Goodsmile Racing Team at Fuji Speedway

Goodsmile Racing’s result at Round 2 in Fuji on May 4th was definitely better than the result from last month’s race. The team started the 110 lap race from 4th position and ended in 5th for a 9 point gain, placing them at 15 points and position 7 overall in the SUPER GT 300 class.

GSR’s Mercedes AMG GT3 and the rest of the GT 300 class were simply out-maneuvered and outpaced by ARTA’s BMW M6 GT3, which showed clear dominance on the Fuji track, finishing the race with a 49.116 second lead over GSR, and a comfortable 25.929 second lead over the 2nd place winner, apr GT’s Toyota Prius.

Let’s cheer for even better results at the next race! Fight, GSR!

Goodsmile Racing Places 2nd at Fuji Speedway, Now Leading SUPER GT With 9 Point Lead

Goodsmile Racing managed to secure a 2nd place victory with their Mercedes AMG GT3 yesterday during SUPER GT’s Round 5 race at Fuji Speedway, earning them enough points to place them in 1st in SUPER GT by a margin of 9 points!


The weather was cloudy with scheduled rain, although it never started raining during the race. Miku and GSR fans were of course present with the obligatory altar of plushies and figures. GSR started the Round 5 race from 3rd position, and faced tough competition from the #33 M6 and #61 BRZ.

GSR managed to pass the SUBARU BRZ in lap 38, thanks to its superior speed on the track’s straight runs. However, the BMW M6 was just that much faster, and always maintained a >5 second lead for the remainder of the race. However, despite the 2nd place win in the race, GSR is now leading the SUPER GT series. Congratulations!

3 more races to go, and here’s to hoping for GSR to win a 3rd championship. Fight, GSR! The next race will be in Suzuka on August 27th.
