Honda will once again field five cars in Super GT’s top GT500 class, with Team Kunimitsu, ARTA, Real Racing, Nakajima Racing and Team Mugen all entering a single car each.
Its new challenger will be based on the limited-edition Type S version of the NSX road car, which has been spied in testing but has yet to be officially unveiled.
The only change in the driver line-up is the arrival of Matsushita at Real Racing, in place of Belgian driver Baguette, alongside Koudai Tsukakoshi.
Matsushita therefore becomes a fully-fledged Honda factory driver for the first time, having previously had the marque’s backing for his GP2 and FIA F2 campaigns in 2015-17 and 2019 before joining Nissan for 2021.
Baguette is expected to be unveiled as Matsushita’s replacement at Nissan squad Impul for 2022.
Honda’s other Bridgestone-shod teams Kunimitsu (Naoki Yamamoto/Tadasuke Makino) and ARTA (Tomoki Nojiri/Nirei Fukuzumi) retain their respective line-ups for a third successive season.
