ARTA Honda driver Hiroki Otsu has conceded he was “too soft” in his defence of the lead against Toyota man Ritomo Miyata in Sunday’s Autopolis SUPER GT round.
Otsu and Miyata embarked on a thrilling duel for honours in the penultimate round of the season, with Miyata ultimately coming out on top in the #36 TOM’S Toyota GR Supra he shares with Sho Tsuboi to take the lead of the championship. The #16 ARTA Honda NSX-GT of Otsu and Nirei Fukuzumi, who took pole on Saturday, finished second but will head to next month’s Motegi finale facing a daunting deficit of 13 points with only 21 on offer.
” Otsu added that, with he and Fukuzumi now needing a miracle to claim the championship, he will simply aim to score a second victory of the season in the Motegi finale. “The championship is looking tough, but we have a really strong package, and we’ve always been at the top in the last few races,” he said. “We have made some mistakes, but everyone in the team has done a great job, so for the final race I want to aim for the win as a culmination of all the work we’ve done this season.
