The #97 Honda Civic Type R run by Modulo Racing with DOME scored a second consecutive victory in the Super Taikyu TCR Class. After winning the season opener 5-hour race at Suzuka, Tadao Uematsu, Shinji Nakano and Hiroki Otsu repeated themselves in the 3 Hours of Sugo.
The sister #98 Civic driven by Taiyo Iida, Hiroki Kato and Kazuho Takahashi set pole position in qualifying; the two Honda cars had a close fight with a bunch of Audis throughout the whole race.
Eventually the #97 Civic took the chequered flag with a 15-second margin ahead of the BRP Audi RS3 LMS shared by ‘Hirobon’, Takeshi Matsumoto, Kei Akiyoshi, and Koichi Okumura, while the L&JR Mars Audi of Daisuke Imamura, Masanobu Kato and Hiroki Kokuzawa completed the podium one lap behind.
The third round of the series will be the 24 Hours of Fuji 1/3 June.
