Since last year, ex-Formula 1 racer Kobayashi has combined his WEC and Super Formula duties with an assault on IMSA’s Michelin Endurance Cup aboard a second Action Express Racing Cadillac DPi-V.R alongside Jimmie Johnson and Mike Rockenfeller.
He also made a one-off GTD Pro outing at Mosport in July, when he replaced an injured Jack Hawksworth in the Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3.
