Subaru may have lost out on the SuperGT title last year, but it remained the dominant force in GT300 qualifying. Nissan says it wants a fair shot over a single lap in 2023:
The works R&D Sport Subaru BRZ, built to GTA-GT300 rules, took four pole positions and started from the front row six times out of eight during Takuto Iguchi and Hideki Yamauchi’s title-winning 2021 season.
By contrast, the title-winning Kondo Racing Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 of Joao Paulo de Oliveira and Kiyoto Fujinami never qualified on pole, taking a highest grid slot of third at Suzuka Round 3, and an average grid slot of 7.4 across the year. “Comparing the performance in qualifying with the #61 car [Subaru], it seems that our race results with the GT-R are good but our qualifying is quite slow,” said Matsumura. “So I hope they fairly adjust the BoP. “For our general customers [Tomei Sports, NILZZ], it’s quite difficult to challenge in the race. So I want them [the GTA] to check the qualifying. The race itself can be affected by strategy, pitwork, drivers’ skill… but qualifying is just pure performance.
