JGTC 2007 - Round 1 - Suzuka Circuit

Submitted by Dan Mazzella on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 12:28pm

The #7 RE AMEMIYA RX-7 piloted by Hiroyuki Iiri and Ryo Orime finished in 9th place off 1'36.790 seconds from the race leader, the Endless Advan SENZAIKAKUMEI Nissan Z.

Under a 30,000 person audience, the weather was clear and dry on the 5.807km course, with a 12C degree air temperature, the road surface was 22C degrees.

The GT-300 class race started out with an unexpected spin by the third qualifier, No. 43 ARTA Garaiya (Morio Nitta) during the formation lap. Meanwhile, the No. 13 ENDLESS ADVAN SENZAIKAKUMEI Z (Masami Kageyama > Tomonobu Fujii) , which had recorded the fastest times on all the sectors of the course during this race weekend, started the race in perfect form.

Once in the lead again No. 13 ran consistently and was never threatened again. This win gave Kageyama his second GT300 class victory. When his GT500 class wins are added, he has a total of nine SUPER GT and JGTC career wins.
