7/15
Motoyama, who had already been on his preparation laps in the #23 GT-R to warm up the tyres, returned to the pit to stand by. He kept up his energy and focus however, and when he returned to the track eight minutes later, warmed up the tyres again and marked the top time to that point. If there hadn't been any hiccups I think I would have had pole position, - he said. However, he appeared satisfied.
