Sunday race was won by Yasuda for ThreeBond, seems like it was a confusing race with changing weather conditions.

Not sure what happened to Marcus Ericsson this week end.

he has crashed in Qualify session therefore that was no time for him in Qualify of Race 2

this weekend shows the bad promotion of JF3

for knowing okayama circuit you cannot blame JF3 for poor information. Okayama circuit is located in a very country side of Japan and internet connection is very poor.

Unfortunatly you can blame them for removing the english version of the j-formula3.com website

I understand but for this event there is no Formula Nippon Race with the Japan Formula 3. It is a "small" event

For bigger events like Super GT and WTCC they use to bring at the race track Mobil Antenna to improve internet and mobil connection around the race track.

Ericsson gambled on slicks for Race 2. But it started to rain again and staying out on the slicks meant another 6th in class.

In short:
Q1: Crashed out on quick lap. 10th on the grid
Q2: Car damaged. No laps. Last on the grid

R1: Spun out in the rain. Ended up 10th.
R2. Gambled on dry tyres. It started to rain. Stayed out. 10th.

To sum it up: A weekend to forget.
