Michelin tyres again dominated in the rain in SuperGT qualifying at Okayama despite predictions of a closer battle. Nissan drivers R_Quintarelli and chiyokatsumasa share their thoughts:

Quintarelli and Chiyo both told Motorsport.com that the evidence from Fuji suggests that, at faster tracks, the balance of power in wet conditions could change.

“But I knew we would be competitive here, except in huge rain. In heavy wet conditions I think we are still behind. Michelin’s window is more towards the damp conditions.”Chiyo, who drove the #3 car in Q1, added: “We saw the other tyre manufacturers testing new solutions at Fuji, which means they are closing the gap. But it always depends on the type of track, and how much water is on the track.

“Takaboshi was struggling more with understeer and the laptime suffered compared to car 23. But the fact Michelin is still stronger than the others means we could be P2.” The Kondo Racing car, which uses Yokohamas, qualified down in 11th place, while the Bridgestone-shod Impul car was 12th of the 14 runners in Q1.
