Birth Project Racing’s Hirobon extended his Saturday Series and overall points lead with victory in what proved to be the only TCR Japan race of the weekend at a rain-affected Autopolis.
The Cupra driver, who claimed a Saturday Series win on the opening weekend of the season at Fuji mastered the conditions just well enough to edge the impressive Ai Miura by just over half a second as rain battered the circuit.
Takuya Shirasaka started the opening Saturday Series race from pole position amid a torrential downpour and initially led off the line from Hirobon.
