★4.jpg

夜の帳が下り、日中と比べると肌寒くなってきた鈴鹿サーキットで、AグループとBグループ合同のナイトセッションが行なわれた。走行時刻は、鈴鹿8耐決勝のラスト1時間と同じ18時30分から19時30分までの60分間。本セッションは、各チーム1台ずつの出走に限られている。

まずトップに立ったのは、EWCレギュラーチームで夜間走行の経験が豊富な#5 F.C.C.TSR Honda France(Honda,BS)。開始から15分経ったあたりで、同じくEWCレギュラーチームの#12 Yoshimura SERT Motul(Suzuki,BS)が2分06秒346で逆転する。セッション中盤には、#21 YAMAHA FACTORY RACING TEAM(Yamaha,BS)が2分06秒台に入れて2番手に浮上。19時を過ぎると、鈴鹿サーキットは完全に暗闇に包まれた。#30 Honda HRC(Honda,BS)は2分08秒から2分09秒台で走行していたが、残り2分のときに2分07秒台で5番手、翌周には2分07秒台前半まで詰めて4番手に浮上した。次いで、#0 Team SUZUKI CN CHALLENGE(Suzuki,BS)、#40 TeamＡＴＪ with NTT docomo Business(Honda,BS)、#17 Astemo Pro Honda SI Racing(Honda,BS)が2分07秒台に入れ、上位7台をブリヂストン勢が占めた。

As night fell and the temperature dropped compared to the daytime, a joint night session for Group A and Group B was held at Suzuka Circuit. The session ran for 60 minutes from 18:30 to 19:30, the same time slot as the final hour of the Suzuka 8 Hours race. In this session, each team was limited to entering only one machine.

The first to take the lead was the EWC regular team #5 F.C.C. TSR Honda France (Honda, BS), which has extensive experience in night running. About 15 minutes into the session, another EWC regular, #12 Yoshimura SERT Motul (Suzuki, BS), took over the top spot with a time of 2:06.346. In the middle of the session, #21 YAMAHA FACTORY RACING TEAM (Yamaha, BS) broke into the 2:06 range to move up to second place. After 19:00, Suzuka Circuit was completely enveloped in darkness. #30 Honda HRC (Honda, BS) had been lapping in the 2:08 to 2:09 range, but with two minutes remaining, clocked a 2:07 lap to move into fifth, and on the following lap improved further into the low 2:07s, rising to fourth. Following that, #0 Team SUZUKI CN CHALLENGE (Suzuki, BS), #40 Team ATJ with NTT docomo Business (Honda, BS), and #17 Astemo Pro Honda SI Racing (Honda, BS) also broke into the 2:07 range, resulting in Bridgestone-equipped teams occupying the top seven positions.
