Matsushita has returned to Honda for the 2022 season after a single GT500 campaign last year with Nissan, joining Koudai Tsukakoshi at the wheel of Real's Astemo-branded #17 Honda NSX-GT in place of Bertrand Baguette.
The Real pairing have enjoyed a strong winter, with Matsushita topping both afternoon sessions in Okayama pre-season testing (with the third-best time overall) and Tsukakoshi setting the third-fastest time in the final session last weekend in a rain-affected Fuji test.
