Honda says its hopes of a turnaround in this year\u2019s SUPER GT title battle are pinned on the NSX-GT contingent scoring good results at Sugo and Autopolis.
Honda SUPER GT project leader Masahiro Saiki isn’t expecting a turnaround on home turf this weekend at Suzuka, where the brand has gone winless since 2018, but is optimistic of being able to recover lost ground in the two following races.
“In recent years, Suzuka has become a weak point for us,” Saiki said. “We haven’t been able to win at all. “Somehow at Fuji we’ve been able to score poles and podiums in recent years, so I was confident it would be okay this time, but our Achilles’ heel is Suzuka. “At Sugo and Autopolis we’ve had relatively good results, so I hope we can catch up and surpass our rivals there.”Reflecting on Team Kunimitsu’s season so far, Makino admitted wet weather in two of the four races held this year hurt the team’s chances, with both the Okayama curtain-raiser and the most recent Fuji race being dominated by Michelin-shod Nissans.
But like Saiki, Makino is looking forward to the Sugo and Autopolis rounds, which precede the season finale at Motegi in November.
