TOM'S Toyota pair Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata seized control of the SUPER GT title fight with a spectacular victory in the penultimate round of the season at Autopolis.
Tsuboi and Miyata carved their way through from 12th on the grid to score their second win of 2023 aboard the #36 Toyota GR Supra and take a seven-point lead in the championship with only the season finale left to run. In a thrilling and unpredictable 450km race, Miyata caught the long-time leading ARTA Honda of Hiroki Otsu in the closing stint of the race, with the pair engaging in a fierce duel for the top spot.
A nailbiting GT300 contest was won by Saitama Toyopet Toyota GR Supra pairing Hiroki Yoshida and Kohta Kawaai, as Yoshida held off the Inging Toyota GR86 GT of Yuui Tsutsumi and Hibiki Taira by just 0.6s. Yoshida and Kawaai's second straight win puts them on the cusp of the championship, as they lead with 20 points - Tsutsumi and Taira would need to score the maximum 21 points and hope their rivals fail to score to overhaul them.
