posted on by Egan Loo
The Hatsune Miku Good Smile BMW car won its third GT300 race of the season at the rain-slick Twin Ring Motegi raceway on Sunday — and took the crown for the 2011 championship in the GT300 class. After taking the pole position, drivers Nobuteru Taniguchi and Taku Bamba turned in a time of 1:37'56.682 in this season's round 8 to win the race and the season. The team had won round 3 at the Super GT International Series Malaysia at the Sepang Circuit in June, and again at round 6 at the Fuji Speedway in September.
The EVANGELION RT TEST Type-01 Apple Shiden car was #8 at one minute and 11.552 seconds behind, followed by Pacific NAC Ika Musume Ferrari at #14 (1'58.249 behind) and Mach Go Go Go Syaken RD320R at #15 (1'58.715 behind). The Haruhi Racing Hankook Porsche team did not participate.
In the end, the GT300 championship came down to the last race. Hatsune Miku's GSR&Studie with Team Ukyo team earned another 23 points for its third win on Sunday, which finally pushed its 111-point total over #2's Jim Gainer (105 points).
