Hirakawa “lucky” to suffer DNF in half-points race

Impul driver Hirakawa was one of several drivers to get caught up in a melee at the first corner of Sunday’s delayed race, which was finally run over just 13 of the planned 42 laps owing to heavy rain and fog.
Hirakawa was tagged by the Inging machine of Sho Tsuboi at Turn 1, with both drivers spinning and getting beached in the gravel as a result.
