Nissan has signed Teppei Natori to replace Kiyoto Fujinami at the title-winning Kondo Nissan GT300 team in SuperGT. Full story:
Ex-FIA F3 racer Natori replaces two-time series champion Kiyoto Fujinami at the wheel of Kondo’s #56 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 for the upcoming campaign.
Natori was subsequently spotted driving for Kondo alongside de Oliveira in a GTA-organised test for GT300 cars at Fuji Speedway last week. He is thought to have turned down the chance to drive for Nissan GT300 team Gainer last year as he pursued a drive in F2, but nonetheless forged a relationship with the marque last year with a series of outings in Super Taikyu.
Before that, Fujinami had been expected to step up to Kondo's GT500 entry in place of Kohei Hirate, who has been handed a reprieve to stay alongside Daiki Sasaki for a second season.The other three cars in the Nissan GT500 stable were all confirmed to have unchanged driver pairings for 2023 in last month’s announcement, in which Gainer's line-ups for its pair of GT-Rs in the GT300 class were also confirmed.
