Japanese youngster Rikuto Kobayashi, runner-up in the 2023 Gran Turismo World Series Nations Cup, will be driving in the 2024 Super GT Championship, having been selected for a seat in the GT300 category.

After a break in real-world racing following the controversial events at the end of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 championship, Igor Fraga will be returning to action this season in Japan’s major national racing series.

The relationship between Nissan and GT Academy seems to be well and truly over, as the brand appears to have all-but ended its relationship with the sole remaining driver. Jann Mardenborough, who won the competition in 2011 and has been part of the brand’s Super GT campaign in recent years, no longer has a spot in the factory GT500 GT-Rs for 2021.

Fans looking to watch live coverage of the 2019 Autobacs Super GT season will have to wait no more.

Although Nissan is shaking up its motorsports program for 2019, one driver who’s going nowhere for now is Jann Mardenborough.

Although we’ve pretty much seen Toyota’s new Supra now, it’s scheduled to debut, at long last, in Detroit on January 14. However, before the main event, there’s one more piece of business for the Supra to check off: its Super GT racing car.

After a long summer break the prestigious Super GT series has resumed its exciting rivalry. Following two months off, the world’s fastest GT cars returned to action at Sugo, the series’ northernmost venue.

Last year, Sega made its return to racing with Daytona Championship USA, a modern take on the highest-grossing arcade game of all time. It seems there’s more to the company’s plans, however, as this week it’s unveiled another new racer — and this one really is new in the truest sense of the word.

Another tense round of the 2017 Super GT series has recently concluded. After 65 laps, Kazuki Nakajima and James Rossiter took the No.36 au TOM’S Lexus LC500 to a decisive win in the top GT500 class at Autopolis.

The second race of the 2017 Super GT series held at Fuji Speedway concluded last Thursday. After 110 laps of high-speed competition, Yuji Tachikawa and Hiroaki Ishiura from team Zent Cerumo (#38) claimed a top podium placement in the GT500 class and overall.

The driver slots for the 2017 Super GT season are steadily filling up. Although the class GT300 remains to be fully completed, drivers for the class GT500 are already known. One of them is Jann Mardenborough, the talented GT Academy alumni who will compete under supervision of the Team Impul Calsonic. With the help of his co-driver Hironobu Yasuda, Jann will be steering the wheels of the Nissan GT-R (#12), painted in highly recognizable blue livery.

In spite of his heroic efforts displayed on track this year in the Super GT series, the top step of the podium eluded Jann Mardenborough this past weekend. After missing the 2016 All-Japan F3 title by a narrow margin, a very similar scenario befell the GT Academy grad at Motegi. Ater two back-to-back 250 km races at the circuit, Jann and his co-driver Kazuki Hoshino settled their team B-Max NDDP GT-R at 4th position in the GT300 class.

This weekend we’re going to find out the new title-holders of the 2016 Super GT season. The races designated to conclude another season of this stimulating touring series will be held at Twin Ring Motegi course, with both Saturday and Sunday featuring 250km races. Our eyes will be on Jann Mardenborough and Kazuki Hoshino, who are one step away from winning the GT300 title. Can it happen?

Due to the exciting conclusion of the 2016 All-Japan Formula 3 series, we’ve barely been able to keep up with the other racing activities the ever-busy Jann Mardenborough has been involved with. The talented GT Academy wasted no time in adding more silverware to his shelf, this time in the familiar silhouette of the Nissan GT-R: alongside co-driver Kazuki Hoshino, Jann helped put the B-Max NDDP car on the podium in the GT300 class. This is the second podium placement for the team since they snatched the gold at the 500km Fuji endurance event last May.
