The Honda team that finished second in the Suzuka8Hours has been disqualified for a technical infringement:
The #104 Honda CBR1000RR-R crewed by Ryuichi Kiyonari, Takuma Kunimine and Ikuhiro Enokido has been excluded from the results after its fuel tank was found to be overcapacity during a post-race technical inspection.
As per the rules, a separate control test was conducted by a different technical director from FIM, who also found that the bike's fuel tank was beyond the maximum allowed capacity. It means the #73 SDG Honda bike shared by Naomichi Uramoto, Teppei Nagoe and Haruki Noguchi moves up to second place, while Mike di Meglio, Alan Techer and Tarran Mackenzie are elevated to the final spot on the podium, in a boost to FCC TSR Honda's hopes of the 2023 EWC title.
