Honda's Nobu_Mat13 says staying 'super-relaxed' after his practice crash was key to he and Real Racing taking a vital win for their SuperGT title hopes at Autopolis:
The weekend started badly for the #17 Honda NSX-GT crew as Matsushita went off towards the end of Saturday morning's sole free practice session, hitting the barriers head-on and damaging the cooling system of the car.
"The weekend started with my crash, but the mechanics told me, ‘we can definitely fix that amount of damage [before qualifying], so just focus on driving and don’t worry about it’, so I was happy I could feel the bonds of trust," reflected Matsushita. Tsukakoshi had to deal with pressure from both the Team Kunimitsu Honda of Naoki Yamamoto and Kondo Racing Nissan of Kohei Hirate early in his stint, but finally pulled away to win by a comfortable margin of 13 seconds.
"This weekend was a roller-coaster so I breathed a sigh of relief, and we knew we had to win to stay [realistically] in the championship fight, so I’m glad I secured the result that we all hoped for."
