The third round of the season was cut short just after 75 percent distance following a huge crash at 130R involving the NISMO Nissan of Tsugio Matsuda and the JLOC Lamborghini of Kosuke Matsuura.
At the time of the stoppage, the NDDP Racing Nissan shared by Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi was leading by virtue of being the only car in the GT500 field not to have performed its second mandatory pitstop.
