The Kondo Nissan team has been stripped of its Suzuka SuperGT pole. It means Toyota now has a lockout of the front row, with the Fuji-winning 36 TOM'S car starting from pole:
It means that the #36 TOM'S Toyota GR Supra of Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata will start Sunday's 450km race from pole.
Hirate wrote on Twitter:"It seems the capacity of the fuel tank is over the limit by one plastic bottle's worth, and as a result unfortunately we failed post-qualifying vehicle inspection. "It's frustrating to lose pole for something not related to the speed of the car, but tomorrow we'll change our mindset and do our best."
Sasaki added:"In qualifying you run with a light tank, so it makes no difference, but it could have been an advantage in the race, so..." Toyota now has a monopoly of the front row with the Racing Project Bandoh machine of Sena Sakaguchi and Yuji Kunimoto starting second ahead of the Team Kunimitsu Honda NSX-GT.
