The Sakura marque has failed to register a win in the opening four races of the season for the first time since 2017, with GT500 rivals Nissan and Toyota having split honours evenly between them in the first half of the 2023 campaign.
Nissan’s #3 car, the NDDP Racing Z of Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi, leads the standings following its win earlier this month at Fuji, five points clear of the #36 TOM’S Toyota GR Supra of Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata in second.
