Is there a Japanese version of Claude François' song “Comme d'habita”?
Still, if this is the case, Katsuyuki Nakasuga must undoubtedly hum it while thinking of the sixth consecutive wild card that he will make on the Yamaha M1 at the next Japanese Grand Prix, in a week.
The Japanese driver generally uses a prototype from the following year there, but it is not there that he achieved his best Grand Prix result. This, a second place, was obtained in the rain, in Valencia in 2012, when the spearhead of the Iwata firm in Japan replaced Ben Spies.
Aged 36, Katsuyuki Nakasuga is also the three-time reigning winner of the Suzuka 8 Hours, associated over the years with Pol Espargaro, Bradley Smith, Alex Lowes and Michael van der Mark.
