#7 Sotaro Mimura

Time Trial: P3
Round 7 – Qualifying: P4, Final: P1
Round 8 – Qualifying: P1, Final: P2

Report:
Finally I did it! My first victory this season in round 7!
Everything went as planned from time trial to all sessions in Sugo, with the best performances that I could do.
In the long interval for about 2 months after the difficult week in Mobara, I had worked pretty hard with my team and YOKOHAMA members to improve our performances.
Words can’t express my feelings of achievement after working extremely hard with them.
Now onto the final round in Suzuka, focusing on the series title from 3rd position.
I will dedicate everything I got to win the championship that I have been dreaming of!
 
 
#43 Shunsuke Minagi

Time Trial: P5
Round 7 – Qualifying: P13, Final: P6
Round 8 – Qualifying: P2, Final: P5

Report:
The weather was too unstable to set a strategy.
Under the tricky conditions, I had good pace both in the 2 races and scored a lot of points.
Finally, I have reached the start line.
I will do my best to get better results in the final round.
