YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Nissan Motorsports & Customizing Co., Ltd. (NMC) today announced 2023 Super GT teams’ lineup and the team names of the GT4 programs.

“The Z, while it continues to fascinate with its exhilarating performance and beauty, has been active for many years in motorsports in the U.S. and Japan,” said NMC CEO Takao Katagiri. “In addition to Super GT GT500 class, in which the Z took first and second in the championship last year, the Z will start in the GT4 category this year. The Z symbolizes Nissan’s spirit of challenge and excitement. We will also continue to strongly support the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, which won the championship title in Super GT’s GT300 class last year. As always, we’ll do our very best to meet fans’ expectations, and we thank you for your ongoing support.”
