Yokohama Motorsport Department manager, Matsuoka Hirotsugu said, "It’s hot here all the time thus making it an ideal testing ground for the new hot weather tyre compounds we developed for racing.”
 
“Super GT is very demanding as the tyres not only have to suit the race track but also the cars and in Super GT we have a wide variety of cars that requires different tyre build,” he added.
