*Team Kunimitsu (#100)
Raybrig NSX made a pit stop on lap 22. This was minimum pit stop. Therefore, the team was fully refueled.
*Since the use of telemetry is not permitted in SGT, accurate fuel economy cannot be grasped.
*According to Yamamoto's radio, the fuel economy was barely enough.
Therefore, the team ordered the fuel save mode.
Yamamoto turned off the anti-lag and did a lift and coast.
With 10 laps remaining, Yamamoto directly appealed to let him attack because it would be meaningless to finish the race and lose to his rivals.
*So Hitoshi Iyoki chief engineer ordered him to make a full attack.
According to the estimate, the remaining fuel was calculated to be 1kg at the finish.
It is a number that can barely suck out fuel with 1kg.
As a result, the Raybrig NSX ran out of gas shortly after the checkered flag.

*Team Tom's (#37)
Masaki Koeda (# 37 chief engineer) blames himself.
Keeper Tom's was not fully refueled at the pit stop.
At the end of the race, there was a radio from Hirakawa saying that there was not enough gas in the remaining two laps.
The team hadn't even expected to run out of gas until then.
