This weekend we will have R5 of the FIA GT1 World Championship in Spa-Francorchamps. Last year we took part in the 24h of Spa with the Nissan GTR for testing purposes and we ended up having a great result by achieving the podium. So we know that the GTR is very good around Spa in general. But this time the race is only one hour and we also carry 50kg of success ballast after being on the podium for the last 2 races.

I lived in Japan since 1994 and my first 4 years I lived in Gotenba, which is located near Fuji Speedway just at the bottom of Mount Fuji. But even though I used to ride up the roads leading up to Fuji or occasionally run partly up the mountain for training purposes, I never thought about walking all the way up to the top. Until a few days ago...

It turned out to be a fantastic result for us at my "home" race in Paul Ricard, which is only 90 minutes away from Monaco by finishing on P2. We qualified 3rd and opted to use our old tires from the free practice for our first stint with Peter for the QF race. Unfortunately that was a very difficult to handle and we dropped right through the field. We ended up in P9 and were obviously very disappointed to having to start the main race from so far back.

It was a tough week in Wimbledon for Kimiko and myself as we had to endure some tough first round losses. Even though we knew it was going to be a tough challenge for Kimiko in Wimbledon because of her injury since the French Open, it is always very hard to take a loss in 3 sets. I myself went from Wimbledon to Snetterton for testing in the GTR and that went quite well and we were able to improve the cars performance. We now hope that those changes will reflect in next weeks race at Paul Ricard.
