JSGT's GTE AM class?Haha, I think we'll have to see on that; for now we're mostly focusing on Suzuka, but I will tell you that while it's still in very early stages, if it pans out, we may have something very exciting in the pipeline. Speaking of, what's the mood between you and your championship rivals at Maginavi Explorer Core and Pegasus Motorsports? Despite how fierce it's been on track, do you see a bit of yourselves in these other teams?I'll be honest, I haven't really gotten the chance to speak with either of them. Of course, we have lots of respect for both groups; they've both been very strong this season, and I must say I'm honored to have Love Autosport be on a similar level. You've had your eyes on the Coronet Powerworks' team for a while, given their status as a fellow team using J-Speed Super Two spec vehicles; would you say that you've far exceeded your benchmarks this year?Haha, I'd say that's an understatement. The help we had from Hyundai at the beginning of this year has proven to be extremely helpful for us, and I think we were really able to hit the ground running at Bathurst. I'll be honest, at the start of the season, I would have been really happy to be a midfield contender, so to be in contention for the championship going into the final round is kind of surreal, haha. But yeah, for now we're still concentrating on Suzuka of course, and we're hoping to finish the season as strongly as we can. Thank you; I'll see you around! bup! {Interview} Your team has been seeking a sense of belonging here in the paddock of the J-Speed GT Masters. Most teams these days would probably say you've more than earned your place here in the series, if perhaps begrudgingly so. Even without winning the finale, would you agree with them?This is a very hard question to answer, because I know we have irritated a number of the longtime competitors here for various reasons and I’m sure a good number of them still do not appreciate us even being here. That being said… respect isn’t something that is given out, it has to be earned. I think that despite our highs and lows in terms of results, we’ve managed to minimize the on-track conflicts and may have begun to earn the respect from the other teams that we compete against. Let's say the homologation eventually does expire on the Legacy B4 here in the GT Masters... does Seven Hoshi have a future in the series, perhaps fielding second hand equipment from other teams? Or perhaps would your sense of pride steer you into blazing a new trail?We don’t truly want to think about the point we’ll have to retire our beloved fighter, but there comes a point where it will happen. Honestly, I think we can resign ourselves to the inevitable retirement of the Legacy now that we have proven that the chassis is still a competitive racing machine that can fight for wins. As for a potential replacement… we’ve been approached by a manufacturer that we will not name that is willing to work with us on a new chassis based around a modern 4-door, but that’s all in the future for now. Anathema {Interview} The 370Z has certainly proven to be an excellent machine over the years, even if the previous few rounds have shown it in a less than stellar light; would you call this season with it a success, regardless of how Suzuka goes?Given the difficulty of racing competitively in this championship and against such high-quality teams and drivers, this season has been more than what was expected in terms of success. At the outset of our season, the goal was to prove our own worth to not just our fellow teams and drivers but also ourselves; I believe we have more than managed to make this season a success. With two podiums and a fourth place at Hokkaido, we can record this as a successful season. You've certainly had a lot of back and forth with the Seven Hoshi squad over the course of the year; has your opinion on its leadership and drivers changed at all?Ah yes, our old friends. Eventually it had to be asked about how we view Seven Hoshi Racing, and it might surprise some in the media to know that we still have a great relationship with them, their drivers, and the cantankerous old fart that is the driving force behind the whole operation. I myself still have many fond memories in the Saikou no Taikyu of on-track battles, off-track shenanigans, and a multitude of pranks that only exist once you step out of a race car and hand it off to someone else for a stint or three. On a more serious note, they have put in the effort needed to be viewed as a serious contender for race wins, and their driver pairing has an incredible young talent being developed – their win at Fuji in the Moonlight 500km is proof enough that they are a quality opponent for everyone. It's been a remarkably difficult development year for the Nissan Driver Development Program as a whole; with PRO teams like Frontier Autosport and Moriyama Speed Shrine knocked out of championship contention, alongside the torrid year that Tomoko Powered and RoninForce Duelists have had, it seems like your team are the only ones bringing in results in Nissan's home turf. Could you ever see yourselves moving up to PRO in five years' time?Moving up to the PRO class is something that we would love to do, but two things are sticking points and would need to be addressed first before that happens. First… if we were to move up into PRO, it would never be at the cost of success in the AM class, and if moving to the PRO class would seriously compromise our current effort, then we would be completely fine with staying in AM. Second… the number of entries in the PRO class itself, and not just the Nissan-backed teams. The Fujinami racing organization has proved that having as many cars as possible is a viable strategy, but large teams with multiple entries pose a problem for teams looking to move up from AM; are there enough entries available and guaranteed for the established teams and the teams that could move up into PRO, or do the teams who can afford to run as many cars have free reign to do exactly that? It is something that we will have to consider before making any decision. Anathema {Interview} Even if 8th in the Standings doesn't sound like much, it's a major accomplishment for a team new to the J-Speed GT Masters. In relatively unproven equipment with rookie drivers as well, not a lot of teams can grow this quickly. What's motivated your team to keep going, through the thick and thin?Bobster: In all honesty is all the opposite for us, given the circumstances I think it really put things in perspective. Ya see, after Sydney I think we really bit more than we could chew and all this came as a reality check after Sepang, and when that incident in London happened well... *looks at Rebecca which slightly nods while looking down* I think it was the time when we really needed a refocus. We made mistakes, we even had people that tried to sabotage us, or talking us down, but the thing is, as long as we stick together, it doesn't matter how many mistakes you make. How you get back up, is always more important of the number of times you fall. And this is how we came to this point. We're a... kind of a big messy family, but still a family. A determined one. As a smaller Exodus Era team that's resurfaced in what some now call the Augmented Era, what's your view on technology in the current motorsport landscape? Do you feel that things like AI-assisted strategic learning, onboard assistants, augmented reality helmet displays, and similar advancements take too much away from the drivers' ability?Rebecca: I mean... we never really used the AI strategies innit? *Dos Santos shakes his head to say "no"* Computers cannot really substitute the work of the people behind the scenes, is the reason why we have Lisa and Marie to take care of that. Especially Marie, despite being fresh outta uni did a stellar job so far. And after the whole affair with Ogami and Neucom, we kinda ditched the use of AI-generated strategies entirely for safety reasons. Alister: We did use a lot the ghost with the AR helmets though, that is a huge help in order to improve our times in Practice and Qualifying. For what I see, is better to have something that helps you rather than substituting your skills entirely. A good strategy I think is made of 20% skills, 30% knowledge and 50% guts. Rebecca: In detail, we are mostly driven by my brother's gut. Bobster: Which due to my age got a bit larger *laughs* is all added wiseness let's say... *collective laugh*For many, Suzuka is a track that brings visions of great races from the past, so much so, one of the team principals named their daughter after the track! Given your distant past in Grand Prix racing, what's your fondest memory of this venue? Or do you perhaps reserve that for the coming race ahead?Rebecca: Well me and Lisa here had a blast back in '95, it was our very last race in GP after we announced our retirement, we had a locked front row and we kept trading positions through the entirety of it. It was battling rather than racing, some people at the time referred to Suzuka as "the Round Table" because of that. But at the very last lap, with this lass tailgating me basically, I decided to just let her pass at the Spoon. No hard feelings, nothing, just a "you go, this one is yours". I think was just the best farewell present for everything she did for us as a teammate. Do you remember? You still had that wild hairdo as well! That perm... Lisa: Oh gosh! Back at the time my Oklahoma cowgirl spirit was really shining through isn't it? Rebecca: *laughs* Yeah now you're a bit more posh and stuff... Lisa: I mean, we change. Is part of life really. But yeah, that day was really unexpected and such a heartfelt moment I will never forget. It was then when I knew that we became friends for real and well, we still are friends until now. *shoots Becca a smile that could melt you through the camera*Rebecca: As for what awaits us for the next race though, I can safely say we will be ready for the long haul. I am not sure what is going to happen, but as long as I have my team by my side, we will be prepared for anything and we will not back down. robkta {Interview} A lot of teams were absolutely blown away by your pace at Fuji. Has your knowledge about the series reached a point where you and your squad feel they can confidently strike for midfield places?I don't think so. If you look at our average, you'll see that this and Sydney were just blips on a radar. For the record, as a roster starting from zero with no team development experience learning on the fly I think we exceeded expectations anyways. Being able to compete over the whole season as competitive as we did was a pleasure. The logistics from having a UK-based car manufacturer and a team headquarters thousands of miles away must be a nightmare to deal with; how much does Equinox's corporate side assist with the motorsports efforts?I'm in two minds with this. As I partially mentioned, the whole team was developing on the road. And this led to both sides of the table as I was learning everything as well with setting a car nobody expected to appear on those tracks with no past data or support from someone else. I don't know what will bring the fututre, but I hope those were only our first steps on the scene. Compared to the other all-Rookie team at Bobster Racing Systems, most of your performances have largely gone anonymous. Could the performance at Fuji indicate how far you've progressed relative to them?Well... that's a hard question... and I don't really have a straight answer for that. I think just a better team won in the final standings, even if I won few of the battles, including this time in Fuji. That's really all... I know that's not really what you were expecting from me, but let's be real, nobody really expected anything from us... so I think it's fitting to finish just below mid, but with two podiums on the record.

oh dear
not gonna lie, still kicking myself for choosing super sprint at hokkaido; I figured that would be my strongest track, and if not for that DNF, we probably could have gotten 2nd or maybe even 1st in the championship; ah well, it's tough out there
that genesis far surpassed any of my expectations anyways (I'm normally not very good at these manager-type games; if you saw my setups all season you'd know why); congratulations to all involved, especially Pegasus; that NSX was stupid fast every single round

oh dear not gonna lie, still kicking myself for choosing super sprint at hokkaido; I figured that would be my strongest track, and if not for that DNF, we probably could have gotten 2nd or maybe even 1st in the championship; ah well, it's tough out there
that genesis far surpassed any of my expectations anyways (I'm normally not very good at these manager-type games; if you saw my setups all season you'd know why); congratulations to all involved, especially Pegasus; that NSX was stupid fast every single round
Yeah, that's how it really be in these things - you roll the dice and sometimes you strike gold, and other times you get snake eyes. It was still a great run from you either way though, I hope you'll come back for the new campaign once that's all planned out~! |
