After the excitement at the end of yesterday’s practice session, we came into qualifying today.
The result was 9th place, though honestly we are not too concerned about qualifying position itself.

However, the reality is that we are now facing a mountain of problems. In fact, we are also dealing with engine issues at the moment.
Right now, the mechanics are working desperately to solve them.
They will probably continue fighting late into the night again today.
We are steadily preparing with our sights firmly set on the final round, the Bol d’Or.
And for that very reason, it is absolutely essential that we give everything we have toward solving the problems we are facing here at the Suzuka 8 Hours.
