Team Impul's SuperGT title defence got off to a subdued start at Okayama, but BerBaguette says he was relieved to survive a 'wild' race:
Similar issues occurred in the race, causing Baguette to initially go backwards at the start in dry conditions, but he was able to make up ground before the weather took a turn for the worse.
"I struggled a lot with the warm-up at the beginning on the first two laps for some reason, but once the tyre was up to temperature I came back," Baguette told Motorsport.com."I had some nice fights in the dry and when it started to rain, but I was behind the two TOM’S cars [in eighth]. I had a good fight with the #3 [NDDP Nissan of Katsumasa Chiyo], but in the end the Michelins were just way stronger.Once we were on slicks, Kazuki struggled a lot with the warm-up like I did at the beginning. We lost one position [to the Cerumo Toyota] and that was where we finished."The target [pre-race] was to do P5. From P12 on the grid, P7 is ok, nothing special, but it’s still a few points for the championship.
"Nothing is lost, there’s still a long way to go. We finished P7 here last year as well. What's important is to be in the title fight at the end of the season. It could have been better, but it’s not bad."
