Touring car vet Osamu Nakako was unstoppable with his Honda Accord that crossed the finish line nearly twenty seconds in front of any others on the track in the first race. Second race saw a different scenario as Naoki Hattori and Takuya Kurosawa fought like nuts from the word go all the way to the flag in their Accords.
