Round 4 of the Super GT Championship was held in blistering heat at Fuji Speedway last weekend and the #24 D'station ADVAN GT-R of Daiki Sasaki and Michael Krumm grabbed victory in the GT500 class. With this the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT500 has achieved a 3-round winning streak, following on from round 2 at Fuji and round 3 at Buriram, Thailand.

Having achieved very good results thus far in the season, both the #1 GT-R and #12 GT-R have been assigned handicap weights exceeding 50kg. Consequently, they have been fitted with fuel restrictors that limit the supply of fuel to the engine. As a result, the two cars struggled during the official qualifying sessions, leaving the #12 starting the final race from 8th and the #1 from 11th on the grid. Starting behind the wheel of the #24 GT-R, Krumm protected their 6th position in the opening stages and then went on to climb up one spot before handing the car over to Sasaki.
