It’s hard to think of a recent SUPER GT champion who has taken such an unlikely path to the top as Hiramine, who alongside teammate Bertrand Baguette ended a 27-year title drought for Team Impul this year.
While Baguette is known to European audiences for his exploits in IndyCar, Formula Renault 3.5 and WEC, and the likes of Naoki Yamamoto, Sho Tsuboi and Yuhi Sekiguchi are all active in Super Formula, 30-year-old Hiramine has no such illustrious background - making his transformation into one of the stars of the Nissan GT500 stable all the more remarkable.
