Nissan set the pace on the opening day of a crucial in-season SUPER GT test at Motegi on Tuesday, as next year's GT500 development cars continued their running.
A total of 10 cars have been in action across the two-day test, which concludes on Wednesday, with seven current cars joined by a single development car each from Nissan, Toyota and Honda.
Unlike last year, when Bridgestone and Michelin held their in-season Motegi test separately from Yokohama and Dunlop, all four tyre manufacturers shared the track on this occasion.Heavy rain on Monday meant the track was green for Tuesday's pair of two-hour sessions, but it was the NISMO-run NDDP Racing Nissan Z of current points leaders Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi that set the pace in both the morning and the afternoon.
TOM'S Toyota duo Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata ensured all three manufacturers were represented in the top three in both the morning session and across the day. Impul drivers Bertrand Baguette and Kazuki Hiramine carried out the initial running at Okayama on Bridgestones, but the car is being run on Michelins this week as Nissan continues to evaluate its 2024 aerodynamics package.
