Race report: Kissling Motorsport Okayama Race Notes: Pole Position Relinquished According to Plan

*TICKER - THE OKAYAMA DISPATCH & REPAIR: POLE-SITTER REPORTS SURROUNDING VEHICLES MOVING FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED.*

Kissling Motorsport has completed its official internal audit following the 14-lap GT2 sprint at Okayama International Circuit. The event, executed over 51.38 kilometers of Japanese asphalt, yielded a seventh-place finish for the #96 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6R GT3 driven by Eiran Parsons.

The outing commenced in accordance with initial parameters. Parsons launched cleanly from pole position, leading the field through Lap 1, Lap 2, and Lap 3. During this period, the rear-view mirror indicated an orderly procession consisting of BMWs, Gumpert Apollos, and secondary Corvettes. Sector times were consistent with team expectations for an unhurried afternoon.

On Lap 4, an irregularity occurred. Car #63—a yellow Chevrolet Corvette C6-R GT2 piloted by an individual identified on the timing monitor as Fernando Horta—executed an overtake into Turn 1. Rumours of this maneuver had circulated among the pit crew as early as Lap 3, though visual confirmation was delayed by light haze and tyre degradation.

By Lap 6, additional competitors began occupying the space immediately ahead of the #96 chassis. Ian Jolicoeur in the #92 BMW E92 M3 GTR passed on the inside, followed shortly by Sam Rolfe's Gumpert Apollo and Christian Hamilton's #62 Corvette. By Lap 8, Parsons occupied eighth position before consolidating seventh place at the chequered flag, 28.596 seconds behind the total event duration recorded by Car #63.

Eiran Parsons (Driver, #96 Corvette): The first three laps were quiet. The car performed as requested. On Lap 4, the yellow car passed. On Lap 6, three more cars passed. On Lap 8, I observed a Porsche. The engine temperature stayed within normal limits throughout. We collected seven points or zero points, depending on the regulatory system in effect.

Corporal Hicks (Chief Tactical Officer): We maintained a perimeter defense at the front of the grid for thirty-six percent of the race distance. At Lap 4, motion sensors indicated a heavy unit closing fast from fifth on the grid. We did not panic. We executed a disciplined, backward sequence down to seventh. It was a clean drop. Nobody got alien acid on the bodywork.

Kissling Motorsport will now store the transporter, archive the telemetry files, and decline further comment regarding the nature of the yellow car that won the race.

Ps. Pippo, where are you?!
