EWC 8 Hours of Suzuka 2023: Alert, Suzuki on the carpet!

While the Yoshimura SERVES Motul could only hope for a failure of Honda #33 Team HRC with Japan Post at Suzuka, it was the #12 Suzuki that made the mistake first. Gregg Black, then on the handlebars, struggles to keep his GSXR-1000R on the track due to the rain falling on the Suzuka track! He fell on a white stripe, and offered, perhaps definitively, victory to the #33 Honda.

 

 

Suzuki on the carpet at Suzuka, serious consequences

Although the bike is back on the track, the Suzuki #12 loses big, especially in the championship. THE YART-Yamaha was also out of points, and the FCC TSR Honda France not at best either. Second place is currently occupied by Honda #104 TOHO Racing, followed by the Honda #73 SDG Honda Racing. Clearly, not a single favorite at the front!

 

 

Here is the ranking at 11:50 a.m. French time:
