* 1st in the GT300 class
Five non-classified cars
51 laps, 157.40 km The McLaren combo showed both consistency and speed to claim the 1-2 finish on arrival to the JGTC scene. Eric Comas' blistering pace in the early stages just didn't pay off since his Toyota was too thirsty to last the distance, throwing away the 2nd place as a result. The Nissan camp fought well despite the relative lack of pre-season testing. Veteran Hasemi's Skyline made it to the podium while the F1 refugee Aguri Suzuki's spirited driving was something to write home about.
The supporting Japanese F3 race was also worth watching, with Juichi Wakisaka, Tom Coronel in the Tom's, Keiichi Nishimiya, Shigekazu Wakisaka (younger brother of JW), Go Shimizu, and Takeshi Asami as the first 6 finishers.
The next JGTC race is held at Mt.Fuji on May 4, and the JF3 round 2 will be in Tsukuba on April 21.
