Fuji SUPER GT: Kondo Nissan beats the Hondas to pole

The #24 Kondo Nissan Z of Sasaki and Kohei Hirate entered qualifying firmly among the favourites for pole, carrying only 6kg of success ballast and having taken the top spot last time out at Suzuka, only to be stripped of pole due to a fuel tank infraction.

Next up were another pair of Hondas, the #17 Real Racing car of Nobuharu Matsushita and the #100 Team Kunimitsu machine of Naoki Yamamoto. Nissan's other two contenders, the #23 NISMO car that has been repaired after Tsugio Matsuda's huge Suzuka crash, and the Team Impul machine of Bertrand Baguette, were both knocked out in 13th and 14th places.The points-leading #36 TOM'S Toyota, which is carrying a stage two fuel flow restrictor, was slowest of all in Q1 in the hands of Ritomo Miyata and will start 15th.
