Anyone who says '6th place at the 8 Hours, is that all?' doesn't understand endurance racing at all. Rain, safety cars, penalties — you have no idea how much nerve it takes to survive that chaos for 8 hours straight and bring points home. Having watched this stuff trackside myself, I can tell you Yoshimura's finish here is pure grit crystallized. The thread to the title hasn't snapped yet.

Just finishing 8 hours in those conditions is impressive enough.

A safety car coming out because of bad weather is unavoidable. Better than pushing it and crashing.

I feel like Yoshimura used to be a more regular fixture near the top of the 8 Hours back in the day.

6th place and calling it 'keeping hope alive'... hasn't the title fight already slipped away?

EWC's a series championship, so finishing and picking up points is what matters.

Yoshimura hung in there even at 6th, in that chaotic 8 Hours finishing and scoring points was huge.

Taking a penalty against the factory teams and still finishing 6th — that's a solid result.
