JAF Grand Prix, Super GT – Fuji Sprint Cup 2012 Nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji, the Fuji Speedway this weekend hosted the spectacular finale to the Super GT500 2012 season, the JAF Grand Prix Fuji Sprint Cup. The race format comprises two 22-lap races held over the weekend, the first run on Saturday, the second today (Sunday). Fifteen of the world’s fastest GT cars took to the grid on Friday morning for a single one-hour practice session - it being the only opportunity available to Marino prior to taking on the daunting task of having to qualify the Bandoh Racing team’s WedsSport Advan SC430 500bhp Toyota Lexus around the 16-turn 4.563km Fuji Speedway circuit.

Fujii grabs his first victory in GT300 Race 1 of the JAF Grand Prix SUPER GT & Formula NIPPON “FUJI SPRINT CUP 2012”, an event bringing together Japan’s premier production car race, the SUPER GT, and Japan’s premier formula car race, Formula Japan, took place on November 17 at Fuji Speedway (one lap 4.563 km) in Shizuoka Pref. Race 2 will be run on the 18th. Unlike the regular season SUPER GT series races competed by a relay of two drivers for each machine, this event is competed in two races on the 17th and 18th driven by one driver each. The final team standings for the event are determined by the point totals of each team’s two drivers in these two races, and the JAF Grand Prix title goes to the overall winners in each class. I hope we will win again tomorrow and get the overall title. Ronnie Quintarelli Race 1 of the GT500 class (22 laps /100.386 km) started at 15:15.

But despite a rollercoaster of a rookie F1 campaign in 2021, from the highs of a headline-grabbing first race in Bahrain to the lows of a run of crashes that risked his future, the Japanese star never shied away from owning up to the errors of his ways. Instead, Tsunoda admitted that a combination of over-confidence and a lack of application helped trigger a sequence of incidents that left his confidence on the floor. But, as he reflects on the way he turned things around and eyes even better form in 2022, the AlphaTauri ace is clear that some big lessons have been learned, and the change of approach was essential. One of his biggest mistakes, he reckons, was lacking the focus in preparing himself as well as he could for each race. It proved to be one of the triggers for an enforced mid-season move to be near his team's Faenza-factory. "Until I moved to Italy, I was just a lazy bastard," he laughs. "After training, straight into my house, turn on the PS5 and do gaming for … [Read more...] about How “lazy bastard” Tsunoda banished his F1 rookie wobbles
