The names of Nissan drivers have been revealed by the Japanese manufacturer for the upcoming Super GT season. Unsurprisingly, the 2022 world champion pair made up of the Belgian Bertrand Baguette and the Japanese Kazuki Hiramine are back with the Japanese manufacturer for the Impul team, their car adorned with the No. 1 and Bridgestone tires.

NDDP Racing will once again trust Katsumasa Chiyo and Mitsunori Takaboshi, runners-up to Baguette-Hiramine in 2022. Still on the basis of the 2022 campaign, Nismo extends Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli in the No. 23 car. Michelin will continue to supply tires to these teams.

The last team, Kondo Racing, follows in the footsteps of the previous ones by keeping Kohei Hirate in duo with Daiki Sasaki, signing 9th place in the championship in Super GT. The Yokohama manufacturer will continue to equip car No. 24.

On the GT300 side, the No. 56 crew is not yet complete, the teammate of the Brazilian Joao Paulo de Oliveira having not yet been announced. All the drivers of the Gainer team are known: Hironobu Yasuda and Riki Okusa will be part of the No. 10 crew, and the No. 11 will be made up of Ryuichiro Tomita, Keishi Ishikawa and Yusuke Shiotsu.
