The
12 Hours of Sebring wasn't the only season opener to take place this past weekend, as teams across Japan descended on Suzuka for the first race of the 2010
SuperGT season. And spectators didn't just enjoy the inaugural outing of the new
Honda HSV-010 GT500 racers, they saw two of the five Hondas crash in spectacular fashion.
A slight drizzle at the start of the race resulted in the pole-sitting No. 18 Weider Honda, piloted by Takashi Kogure, to run off track and fall towards the back of the pack. Kogure later set the fastest time (1:55.555) during his fifth lap, working his way up to eighth place in the process. But one lap later, Kogure, the No. 32 Epson HSV-010 and No. 8 ARTA HSV-010 made an impromptu sandwich going into the first corner, sending the No. 18 and No. 8 Honda's into the wall.
You can check out the race results, along with the crash and the aftermath in the video
after the jump, and get an eyeful from Suzuka in the gallery below.
