Headword 1単走
Reading 1たんそう
Part-of-speechn
English 1In D1 Grand Prix racing, the first or solo run of one of the rounds of competition.
ReferenceFrom Wikipedia:
In a championship event, usually entries are restricted to one hundred cars. Each car gets an allocation of three individual tansou (solo run) qualifying runs: only the best one counts. At the end of the day, the top twenty qualifiers join the ten seeded cars who are determined by the top ten on the D1GP championship tables. The seeded drivers are usually a red background on their number to identify them.
