Kenta Yamashita and Kazuya Oshima endured a year to forget in 2023 as they wound up seventh in the standings with just a single top-three finish to their name, which came when the disqualification of the #23 NISMO Nissan in the August Suzuka race promoted them to third.
What made their difficulties even more puzzling is that Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata assembled a dominant campaign at the wheel of their #36 TOM'S Toyota GR Supra, winning three times (a feat not managed since 2011) and taking the title by a solid margin.
