Comments from the Winning QT DIG∞ Players
― Please tell us your feelings of joy once again.
Kanata Kawakami: I am truly happy to have achieved our 4th consecutive title.
However, for myself, I feel there was a bit more I could have done, so I think there are still areas where I can grow by carrying them over to next season.
For now, I am relieved today, but I want to do my best towards the next one again.― What do you want to do most right now?
Hiroshi Okumoto: I guess it would be a drinking party.
I'm very happy that we were able to safely make this a victory celebration.― As the entry driver for the Round Final, Shunsuke Imamura, please tell us your current feelings.
Shunsuke Imamura: I am truly happy.
But as Kawakami said earlier, I think there was still more I could do.
In the final race, I intended to win but I couldn't.
I want to tighten up that part and do my best aiming for a 5th consecutive title next time.
