I did'nt qualify for Tokyo, since it is'nt a rolling start, the cars would not get a big headstart over me. As I started, I realised that I should of, the JGTC cars were quite alot faster than me of the line, but, the Penzoil slowed down, I guessed it was so it did'nt hit the Mugen in front, this allowed me to overtake the Penzoil just before the first corner, now, I was chasing down the Mugen NSX, I was very similar power ways, both NSX's, both around 470 Bhp, but, on the last corner, I taken a slightly diffrent line that given me a much faster exit speed, I was in 4th by the time I was on lap 2.
Drafting the Motul Pitwork on the straight brung me closer to it, the Pitwork was having trouble getting past the Castrol TOM's Supra, which was clearly holding it up, meanwhile, the Xanvai Nismo was becoming further away from the rest of the pack.
The Pitwork was overtaken where the Mugen was the lap before, and I was now drafting the TOM's Supra, which was overtaken literally on the Start/Finsh line onto lap 3.
Now, the Xanvai was 6 seconds ahead, and with 2 laps to go, I was rating my chances of winning low. After driving lap 3 as well as I could, I was 4.2 seconds behind. I noticed the Pitwork Z had overtaken the TOM's Supra and was closing in on me, that was more pressure.
It did'nt get any better, I finished the race in 2nd, loosing to the Xanvai by 2.1 seconds.

Qualifying first was a big advantage at Suzuka East, and the Xanvai Nismo starting 5th was another advantage.
But the slow start meant I was second coming into the first corner, behind the Motul Pitwork Z, and by the start of lap 2, I was still second, by 0.2 seconds, but an underbraking move into turn 1 saw me take first place from the Motul Pitwork.
My lead was gradually building up, I was 3 seconds ahead coming onto lap 4 with a best time of 48.894 seconds.
I heard lots of tyre screeching on lap 5, but it did'nt put me of my driving, as I was now nearly 4 seconds ahead, with a laptime of 49.219 seconds.
But all was lost on lap 6, I braked to late for turn 1, putting me in the sand, and around 0.7 seconds ahead of the Pitwork Z, it was worse, accelrating to early on the last, long turn put me onto the grass and into second, 1.3 seconds behind coming onto lap 7, with a lap time of around 54 seconds.
By lap 10, the lead was down to 0.6 seconds, I thought I had a chance now, my tires were nearing yellow, but they'd last without having to pit.
Lap 11 is when I overtook, underbraking into the first corner, I pulled away slightly and was 0.8 seconds ahead coming onto the final lap (lap 12).
I driven smooth and carefully, but not to slowly, and I won, by 0.9 seconds.
