Bandoh pair Yuji Kunimoto and Sena Sakaguchi finished second on the road when Sunday's race was abandoned after a horrifying crash involving Nissan driver Tsugio Matsuda on lap 59 of 77, but were promoted to what many felt was a rightful win after a penalty for the NDDP Racing Nissan.
From second on the grid, the Yokohama-shod #19 Toyota GR Supra of Kunimoto held position in the first stint, holding off an attack from Bertrand Baguette's Impul Nissan before the first round of pitstops.
