- 00:53:26: <SF_Live> Hello, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the second round of the 2019 Yaname Electronics Super Formula Championship!
- 00:55:00: <SF_Live> Today's round will be held in the city of Mimasaka, at the Okayama Prefecture, where the Okayama International Circuit is located
- 00:57:39: <SF_Live> It was a rather sunny day in Qualifying yesterday, that saw Kazuki Nakajima's TOM'S take pole position from Naoki Yamamoto's Mugen
- 00:58:46: <SF_Live> Miyata would take 3rd in a bitterly fought battle between him, Ishiura and Fukuzumi
- 01:00:20: <SF_Live> We go farther down the order to find the LeMans of Alex Palou in 6th place, however only 0.002 ahead of the 7th placed Carter Simpson
- 01:02:03: <SF_Live> Mann's Impul is in 8th place, Bertrand Baguette 9th
- 01:02:52: <SF_Live> Hiroki Otsu put on a superb perfomance in Q2 to make it to Q3, however he cannot do much beyond that and is 10th
- 01:04:37: <SF_Live> Anton De Pasquale and Jann Mardenborough both set identical times in Q2, only 0.001 away from the Q3 qualifier Otsu, however Pasquale's other times will make him 11th and Mardenborough will start 12th
- 01:09:01: <SF_Live> Takuya Izawa and Nobuharu Matsushita are in 13th and 14th place
- 01:10:05: <SF_Live> the Kamaha Motorsports of Antonio Felix da Costa finds itself not too far behind in 15th, as does Oliver Rowland in 16th
- 01:12:03: <SF_Live> Mitsunori Takaboshi and James Rossiter put in 17th-18th for Kondo Racing, having barely made it to Q2 and having setup issues in the tricky Okayama circuit
- 01:13:20: <SF_Live> Daisuke Nakajima is 19th for the epynomous team
- 01:14:42: <SF_Live> Tristan Jung is in 20th for Kamaha Motorsports, another bad perfomance
- 01:15:24: <SF_Live> there's less than a 0.050 difference between Jung and the Real Racing cars of Sakaguchi and Oyu
- 01:16:23: <SF_Live> Kohei Hirate is in 23rd in another struggling perfomance for Le Beausset
- 01:17:10: <SF_Live> Takashi Kogure is the first in the grid to be more than 2 seconds off the pace, in 24th with the B-MAX team
- 01:17:28: <SF_Live> Matt Solomon is 25th in the other Le Beausset
- 01:18:21: <SF_Live> and the tricky Okayama really showed for Ye Hongli, where he was last and 2.746 seconds off pole
- 01:22:22: <SF_Live> The warm-up finishes as the cars line up...
- 01:22:43: <SF_Live> Lights are on...
- 01:22:50: <SF_Live> And away we go!
- 01:23:45: <SF_Live> The top 4 keep their position
- 01:23:55: <SF_Live> Palou down the inside and into 5th!
- 01:24:58: <SF_Live> Mann's pretty much swapped places with Mardenborough, he jumped to 8th while she dropped to 12th
- 01:25:09: <SF_Live> what a terrible start from Mann yet again
- 01:25:45: <SF_Live> Rowland's however has a had lightning start, he is up to 12th!
- 01:26:13: <SF_Live> YAMAMOTO!
- 01:26:23: <SF_Live> He is approaching Nakajima in the backstraight!
- 01:26:38: <SF_Live> He tries in the hairpin...
- 01:26:40: <SF_Live> IT SUCEEDS!
- 01:26:45: <SF_Live> YAMAMOTO TAKES THE LEAD!
- 01:27:52: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi!
- 01:27:57: <SF_Live> He takes back 5th!
- 01:28:37: <SF_Live> Mardenborough, another one to take advantage of the backstraight, with a beautiful pass for 7th!
- 01:29:42: <SF_Live> Simpson!
- 01:29:58: <SF_Live> He delivers the favour back at Mardenborough and takes back 7th!
- 01:30:52: <SF_Live> Nakajima already lapping faster than Yamamoto, how will this play out?
- 01:31:09: <SF_Live> BAGUETTE!
- 01:31:13: <SF_Live> HE'S GONE OFF!
- 01:31:49: <SF_Live> It seems he was trying /too/ hard to overtake
- 01:32:57: <SF_Live> Rowland showing some real skill today, he is up to 11th
- 01:33:11: <SF_Live> and is on the hunt for Otsu
- 01:33:33: <SF_Live> he is in fact lapping faster atm
- 01:33:54: <SF_Live> FUKUZUMI!
- 01:34:20: <SF_Live> He tries to overtake Ishiura for 4th in the backstraight!
- 01:34:24: <SF_Live> down the hairpin...
- 01:34:36: <SF_Live> He has the inside...
- 01:34:48: <SF_Live> ... Nope, it does not work!
- 01:35:05: <SF_Live> He has a lost a lot of time right there!
- 01:35:58: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi!
- 01:36:05: <SF_Live> He tries again the following lap!
- 01:36:27: <SF_Live> Down the hairpin...
- 01:36:33: <SF_Live> ... It is an easy job!
- 01:36:37: <SF_Live> He takes 4th!
- 01:37:25: <SF_Live> ohai wazzle
- 01:37:43: <SF_Live> 11th, after starting 15th
- 01:37:54: <SF_Live> currently on the hunt for 10th
- 01:38:09: <SF_Live> yep
- 01:38:17: <SF_Live> NAKAJIMA!!!
- 01:38:29: <SF_Live> He tries to take the lead from Yamamoto!
- 01:38:42: <SF_Live> Down the hairpin...
- 01:38:50: <SF_Live> HE TAKES THE LEAD BACK!
- 01:39:27: <SF_Live> o boi
- 01:39:56: <SF_Live> if you're wondering why so much CAPS, that's cause I wanna emulate Japanese commentary
- 01:41:53: <SF_Live> Rowland!
- 01:42:03: <SF_Live> Has a look at Otsu at the hairpin for 10th!
- 01:42:11: <SF_Live> He thinks better of it however
- 01:42:24: <SF_Live> No way he was gonna make the gap there
- 01:42:40: <RealRacingRoots> "XIAOMI FILES IN HONG KONG FOR WORLD'S BIGGEST IPO SINCE 2014"
- 01:43:47: <SF_Live> Mann!
- 01:43:53: <SF_Live> She overtakes Mardenborough for 8th!
- 01:44:07: <SF_Live> Finally recovering from that terrible start
- 01:44:26: <SF_Live> ROWLAND!
- 01:44:33: <SF_Live> He has a look!
- 01:44:40: <SF_Live> Down the inside of the hairpin!
- 01:44:56: <SF_Live> ... He makes it stick!
- 01:45:01: <SF_Live> Into 10th!
- 01:46:22: <SF_Live> Ye Hongli oversteps in the kerb at the final corner, he just barely made it there
- 01:48:47: <SF_Live> AfDC gets a move on for 17th
- 01:48:57: <SF_Live> AFdC*
- 01:50:06: <SF_Live> Izawa down the inside of the hairpin for 13th...
- 01:50:11: <SF_Live> ooof
- 01:50:13: <SF_Live> that was close
- 01:50:47: <SF_Live> Matsushita closes the gap and Izawa brakes just in time
- 01:51:31: <SF_Live> Baguette's overtaken Hongli for 25th
- 01:51:56: <SF_Live> some consolidation for him I guess
- 01:54:06: <SF_Live> Izawa's been hard on the brakes at the final corner, that's costed him 0.3 seconds
- 01:54:35: <SF_Live> MANN!!!!
- 01:55:24: <SF_Live> SHE LOSES CONTROL OF THE CAR AT T10 AND SPINS!!!
- 01:55:52: <SF_Live> She's still on the road!
- 01:56:32: <SF_Live> She waits for everyone to pass, and then does a 360 spin to recover
- 01:56:57: <SF_Live> That doesn't seem to matter much however, she's now 26th!
- 01:57:56: <SF_Live> Before the ad breaks come in, the top 8 look like this:
- 01:58:43: <SF_Live> KAZ-NAO-MIY-FUK-ISH-PAL-SIM-MAN
- 02:17:33: <SF_Live> Welcome back from the ad break to the Okayama International Circuit, where the 2nd round of the Super Formula Championship is being held
- 02:27:24: <SF_Live> Rowland!
- 02:27:33: <SF_Live> overstepping a bit the kerb down T10
- 02:28:04: <SF_Live> Luckily, he controls it down T11, but Otsu will definitely attempt to close the gap after that mistake
- 02:29:41: <SF_Live> Otsu, knowing the risk and without much of an advantage however, cannot do much in the hairpin
- 02:30:58: <SF_Live> He looks down the outside the straight the following lap...
- 02:31:08: <SF_Live> ... he gets squeezed out, as expected
- 02:33:36: <SF_Live> Kazuki Nakajima already lapping cars in L23
- 02:33:45: <SF_Live> Ye Hongli's B-MAX is now 1 lap down
- 02:34:38: <SF_Live> as we see the first pit!
- 02:34:57: <SF_Live> It's Fukuzumi!
- 02:36:08: <SF_Live> His pit takes 13.6 seconds
- 02:36:37: <SF_Live> He comes out 8th
- 02:38:02: <SF_Live> He however quickly slays Mardenborough's Impul for 7th
- 02:38:51: <SF_Live> Another early pitter is Oliver Rowland, he came out in 21st
- 02:40:39: <SF_Live> Palou comes in!
- 02:40:53: <SF_Live> It's a 14.4 pit for the Spaniard
- 02:41:17: <OllieFTW> lol bmax
- 02:41:31: <SF_Live> He comes out in 9th place, and above Simpson, who he had battled in the pits
- 02:41:50: <SF_Live> more importantly however
- 02:41:57: <SF_Live> Yamamoto pits!
- 02:42:55: <SF_Live> the Mugen crew screwed on his winning chances at Suzuka, will the same happen today??
- 02:43:21: <SF_Live> Nope, at least it seems so!
- 02:43:35: <SF_Live> a 12.2, quite a fine pitstop for the Mugen crew
- 02:44:33: <SF_Live> Nakajima pits!
- 02:45:16: <SF_Live> A bit of a bad pitstop, a 14.3!
- 02:45:48: <SF_Live> But he comes out above Yamamoto!
- 02:46:37: <SF_Live> the TOM'S cars are starting to build a gap to Yamamoto while he is stuck behind trying to lap some cars
- 02:47:15: <SF_Live> DE PASQUALE!
- 02:47:21: <SF_Live> HE SPINS AT THE FINAL CORNER!
- 02:47:39: <SF_Live> He is stuck in the gravel!!!
- 02:47:50: <SF_Live> !!!
- 02:48:04: <SF_Live> He /almost/ makes contact with Mann while rejoining!!!!
- 02:48:13: <SF_Live> Mann has to abruptly break!
- 02:49:11: <SF_Live> That's most definitely going to be seen more closely...
- 02:49:19: <SF_Live> Not a nice move by De Pasquale there
- 02:50:06: <SF_Live> Miyata pits!
- 02:50:11: <SF_Live> He comes out 4th!
- 02:50:16: <SF_Live> Behind Fukuzumi!
- 02:50:27: <SF_Live> It seems that his attempt at building a gap hasn't worked!
- 02:51:25: <SF_Live> In the line of terrible strategy calls, Mardenborough's gotten jumped by Otsu and Rowland
- 02:51:33: <SF_Live> the latter of who is now in the points
- 02:59:59: <SF_Live> Things are gonna get quite interesting strategy wise, cause both Fukuzumi and Rowland are on two-stops, while everyone else is on a one-stop
- 03:00:32: <SF_Live> On other news
- 03:00:47: <SF_Live> Mann's terrible day continues, as she crashes and loses her FW
- 03:02:16: <SF_Live> Izawa!
- 03:02:24: <SF_Live> Gets a nice, clean move down the inside for 12th!
- 03:05:01: <SF_Live> Yamamoto!
- 03:05:03: <SF_Live> That's not nice!
- 03:05:14: <SF_Live> He punts Hirate while trying to lap him!
- 03:05:44: <SF_Live> Hirate goes off the track, but he gains control of the car and does not spin
- 03:07:00: <SF_Live> Rowland in the pits!
- 03:07:11: <SF_Live> Not good enough it seems!
- 03:07:23: <SF_Live> A 13.2!
- 03:07:56: <SF_Live> OTSU!
- 03:08:04: <SF_Live> HE LOSES CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SPINS!
- 03:08:32: <SF_Live> What a shame, he was on his way to 8th after that strategy call by Rowland
- 03:08:42: <SF_Live> (read: pleb)
- 03:09:00: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi pits!
- 03:09:22: <SF_Live> Not a good one either!
- 03:09:29: <SF_Live> A 13.0 for the Mugen crew
- 03:10:08: <SF_Live> He comes out 7th!
- 03:10:55: <SF_Live> These two-stops *seem* like a bad strategy call, but they will have a lighter and fresher car for the end of the race, will these two take advantage of that?
- 03:11:36: <SF_Live> TAKABOSHI!
- 03:11:51: <SF_Live> HE OVERSTEPS THE KERB AT THE FINAL CORNER AND LOSES IT!
- 03:12:35: <SF_Live> He is back into 20th, however
- 03:13:52: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi already up to 6th, he's overtaken Simpson
- 03:14:50: <SF_Live> Mann!
- 03:15:05: <SF_Live> Almost loses it yet /again/ on the last corner!
- 03:15:24: <SF_Live> She just comes under control of the car however
- 03:16:22: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi with a masterful overtake to Palou, down the inside for 5th
- 03:16:57: <SF_Live> BAGUETTE!
- 03:17:12: <SF_Live> He commits yet another error at the final corner and is on the gravel!
- 03:18:24: <SF_Live> DAISUKE!
- 03:19:11: <SF_Live> He oversteps it at T1 and does a half spin!
- 03:22:56: <SF_Live> Yamamoto having some serious trouble trying to lap da Costa
- 03:23:09: <SF_Live> Miyata is taking advantage to close the gap
- 03:23:42: <SF_Live> While it took an entire lap for Yamamoto to lap da Costa, Miyata does it in one corner
- 03:24:50: <SF_Live> It seems that Rowland and Fukuzumi weren't the only two-stoppers!
- 03:24:58: <SF_Live> Ishiura pits in!
- 03:25:24: <SF_Live> A 13.3, not very good
- 03:25:37: <SF_Live> He comes out 7th, just behind his teammate!
- 03:27:57: <SF_Live> ... actually, it seems that the majority of people are on two-stops, it's just that Rowland and Fukuzumi decided to pit very early
- 03:28:16: <SF_Live> please be patient, I have autism
- 03:29:45: <SF_Live> Miyata does his second pitstop
- 03:29:56: <SF_Live> A wonderful one at that, TOM'S doing top notch work
- 03:30:05: <SF_Live> A 11.5
- 03:31:38: <SF_Live> Loads of pits on this lap
- 03:32:08: <SF_Live> But Nakajima does it first, and it's a 12.9!
- 03:32:26: <SF_Live> He rejoins in 1st place
- 03:32:48: <SF_Live> Yamamoto pits
- 03:32:55: <SF_Live> but he comes out in 4th!
- 03:33:00: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi has jumped him!
- 03:33:28: <SF_Live> Or has he?
- 03:33:55: <SF_Live> His fuel load doesn't seem to be enough to last for the rest of the race...
- 03:35:14: <SF_Live> da Costa does a bit of drift down T1
- 03:35:29: <SF_Live> maybe he's gunning for a D1GP seat
- 03:36:17: <SF_Live> Fukuzumi is now 2nd
- 03:37:57: <SF_Live> Baguette's miserable day has come to an end, a water leak has made sure of that
- 03:39:10: <SF_Live> Mann!
- 03:39:47: <SF_Live> she has electrical problems
- 03:40:00: <SF_Live> What a terrible day for the Impul driver
- 03:40:12: <SF_Live> This is also I think her 4th pitstop
- 03:42:08: <SF_Live> Ishiura punts Sakaguchi while trying to lap him
- 03:42:32: <SF_Live> Nothing too bad comes out of it however, and Ishiura laps him cleanly on the backstraight
- 03:42:51: <SF_Live> MIYATA
- 03:43:00: <SF_Live> lmao
- 03:43:25: <SF_Live> he overtakes Fukuzumi for 2nd!
- 03:44:06: <SF_Live> however, that doesn't matter much
- 03:44:37: <SF_Live> as just here we predicted, Fukuzumi is gonna pit, he doesn't have enough to last the remaining 5 laps!
- 03:45:51: <SF_Live> However, he isn't the only one that's on a three-stopper, Sakaguchi also pits
- 03:46:45: <SF_Live> Rowland pits too
- 03:48:06: <SF_Live> Nakajima laps Nakajima
- 03:48:42: <SF_Live> MANN!
- 03:49:11: <SF_Live> Screws it yet again at the final corner and goes on another spin!
- 03:51:05: <SF_Live> Simpson pits and he returns in 9th
- 03:52:28: <SF_Live> He started on pole
- 03:53:20: <SF_Live> despite a somewhat slow start that Yamamoto took advantage of, he later recovered to dominate the race from beggining to end
- 03:54:39: <SF_Live> KAZUKI NAKAJIMA TAKES THE WIN AT THE 2019 SUPER FORMULA PACIFIC GRAND PRIX!!!
- 03:55:12: <SF_Live> Ritomo Miyata comes in 2nd, fantastic showing from TOM'S
- 03:55:35: <SF_Live> And Mugen's Naoki Yamamoto will complete the podium in 3rd!
- 03:56:21: <SF_Live> Despite their somewhat weird strategies, Ishiura and Fukuzumi showed their strength in the dying stages by finishing 4th and 5th
- 03:56:45: <SF_Live> Alex Palou scores his first point this season in 6th
- 03:57:04: <SF_Live> Jann Mardenborough brings some consolidation to Impul with 7th
- 03:57:29: <SF_Live> and the Hanamura of Nobuharu Matsushita completes the points, their first points in the category!
- 03:59:40: <SF_Live> Kazuki Nakajima also scored the fastest lap of the race, a 1:12.621
