Excerpt from the article….
Retasked for time attack, the S2000 was ready to return to the track to turn laps. With J’s Racing’s founder Umemoto behind the wheel, the S2000 laid rubber down on Suzuka Circuit’s racing surface. After running the 3.6-mile, 17-turn Grand Prix course, the team recorded a best lap time of 2’19.257. But this S2000 should still be able to shave more time from the clock, according to Murakami, as it’s still carrying some unnecessary weight. The chassis reinforcement that was added for Option2 Taikyu competition added essential strength to the AP1. For time attack, however, much of this was overkill and not necessary. Future plans therefore include a weight reduction, which Murakami anticipates should be on the order of around 220 pounds. Once the weight has been lost, Umemoto and the S2000 will return to Suzuka to pursue the C3S (mid size, front engine, RWD, semi-slick tires) class record.
