Regrettably, I misjudged and collided with Imada. Although I won the race, I am not satisfied with this kind of victory. I am aware of Nobuhiro’s remarkable racing talents and I eagerly await the chance to have a fair race with him in the future”. Mokoto Fujiwara, first classified Trofeo Pirelli Am: “I am elated to have won two consecutive races, but disheartened that I couldn’t keep up with my competitors and take the overall championship. Nonetheless, this being my last race of the season, I am determined to sharpen my racing skills with Formula car racing and come back stronger to compete for the overall championship”. Eric Lo, first classified Coppa Shell: “Experiencing the incredible feeling of staying in the lead throughout the entire race was truly amazing. With a bit of luck and some consistent driving, I managed to keep everyone behind me. I was fully aware that I couldn’t afford to make any errors, so I kept my attention firmly on my driving and nothing else. Even though I haven’t raced at Autopolis yet, I’m determined to practice on the simulator at home and walk the track beforehand to gain a greater understanding of it. My ultimate goal is to keep winning, and I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to make that happen”. Masato Yoneoka, first classified Coppa Shell Am: “Today’s race presented me with the chance to overtake the driver in front, but I chose to play it safe and ensure I finished. Now, I’m excitedly looking ahead to the next round at Autopolis, a track that I’m very familiar with. I’m determined to go all out and aim for consecutive victories.”Yudai Uchida, first classified Trofeo Pirelli: “After making adjustments to the balance of my machine yesterday, I was able to keep a consistent speed during today’s race.
