Tsuchiya Engineering is confident its Toyota GR Supra won't miss the SuperGT opener at Okayama next month despite suffering heavy damage in a crash at Fuji yesterday:
The #25 Hoppy-sponsored Toyota GR Supra GT was heavily damaged on Saturday morning when team newcomer Togo Suganami speared into the barriers exiting Turn 1 in the wet conditions.
However, Takeshi Tsuchiya's eponymous team is optimistic of being able to turn around the damaged car for the opening race of the new campaign at Okayama on April 15-16 following its latest setback. That means the team will be able to avoid a repeat of last year's situation in which the team was unable to return to the car's previous specification upon its return to action at Suzuka in late August.
