Team Suzuki Press Office – December 12.

The #suzukienduranceracingteam will start the 8 Hours of Sepang from 11th on the grid after some difficult qualifying sessions, but well-managed by the technical staff and riders.

Today’s qualifying sessions took place in a scorching heat that caused a few problems with the riders and machines, and due to these difficult weather conditions, the best lap times were set in the morning, during the first qualifying session.

The SERT mission was to improve their settings in order to get ready to face the race in the best possible conditions and Vincent Phillipe, Etienne Masson and Gregg Black worked hard during the whole day in this regard and it paid off, as the GSX-R1000 regained its legendary efficiency and consistency.

Thanks to the progress made, the riders were more confident and able to fight with the other top teams as Masson set a best lap time in 2:07.458, placing him 7th in his session. Then, Black confirmed the good feelings on the #2 Suzuki GSX-R1000 with a best lap time of 2:07.539, while Philippe set a 2:07.997.
