TIME	Race Report
12:30	[Pit] The eastern sky has become brighter a bit. (04:33) The gap between the 34th of overall standings (SP8Class 3rd) #14 GAZOO Racing/Lexus LF-A and #7 is about one round (about 10 minutes). At the Last Lap, #14 is about 10 seconds faster! Driver Iida is closing the gap between #14 and #7! (04:35)
12:00	Car 12 of the top in SP8 Class is now the 24th overall standings. (71R Time 12:06:14.717) (04:20) [Pit] Car 15 has made a pit stop. The driver has been changed to Krumbach from Hahne. (04:00) [Pit] Car 15 driven by Krumbach is stand-by. (03:55) Car 7 Aston Martin goes ahead. Car 14 has finished fueling, made a pit stop and still Iida is driver and left the pit. (03:53) Then, talking about the traffic limitation behind the paddock we reported before, they say that some repairing work was performed due to torn curbstones! It seems that the work has finished just now after an hour has passed! (03:52) [Pit] Although it’s a different round, Car 7 and 14 have made a pit in side by side. (03:50) [Pit] Car 7 Aston Martin has made a pit stop! Car 14 is about to make a pit stop. (03:47) Traffic is still limited behind the paddock after we reported! Although we have not obtained details yet, there are five safety cars in a line, so machines can go through only one at a time!! So, places are becoming close to each other considerably! There will be more heated battle at and after the middle stage of the race. (03:43) [Driver Info] GAZOO Racing team drivers at the moment are as follow: #14/Lexus LF-A Iida #15/Lexus LF-A Hahne #16/Lexus IS F Takagi (03:41)
11:30	[Best 3 of overall standings at lap 74] 1st #99 Audi R8 LMS 74R, 11:31:08.243 2nd #2 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup S 74R,11:34:04.928 3rd #97 Abt Audi R8 LMS 74R,11:34:58.651 Car 99 has gone to the front again. Car 97 has risen to the 3rd place. (03:40) #12 Chevrolet Corovette C6 has dropped the overall position to the 30th at the moment. (65R Time 11:08:45.676) (03:23) [Standings/laps] As of 03:15, ranking and laps of major machines are as follows: 1st/72 laps　#1/Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 2nd/72 laps　#99/Audi R8 LMS 3rd/71 laps　#1/Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 20th/66 laps　#28 Nissan Z33 30th/65 laps　#12 Chevrolet Corvette C6 (SP8) 32nd/64 laps　#7 Aston Martin (SP8) 35th/63 laps　#14 Lexus LF-A (SP8) 38th/62 laps　#11 AudiRS4 (SP8) 104th/53 laps　#16 Lexus IS F (SP8) 147th/38 laps　#15 Lexus LF-A (SP8) Car 12's speed is decreasing while cars 14 and 11 are catching up, so the competition in the SP8 class including car 7 is really close. (03:21) [Pit] Car 16 pit stop. A comment from Driver Katsumata: "It's dangerous driving during the night. I cannot relax even just a second. I can see the In as there's a light but not Out." (03:17) [Pit] Car 16 has made a pit stop. Driver has switched from Katsumata to Takagi. (03:15) Right behind the paddock tent of the GAZOO Racing team, the worning car is in and it looks like there's a trafic jam. As you through it, going with a roar of car inside the circuit. But as there's still a limitation, the position might become more closer. (03:11)

(03:08) Car 11 Audi RS4 is chasing Car 14 Lexus LF-A. This Audi car is also raising the position, which is concerned. * The photo was taken in day time. (03:00) [Pit] For brake replacement, a signboard of "NO BRAKE" was displayed to driver Hahne. Work was completed, and the machine has returned to the track with Hahne still sitting behind the wheel. (02:56) [Pit] Driver Naruse is checking the work by himself.(02:53) [Pit] The temperature of the tire removed when the brake was replaced is about 65C. (02:52) [Pit] Car15, pit-in.

It was the first half of the 9-minute line! (02:46) This is a photo of the early stage showing car 7 Aston Martin which Car 14 Lexus LF-A driven by Iida is aggressively chasing. The competitor is pretty good looking. Never mind that, Driver Iida is really promising. (02:38) [Pit] Car 9 Aston Martin, course-in. Car 14, Driver Iida is following.(02:38) [Pit] Car 14 has made a pit stop. It is the same timing as car 9 Aston Martin. (02:38) [Pit] New tires are prepared for Car 14's pit-in. (02:32)
