Then the Race 2 final race started at 4:50 in the afternoon.

The cars from 3rd position downward were left far behind as the two leaders fought a match race.

Although Fukuzumi in car No. 14 was able to build a lead of more than 2 sec., in the final stages of the race Yamashita in car No. 1 was able to cut the margin of lead down to less than 1 sec., but it was at this point that the 50-minute time limit elapsed. The checkered flag was waved to end the race on the 34th lap.

With this, car No. 14 reached the finish line first by a margin of 0.728 sec. For the No. 14 ENEOS X PRIME GR Supra took its first win of the season.

In the GT300 class, Tomonobu Fujii had won pole position in the No. 777 D'station Vantage GT3. In the final race, although No. 777 took the lead, it was followed at a distance of about 1 sec. by the 2nd-position grid starting No. 2 HYPER WATER INGING GR86 GT (Yuui Tsutsumi) in a tense race. However, in the end it was not able to close that gap and car No. 7７7 ran on unchallenged to a win from pole position. This gave the team a second straight win after the one in Race 1. Finishing in 3rd place was the No. 65 LEON PYRAMID AMG (Togo Suganami) that had started from 8th position on the grid, and this enabled the No. 65 drivers Naoya Gamou and Togo Suganami to maintain their lead in the Drivers standing.

Winner Comments

No. 14 ENEOS X PRIME GR Supra [GT500]

Nirei Fukuzumi: "From the start to the finish, we were able to win by holding off that fast car No. 1 (champions). This has given great confidence to the team and to me. Again today, we had to keep our eyes on No. 1 the whole time, and I kept on pushing without letting up for a moment. Yesterday was a regretful and sad race for car No. 14, and that experience surely led to today's great result. I am grateful to everyone. This is my first win since coming to the Toyota team, and next I want to see us win in one of the usual long races. I truly want to say thank you to everyone!"

No. 777 D'station Vantage GT3 [GT300]

Tomonobu Fujii: "In the JAF Grand Prix (*) earlier as well, I had a good performance record. Since this is the same type of race, I was happy to run alone in a GT sprint race again. But today there was some real pressure (because the team had won Race 1 yesterday) so I really wanted to get pole position and worked hard to win the race. Especially, the team worked hard from yesterday to fix the car and it performed so well as a result, and the Dunlop tires also kept their strong grip throughout the race, so I owe this win to everyone."

*From 2010 to 2013 sprint races held in a two-race format at Fuji not part of the SUPER GT series.
