In just three years, car collector and amateur racing driver Takeshi Kimura has turned his CarGuy brand into one of the most popular automotive and entertainment companies in Japan, aided in large part by their racing activities.

At this weekend’s Shibuya Sports Car Festival in Tokyo, Kimura told fans in a talk show/exhibit that CarGuy Racing – already established in series such as Super Taikyu, Blancpain GT Asia, and the Lamborghini Super Trofeo – have purchased the first Honda NSX GT3 in Japan, and are discussing the possibility of entering the Autobacs Super GT Series in 2018.

Think of CarGuy as being akin to a Japanese equivalent of the web-based video series /DRIVE – where Kimura tackles the world’s fastest supercars in unique challenges, such as driving a Ferrari F40 through the snow, or doing a full-on drift attack in a McLaren P1.

2017 was a watershed year for CarGuy Racing as they entered GT3-based championships for the first time with their Lamborghini Huracán GT3. The highlight of their season came in August, when they won one of the Blancpain GT Series Asia races at Fuji Speedway as a local wildcard entry, as well as competing in the last two-thirds of the Super Taikyu season in the ST-X class.

On Thursday, CarGuy Racing made an official announcement via Facebook that the team were the first to purchase Honda’s new NSX GT3, which had a successful soft launch in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2017, in advance of its full-scale customer launch.

Takeshi Kimura will drive the car in a pro-am driver lineup with a partner to be determined. Last year, the team had 2012 GT300 Drivers’ Champion Naoki Yokomizo, as well as newly-crowned Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia drivers Kei Cozzolino and Afiq Yazid driving for them alongside Kimura.

In a statement, Kimura wished to thank Honda and M-TEC for their support, and their blessings to entrust the car to a gentleman driver.

CarGuy Racing will announce their motorsports activities in mid-January, and by then we will know if they will be another intriguing addition to the strongest-ever GT300 field for 2018.
