Dunlop believes it has got to the bottom of why its GT500 cars have struggled so much in SuperGT so far this year:
Both of the GT500 cars supplied by Dunlop, the Team Mugen and Nakajima Racing Honda NSX-GTs, have struggled for performance so far this year, with the former team having managed just half a point so far in 2022 and the latter yet to finish in the top 10.
Dunlop Japan's motorsport department manager Yoshinao Yasuda is confident that such issues won’t be repeated. “I don’t think we’ll see that one-lap ‘glory’ like we saw in previous seasons, but we should be stronger for the race from now on.” While Mugen failed to finish at Suzuka, Nakajima Racing pair Takuya Izawa and Hiroki Otsu came away with a disappointing run to 11th out of 12 finishers after electing to revert to a 2021-spec tyre.“We didn’t expect a good result with the #64 using an old tyre,” said Yasuda. “The drivers were sceptical about the development we had done this year and they wanted to try the old spec again at some point.
