Super Taikyu Series Rd.3 Suzuka circuit
 
TEIN Users Dominate Podium in ST3 Class
 
The 3rd round of the 2010 Super Taikyu Series was held at the famous Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture. Just like the previous round, TEIN users dominated the qualifying sessions to take the top 3 positions. #39 NSX took pole position closely followed by #27 BMW M3 and #51 Fairlady Z.
 
The #27 BMW M3 had an excellent start getting off the line and was able to take the lead on the opening lap. The #39 NSX and #51 Fairlady followed closely battling it out for second position. As the battle started to heat up, the #51 Fairlady Z slipped past the #39 NSX early on and as the cars headed in for their first pit stop, the top running #27 BMW M3 lost the top position to #51 Fairlady Z. As the race progressed, the safety car was forced to come out and at the restart the #27 BMW M3 took full advantage to retake the lead. There was nothing in its way now as the rest of the race finished trouble free. TEIN users finished on the podium for the second consecutive race as #27 BMW M3 took the win followed by #51 Fairlady Z and #39 NSX in 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.
