It was another outstanding day at the Suzuka Circuit where the Porsches showed their dominance, leading the race from the start but penalties changed the order of the winning 997 GT3R, leaving China’s Peter Li Zhi Cong to claim the win for Asia Racing Team. The Series is in Japan as part of the Autobacs Super GT Round 5, 41st International Pokka 100km race. At the start it was Hisao Shigeta that had the best start, taking the lead from the pole Ferrari 458 GT3 of Mok Weng Sun. Mok was also passed by Hisamori Hayashi while Dilantha Malagamuwa in the Lamborghini LP560 GT3 dropped to fourth and Li propelled himself to fourth from eighth.
The GT Asia Series will continue with Rounds 9 & 10 held at the Autopolis International Circuit on 28-30 September before heading to be a part of the Macau GP at the Guia International Circuit for the Series’ Season Finale on 16-18 November.
