D1 GRAND PRIX (D1GP) D1 Grand Prix South Asia Series
Rd.1 in APDCREW CIRCUIT (Malaysia)
Team FRT x BOOSTAR
Akiba Ruse wins the tandem run and takes first place in the solo qualifying round.
I participated in the Malaysian round of the Asia Series, which was my first time competing in it in three years.
The FRT team entered a newly built S15 Silvia (600 horsepower specification) equipped with a 2JZ engine.
Because it was a brand new car, we encountered mechanical problems such as a turbocharger failure, but thanks to the support of the local crew, circuit staff, and many other people, we were able to complete the race to the very end.
The results were 1st place in the solo qualifying round and 1st place in the tandem competition. I am filled with gratitude for being able to celebrate my return in the best possible way.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported and encouraged us.
I will do my best to return to this stage next year, having grown even more.
