■East Japan Series in 2005 Round 1 at Fuji GT 500km Race


Race cars

□42 drivers in Fuji Speedway

There were 42 drivers who enter for this race including the drivers who are from west Japan. This is the largest race ever, but nobody knows the course so we expect that it is going to be a close game.

Notable driver from RS☆R is driver Kitagawa numbered 81 who got the win on the opening game of the West Japan series, driver Nakakuki and driver Kimura who is a series ranker of East Japan last year.

At the qualifying, driver Kitagawa placed 2nd position. Under 3rd position is going to be a tough game and only a driver Nakakuki who is at 6th place is within the range of the point. However, from 13th to 17th places are from RS☆R and we expected to be in a height ranking.

In spite of the fine whether, final was rough race that happed crush and minor collision many times. As soon as driver Kitagawa started, he had a scrape of other vehicle and span.

He degraded his ranking and missed his second time champion. Eventually, driver Kimura got the 4th place who gradually rise his rank from 14th place. Driver Nakakuki finally place at 5th and two drivers win the prize.

Driver Makita was in 8th place and Driver Kitagawa was in 9th place getting the point. On the other hand, Driver Mimura, Katagai and Tayama were unfortunately ended in retire because of the crush.

Race cars

Rain race in MOTEGI

Last race, driver Nakanuki crushed seriously but we repaired fully. Four drivers from RS☆R participate in ROUND 3.

In the qualifying, Makita got the 3rd grid that is his best and Nakakuki placed at 6th.

Kimura took times because of course out and placed 9th. Nishida started at 18th place. Open practice was fine therefore the results of the qualifying were regrettable.

n finals, we were in the second group and chased the driver of 1st and 2nd place. Makita and Nakakuki delayed their start and were in the second group. Though there were some replacements of the ranking during the race, eventually the ranking is remained. Makita was 5th place and Nakakuki was 6th place.

Kimura kept up with the second group to recover the fail of qualifying and finished 7th place. As his time was equivalent to the top driver, it was regretted. Nishida also gradually advanced his place and finished at 12th place, which could have got the point a little more.

Next race will be held in MOTEGI two month later. We expect that is will be a hard race in the harsh condition of summer, however please look forward to seeing driver’s excited driving.

At the finals day, the road condition was dry. RS☆R drivers tried to catch up with the other driver to be in a higher rank, however it was tough race for them except for Nakakuki who was ended in 5th place.

Kumura couldn’t catch up with other drivers like every final he did and ended in 9th place getting the point. Nishida advanced his ranking with his drastic follow, however he couldn’t get the points. Makita finished in 9th place, however he got penalty of reduction of one round during the yellow flag section and ended in 30th. Yokoo finished in 31st place at his 8 rounds.

Win two times at opening race

West Japan Series Round 2 was held at MINE circuit in Yamaguchi. Five drivers who use RS☆R I☆SHOCK have entries.

Another driver is that Omura was 3rd, Matsumura was 6th, Hirai was 7th and Kanda was 11th, where all drivers were in a good position.

In the Finals, Kitagawa lead another driver and controlled the beginning of the race. However, four of the drivers in top group so closely that we could hardly breath. Eventually, Kitagawa’s experience made him winner. Omura delayed at his start and down the order, so he couldn’t victory stand in spite of his fierce follow. Matsumura got the prize with his 5th place. Kanda was 9th place and got the points.

As for Hirai, white smoke came out from his vehicle because of the oil leaking which may be caused by mission blow yesterday. He checked his vehicle at 5th rank, however got penalty and disqualified. Unfortunately, he retired the race due to machine trouble, yet he showed a sharp drive and we can expect him in the next race.

Comment of Kitagawa

As for West series, I won for two years in a row, but I didn’t win at the Fuji so I think this is just the two times win. I appreciate mechanics for reparing the vehicle from Fuji race to MINE race. I wanted to win for them. I hope to be a champion.「

Suzuki who is the Champion of East Japan Series last year took part in West Japan Series Round 3 and people are looking forward to seeing the battle of Szuki and Kitagwa who is 1st ranking of the points in West Series.

As weather forecast had said it would be rainy on practice day, some teams were waiting for the drive before it begins to rain. It was a hard practice because wet road made them crush and getting out of the course.

In qualifying day, road condition was improving from wet to dry. At this point, unexpectedly Kitagawa crushed in his first round and ended in 9th place in spite of eager repairing. Other drivers from RS☆R put up a good fight, Hrai was 5th, Omura was 7th, Matsumura was 8th, Kitagawa was 9th and Shimizu who is his first race was 13th.

At the Finals, though from 1st driver to 4th driver finished very closely, Kitagawa tried to follow fiercely and managed to catch up with 4th place. There are also some minor collisions for getting the 5th place. Unfortunately, Hirai got a check at his 6th place, but three drivers can got their check at the range of getting points and also others were in a high position of the ranking.

There are two Rounds left for the West Japan Series. Please look forward to the driver of R☆SR especially Kitagawa and Omura who have a chance to participate in the Champion Cup.

Friendly Fire

March Cup West Japan Series Round 4 was held on August 28th. Four drivers from RS☆R, who is Kitagawa(81), Matsumura(10), Omura(40) and Hirai(99) took part in the race (the bracket is drivers number).

In the qualifying, Kitagawa got the 1st place, achieving the course record. However, at the middle of the race, he reversed to be a 2nd place. Hirai, who also achieving his course record, was 4th, Matsumura was 6th and Omura was 11th.

In the Finals, top driver and Kitagawa was first group of the race and 2nd group was little backward. From the middle of the order, Omura caught up with second group to be in a 3rd place and it seemed that the race would be a close game.

In such a close game, Hirai and Omura got minor collision. Hirai got damage to the wheel and went back to the pit but ended in retired and Omura degraded his order largely.

At this point, top driver left other driver behind and Kitagawa was 2nd. Matsumura was 6th place but was caught up with by Omura at the last two round and changed his order. Matsumura managed to keep his order 7th and got the points.

It was regrettable that there is a friendly fire, however Kitagawa ensures his point leader of West Japan Series. The rest is last race Champion Cup that is going to be held in Suzuka circuit. Please look forward to our drivers run.
