Behind them, #090 Teruru MotoUP Racing approaches and changes positions. However, #090 Teruru MotoUP Racing crashes in the fifth corner. They quickly restart and pit in, minimizing their loss. When #12 CLUB1.2FK Kusitani Kawaguchi pits, #11 BLUE EYES & DREAM Kashiwa takes the lead again, but the positions change with #12 CLUB1.2FK Kusitani Kawaguchi and #080 Teruru MotoUP Racing. The difference in pit stay time for each class is significant, and NST-CBR emerges at the top. However, when the night race begins, #090 Teruru MotoUP Racing shows an astonishing pace.
