Three of the cars that will fight for SuperGT title honours next month at Motegi have gathered at the track for what could be a crucial tyre test:
As well as the #12 Impul Nissan Z shared by Baguette and Kazuki Hiramine, the joint Bridgestone/Michelin test on Thursday and Friday will involve the #17 Real Racing Honda NSX-GT , the #23 NISMO Z and the #37 TOM'S Toyota GR Supra .
While Nissan already visited Motegi for a private test during the pre-season in February, this week's running will mark the first time that the 2022 versions of the NSX-GT and GR Supra will run at Motegi. "There’s a Honda using Bridgestone as well but we’ll have to compete against Michelin. This test will be important to get that data and choose the right tyres for the race.
"Motegi is a track where I am usually quite fast," said Baguette."All season the target is to arrive at the last race still in the fight. That’s been accomplished, and now we have to win the race, or at least be on the podium and hope the #3 and #17 are not in front of us.
