Weider Honda ATS DDBoys dropped from the overall lead, at one point, to ninth due to a problem with rear-wheel quick-change hardware. The team feels the problem, which slowed them on two pit stops during the race, is completely fixed, according to translator Nobuatsu Aoki.

Proton Team KR MotoGP rider Aoki is at the race supporting his older brother Haruchika, who is racing with Weider Honda ATS DDBoys.

Heat Magic by Wins Factory had worked up to 14th overall after three hours, but one crash dropped the JSB team back to 49th overall.

F.C.C. TSR Zip-FM Racing Team, the pole sitters, had problems early-on and finished the first hour in 38th. By the end of the fourth hour they had worked back up to seventh overall and the lead in the X-Formula One class.
