| Driver Kota Sasaki returned to the paddock shortly after 5am, and soon the WRX STI on the tow truck returned. In the vehicle, both front wheels were particularly severely damaged, and the suspension arm of the right rear wheel was also bent. The cause is that the suspension of the left front wheel is damaged for some reason from in-vehicle data etc., which scrapes the inside of the wheel rim and causes a burst. Since that point is the place to enter at full throttle in 6th speed, it is thought that it hit the guardrail on the right side of the course and stopped across the course with too much momentum. It was fortunate that Sasaki was unharmed because the speed was over 250km / h at the time of the accident. Also, the previous report caused by the tire burst was incorrect. When the right side of the body hit the guardrail, the frame part was damaged and it was judged that repair during the race was impossible. The team unfortunately decides to retire before 6am. |
