Overview
- On Sunday at the Super GT Fuji 300km, a Lap 5 restart on the long Fuji straight turned violent when contact in a three‑car scramble left Igor Fraga’s Honda briefly airborne and flipped.
- Race footage and steward reports say Bertrand Baguette made contact with Mitsunori Takaboshi, which pushed Takaboshi into Fraga and started the spin that exposed the Honda’s rear wing to lift.
- Officials immediately red‑flagged the race and emergency crews reached the scene; Fraga was taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary checks and has been cleared of serious injury and released.
- Race stewards handed Baguette a 90‑second stop‑and‑go penalty for his role, Baguette apologised publicly, and the incident left his team two laps down in the final classification.
- Nakajima Racing says Fraga’s car suffered heavy damage but may be repairable before Suzuka, and the crash has prompted scrutiny of high‑speed aero risks on Fuji’s long straight and of restart procedures.
