The qualifying sessions were held on June 20 and 21. Although this year's first qualifying session suffered a sudden thunderstorm, the weather cleared yet high temperatures brought on severe conditions for cars and drivers. The #Lexus #LC aimed to participate in the "Top Qualifying"―which the #Lexus #LC missed out on last year―while the #grsupra aimed to promote further development by competing with rivals. The #Lexus #LC started in 35th place overall on the grid, unfortunately, with the #grsupra in 99th place overall.

On the grid, 158 cars lined up for the race, which started at 3:30 p.m. on June 22. Gamo was the starting driver for the #Lexus #LC, and MORIZO, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, was the starting driver for the #grsupra.

The #Lexus #LC, which started in the top group, continued running well and maintained a position of 30th overall. The #grsupra, which started at the end of same group, also made a good start and gradually raised its position. However, high temperatures caused the drivers to lose concentration and had a negative impact on the cars, resulting in multiple collisions across the course. The race became one of survival.
