Bertrand Baguette admits that the safety car and red flag in last weekend's Sugo SUPER GT race 'saved' the Impul Nissan squad's title chances, as he and Kazuki Hiramine came through to finish fourth.
It puts the defending GT500 champions on 32 points, with a 19-point deficit to the championship leaders with two races to go at Autopolis and Motegi.
"We were struggling on our qualifying tyre, so we went long and we hoped for something to happen, which it did with the safety car and the red flag. However, Baguette feels the team made a step forward in this month's in-season Motegi tyre test, where the #1 Nissan was among the fastest cars in the long runs despite being the slowest 2023 car over a single lap.
