'We’ll be slower in a straight line than the JAF GT300 cars. Honestly, we’ll have no chance.' Goodsmile Racing's TK_KATAOKA thinks SuperGT's current BoP means winning anywhere besides Fuji is impossible for the Mercedes:

Kataoka said that unless further changes are made to the BoP, the Fuji race represented Goodsmile’s last realistic chance to win a race this year.

“But at places like Suzuka and Motegi, we go back to 2x34.5mm, and if it’s like this we’ll be slower in a straight line than the JAF GT300 cars. Honestly, we’ll have no chance. “I hope we get the chance to make up for this frustration. The BoP is reviewed every now and again, so I don’t want to miss out next time we have the chance.

“Everyone around us was struggling with the lower-than-expected temperatures, and looking at the tyres it was a tough race for everyone,” said Kataoka.
