Autobacs Super GT 2021 Series Round 2

Despite the ongoing state of emergency in some parts of Japan in the midst of the Golden Week, the second round of the Autobacs Super GT 2021 Series, held at Fuji Speedway, is still on and there's still more work that needs to be done for the drivers to deliver the best Golden Week experience for the whole fans to see.

The #19 WedSport ADVAN GR Supra served as the pole sitter of this race, leading the grid to the start of this 110 lap race. As the race progresses, there are three vehicles that are out of the race such as the #23 for engine problems at lap 2 and #38 that had issues with the rear wheel hub on Lap 31 while on the GT300 class, the #22 crashed at Lap 71.
