Sobue defends All Japan Touring Car title

Akio Sobue has successfully defended his JMRCA All Japan Electric Touring Car Championship title, the Axon driver winning the title for a fourth time with victory over Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa last weekend at Green Park Speedway in Hanno City.  In qualifying, the World Championship podium finisher would secure the TQ on a tiebreaker with Zero Tribe driver Yanagisawa, both counting a TQ and P2 run as their scores.  In double A-Main finals, Sobue would lead home Yanagisawa and his Axon team-mate Hayato Ishioka in both encounters to become the 2023 Champion and that was how they would line up on the podium.  Tamiya driver Souta Goto would finish fourth on tie break with Xray’s Makoto Sawada.
