Running in second place behind the race leading SARD Toyota of Yuhi Sekiguchi, Takaboshi suffered a huge incident on the start/finish straight on lap 59 of 100 while trying to avoid the slow Arnage Toyota 86 MC of Takeshi Suehiro.
Takaboshi was able to extricate himself from the car and escaped major injury after initial scans, but the damage to the barriers was such that the race had to be halted for a prolonged period of time.
