The SUPER GT INTERNATIONAL
SERIES IN MALAYSIA race, Round 4 of the 2009 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, was held at the
Sepang International Circuit (lap = 5.542 km x 54 laps) in Malaysia on June 21 and the
GT500 class winner was the HASEMI TOMICA EBBRO GT-R (N0.3) driven by Ronnie
Quintarelli and Hironobu Yasuda for their first victory of the season.
To avoid the midday heat of tropical Malaysia, the race was scheduled to
start at 16:00 (local time). The second-place qualifying HASEMI TOMICA EBBRO
GT-R started from the front of the grid due to machine trouble with the pole
position winning MOTUL AUTECH GT-R that caused it to start from the pit lane.
The HASEMI TOMICA EBBRO GT-R's starting driver, Quintarelli, kept that lead to
lap 30 before turning the wheel over to teammate Yasuda at the routine pit
stop. Once Yasuda took over, he was never threatened for the lead, due in part
to a furious battle for 2nd position raging behind him. Eventually, he ran on
to victory with a big lead over the field.
This marked the first victory for the Hasemi Motor Sports team in the GT500
class since Round 7 of last season. The team's Manager, Masahiro Hasemi, is
known as a famed driver of years past. For the Nissan GT-R this is already the
third win of the season. For driver Quintarelli, this is his second career win
in SUPER GT. And, for his teammate, Masuda, who won the GT300 class driver's
title last year, this is his first GT500 win.
In the GT300 class, the I.M JIHAN CO. LTD APPLE
Shiden driven by Hiroki Katoh and Hiroki Yoshimoto staged an furious charge
from the very back of the pack to win a stunning victory.

In the GT300 class, the No. 46 S Road MOLA Z
driven by Masataka Yanagida was the fastest qualifier with a lap time of 2 min.
10.356 sec.
The qualifying for the SUPER GT INTERNATIONAL
SERIES IN MALAYSIA, Round 4 of the 2009 AUTOBACS SUPER GT series, was held at
the Sepang Circuit (lap = 5.542 km)
in Malaysia on June 20. In the MOTUL AUTECH GT-R (No. 3), Satoshi Motoyama won
his third straight GT500 class pole position after Round 2 at Suzuka and Round
3 at Fuji Speedway. With this, the MOTUL AUTECH GT-R will start from the front
position on the first row in the race on the 21st.
Having won the last round, the MOTUL AUTECH GT-R driven by Motoyama was
carrying an additional 40 kg
in handicap weights but still managed to run the 5th fastest time in the first
qualifying session.
Then in the ensuing Super Lap (run one machine at a time by the fastest 8
qualifiers from the first session to determine the starting grid for the race),
Motoyama bettered his first session time by an impressive 1.8 sec. to record a
1 min. 58.142 sec. lap. Eventually, none of his rivals were able to equal this
time, giving him his third consecutive pole position.
This marked Motoyama's fourth pole position in GT500 competition.
