Many teams announced their drivers as far back as December, meaning there are no major surprises on the entry list – except for one team, CarGuy MKS Racing.
Following the two official pre-season tests, CarGuy MKS Racing has declared that it will have the new Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo kit ready to race at Okayama, joining PONOS Racing in debuting the latest Evo kit in the first race of the season.
In addition, British sophomore Zak O’Sullivan will now be partnered by Reimei Ito for the opening round, over Toyota-backed rookie Kiyoshi Umegaki. Ito signed initially as the team’s third driver, bringing prior GT3 and GT300 experience as well as a 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup Japan title to the team. He reunites with Team Director Misato Haga, who’d managed the Yogibo Racing team during Ito’s rookie year in GT300 back in 2023.
Meanwhile, despite Okayama being the team’s home circuit, Velorex (formerly Team LeMans) will run the pre-Evo version of the 296 GT3, at least for the opening round – and both versions will have different Balance of Performance parameters.
The inclusion of the #5 Mach Syaken/Air Buster MC86 on the entry list also indicates that the team will have its Dome-constructed Toyota 86 MC repaired after Souta Arao’s accident during the Fuji test.
