Reigning GT300 champion Kiyoto Fujinami has apologised for a violent incident after losing his factory Nissan drive in SuperGT.
While details of the incident remain unclear, multiple sources have indicated to Motorsport.com that it relates to Fujinami punching one of the drivers belonging to his KF Motorsport team that races in the Fuji Speedway-based Vita Pro series.
“That I fell into such a situation as part of my role in leading drivers has made me keenly realise my immaturity. I will take this as a lesson and devote myself to ensuring that nothing like this ever happens again.” Fujinami appeared poised to finally make the step up to the top class after achieving his second GT300 title alongside de Oliveira, and replacefor a second season, with Nissan opting to make no changes to the driver line-ups across its four-car GT500 stable.
