'The BMW is clearly really good. I think they have serious speed in that car.” Kondo Racing's JPdeOliveira is taking the threat from the Studie BMW M4 GT3 seriously in the fight for SuperGT GT300 title honours: kondoracingteam
Studie duo Seiji Ara and Tsubasa Kondo - standing in for an absent Augusto Farfus - converted pole into the team’s first GT300 win as an independent team, catapulting themselves to second in the drivers’ standings in the process.
“The BMW is clearly a really good car,” the Brazilian told Motorsport.com. “I was driving behind it during wet testing at Fuji, and I thought, ‘oh my god, their car is amazing’. “There can be quite a few cars that haven’t had the luck yet, like the #88 [JLOC Lamborghini] and #52 [Saitama Toyopet Toyota Supra], I think they were on track to win the Fuji round but their strategy was ruined by the red flag.
De Oliveira and Fujinami will be saddled with 99kg of handicap weight at Fuji due to their early-season successes, and will be running at or close to the maximum threshold of 100kg until the penultimate round of the season at Autopolis, where the ballast is halved.But the 40-year-old is taking encouragement from the fact he and Fujinami were able to finish third at Suzuka despite carrying a still-considerable 66kg of extra weight.
