The milestone of 40 GT3s reached for the 10 Suzuka 2019 Hours

A little less than two months before the start of the event, 5 new GT3s are appearing on the Suzuka 10 Hours grid. Two NSX GT3s will first bring the number of Hondas at the start to 4. The first, the Modulo Drago Corse, will be entrusted to Ryo Michagami and Hiroki Otsu, two GT300 drivers. Official driver of the brand in GT500, Daisuke Nakajima will support them. This car will be nominated to score championship points for Honda.

This will not be the case for the second NSX. Engaged by Arrows Racing, it will race at Suzuka in the Am category. The latter will be entrusted to the duo Philip Ma – Licka Lu, who races in Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia.

What a week for entries: first, #Spa24Hand now #Suzuka10H where 40 cars are expected this August!

And what's more, 25 of them are #IntGTC-nominated. https://t.co/zfUeB8wNFj@suzuka_event pic.twitter.com/RYFcvK98d1

Another Japanese machine, a Nissan, is also joining the Suzuka 10 Hours. Tairoku Racing adds a second GT-R in the Pro category. At the wheel will be Harrison Newey (Adrian's son), Nicolas Costa and multiple Super GT and Super Formula champion, Satoshi Motoyama. They will be eligible to score points for Nissan in the championship.

Two European GTs finally complete these arrivals. Wall Racing, first of all, will arrive with its Lamborghini for the Bathurst 12 Hours. Adrian Deitz, Cameron McConville and Tony D'Alberto will be responsible for taking the Italian on the 5,8 kilometer circuit. Recently winner at Suzuka in GT World Challenge Asia, Craft-Bamboo Racing adds a second Mercedes to its line-up.

These arrivals therefore bring the current number of entrants for the Suzuka 40 Hours to 10. But a lot can still change before the weekend of August 23 to 25, the date of this competition.
