"Although Spoon President and driver Tatsuru Ichishima managed to qualify 9th for the finals, it came at a cost. On the last corner in front of the crowd and local TV cameras he lost control and crashed the NSX-R race car. Needless to say GTChannel on-board camera captured all of the action. Ichishima-san is ok and fired up to race the finals. Only if they can get the car back into shape..."-------------
Update:
Spoon Sports driver and president Tatsuru Ichishima finished 6th overall and 3rd in their respective Class B 2000cc to 3500cc engine category.
