MIKI KOYAMA Makes History With Back-To-Back SUPER GT Podiums For apr Lexus

May 13, 2026

• MIKI KOYAMA rewrites history books as SUPER GT’s first female driver with multiple podiums, edging past JUNE OKANOYA and LILOU WADOUX. Third-place finishes at Okayama and Fuji with Kazuto Kotaka mark dramatic turnaround from winless 2025 campaign.
• Led nine laps at Fuji before pit stop, executing calculated strategy focused on tire management over aggressive defending. Pit crew error cost potential P2, losing six seconds during driver change to Kotaka.
• Championship position P2, trailing D’station Aston duo by three points but carrying hefty 64kg success ballast into August Fuji round. Strategic focus shifts to point accumulation until weight reduction arrives in season’s final races.
• Technical growth evident in racecraft refinement: improved GT500 traffic management for overtaking opportunities, enhanced fuel efficiency discipline, and eliminating qualifying mistakes. Team-focused approach prioritizes collective performance over individual showcase moments.
