Takaboshi was chasing race leader Yuhi Sekiguchi in the SARD Toyota on lap 59 when he was forced to swerve to the left to avoid the slow-moving #50 Arnage Toyota GT300 car of Takeshi Suehiro that was running very close to the pit wall.
This caused the Takaboshi driver to lose control of his Nissan Z and he crashed hard into the barriers on the left-hand side of the track, with pieces of debris flying from his car.
