Super GT Round 3: Sepang International Circuit

**TYPE-ONE** · 01-07-2005 07:02 AM

NSX machines in the top class came 2nd, 5th, 8th and 10th.

A much better result than the other rounds due to a transition from a turbo engine to a newly developed NA engine.

Honda introduced this new engine in this round, and it led the ARTA Team consisting of Drivers Ralph Firman (EX Jordan F1) and Daisuke Ito to Pole Position for the race.

After the race, they fin a strong 2nd, 10 places higher than their efforts in last round at Fuji International Speedway (2005 configuration).

Congrats to ARTA and Honda Racing Japan for their successes.

The next round is Sportsland Sugo. Time for Honda's to take over Nismos supremacy.

1st: Motoyama/Lyons -------------Xanavi Nismo Z
2nd: Firman/Ito--------------------ARTA NSX- Honda Racing
3rd: Tsuchiya T/Courtney (Aussie Dude)--Dynacity Tom's Supra
4th: Wakisaka/Iida-----------------Esso Ultraflo Supra
5th: Matsuda/Lotterer-------------EPSON NSX
7th: Michigami/Kogure-------------TAKATA DOME NSX- Honda Racing
10th: Phillipe/Dufour---------------RAYBRIG NSX

I think Katsuhiro Keinishi moved to another category. Possibly F3000 or Formula Nippon.
