It's once again Honda and ARTA that lead the way on the opening day of official SuperGT testing at Okayama - but this time it's Nirei Fukuzumi in the 16 car topping the times:
Fukuzumi set what proved to be the day's benchmark time of 1m17.827s just under halfway through the two-hour morning session at the wheel of the #16 Honda NSX-GT he shares with new team-mate Hiroki Otsu.
Behind the two leading Hondas, the #36 TOM'S Toyota of Sho Tsuboi was next up, within two tenths of the pace, while Tomoki Nojiri made it three NSX-GTs in the top four in the #8 ARTA car. Toyota's remaining runners struggled for pace, filling out the final five places, led by the Rookie Racing GR Supra which is being driven single-handedly this weekend by Kazuya Oshima.Rising temperatures in the two-hour afternoon session meant there were no improvements compared to the morning in the GT500 class.
apr's brand-new hybrid-powered Lexus LC500h GT got off to a solid start with the sixth-fastest time in the hands of Kazuto Kotaka.
