Kind of race I'd have loved to watch. Race of attrition. Not too unhappy to retire, as not much boost was really wasted. Perhaps a chance for some careful drivers to earn good pointsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Whoa! Ok... not expecting points unless it's retirements galore, which is possible at Watkins Glenby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
6th, from 15th with low boost. I am amazed & delighted at that. Made up for Monza already, & I can confirm that Ihara's seat is safe for the rest of this season. Onto the final GP's & a push to raise our championship position, & also a push to chase down our first podiumby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Starting 15th with low boost, I can be happy that our team Japan is heading for points. Getting past Finland & into the top 5 is our goal now, or be it, a tough goalby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Good rise into the points, then pitting. Anxious to see where Ihara can emerge after all stopsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Bloody hell... caught the deadline just in time. Quite note that I'm relocating to China next week, so if there is a lack of activity on my part, that is the reason. Hoping Team Japan performs well in Portugal, & bounces back after a difficult & disappointing Monzaby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Only had to watch 5 mins. P**sed off at the wasted boost there. Maybe be better off with one of Yuji Ide's relatives in the car. You'd better at least contemplate committing harakiri, Iraha. Absolute no excuse for that. I wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the boost...by SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Happy with points for 7th. Up 10 places really since we were 17th on lap 1. Well done to Finland, we couldn't past you at all. Real excellent driving there, & especially to take advantage of Brazil's issues to pass South Korea. Truly inspired. On to the next oneby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
15th? That isn't great. Tough race ahead, but hopefully we can go flat out & make a few positions up. Look out for some great overtakesby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Team Japan are excited to visit Spa, the scene of a rare period of success for us, until bad luck decided to show his face again. Let's hope we can return in good form & put our first DNF of the season behind usby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Annoyed doesn't describe it. An end to consecutive finishes, & it wasn't even our fault. To make it worse, Germany went on to score a point. As rock band Feeder say, it'll come back around Prepare as we push for podiums & wins. We've complained to the race stewards, but have been told it was a "racing incident"by SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
13th is a shock. Looking forward to a, hopefully, clean raceby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Wow... So much boost being used this round. Points may be toughby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Interesting that while sitting 5th in the championship, Team Japan hasn't secured a podium yet. 13th (UAE) is the next championship team not to secure a podium. Consistency we'll be looking to keep up in Germanyby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
More solid points gratefully received. Some good overtaking action alsoby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Team Japan ready for France. Always a big following here, so hope we can perform well for the fans. Looking to continue the consistency. Is there an award for being the only team never to retire? XDby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
I'm away on holiday from this weekend, & have PM'ed the GPGNC account of my prefs for the next round. Team Japan would also like to announce that Tomoko Ihara's big sister, the F3 & Le Mans series legend, Keiko Ihara, will be stepping in as caretaker principal of the team in my absence. She will co-run the team with another ex-driver, in the form of Tora Takagi, & inby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Very happy with 4th. 11 seconds off a podium spot isn't bad going considering the boost used. I feel that podium is very close, & results like this keeps us consistentby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
4th isn't bad as pitstops take place. Hopefully, Ihara can keep the car on track & bring home more good pointsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4

I'd say someone kicked for inactivity is completely different to someone retiring their car. Retiring suggested the car (plus the driver & numberby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Outwith Montenegro/Ireland, Team Japan are the only team not to have a non-finish. We are aiming to keep up such luck/reliability & push for our 1st podium/winby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Thought Venezuela was waiting?by SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
So close to points with very little boost. Nice fight with Netherlands at the end thereby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Honda hoping that Team Japan (& other teams they supply) have a good race at the Hungaroring, 10 years since their F1 victoryby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Hmm... I thought we'd taken 10th, but appears we overtook Scotland on lap 28 \o/ So a couple more points gratefully received after an offby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
Hmm... Not good. Hope a few cars ahead crash out or retire so we can grab some pointsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
6th isn't bad. Looking to more pointsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
After a couple Asian rounds of the championship, Team Japan is ready to go in Europe. The expectations are purely set at more consistent pointsby SakuMiku - Grand Prix 4
