Chantra’s exploit: he takes the Japanese GP from start to finish

Date:

The Thai pilot Somkiat Chantra This weekend at the Japanese GP he achieved a feat only available to the chosen: dominated all Grand Prix classifications and signed it with a Grand Chelem: pole, victory and fastest lap leading all laps of career. Next to Ai Ogura achieved the double for the home team, Honda Team Asia, and Pedro Acosta came third, eleventh place of the campaign, with the added bonus of already having a two-race cushion with Tony Arbolino.

It was clear from the start that Chantra was going for his second victory after Mandalika last year and the fight to chase him was tough in the first corners, so Canet and Acosta held off each other in loss of positions. . Alonso López, with a pending double long lap penalty he had from India, tried to take it, but lost it to Ogura before doing the first long lap at turn five. The Madrid native eventually fell to tenth place and never came back.

Pedro Acosta freed him for third place and although Jake Dixon joined him to fight it out, on opening gas he had enough to free the Englishman from the Aspar Team and take third place. There’s not much else to this GP, but coming back for qualifying is great. Arbolino was always in places outside the top-10 and there he stayed, eleventh.
