The p.m. session got underway at 14:00, with an outside temperature of 17℃ and track temp of 24℃. It was Tristan Charpentier’s turn to take over the wheel for his first run at Fuji Speedway. Almost all of the other drivers had on used medium spec tires at the start of the session. Each team had their own menus to run through, including wheel base set-ups and tire air pressure tests. Some of the drivers also put in long runs to simulate how they would run in a race. As the session wound down, many of the drivers switched over to new tires. Lucas Auer (B-Max with motopark), who drove for the first time at Fuji during these tests, recorded a time of 1’22.391, which put him at the top of the standings for a bit. Sho Tsuboi, who came across the finish line about the time checkered came out was able to record a time of 1’22.204. He was followed by teammate #38 Hiroaki Ishiura (JMS P.MU/CERUMO・INGING), who put down a time of 1’22.393, on just one try at a flying lap–putting him in P3 for the session, behind P2 Auer.
Riiight.
