Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific customer team Seven x Seven Racing makes its highly anticipated debut in Super GT this weekend at Okayama International Circuit in the GT300 category.

This event will also mark Porsche’s first appearance in Japan’s most competitive GT championship since 2021. The marque’s highlight in Super GT was securing the GT300 class win in 2012 with Kyosuke Mineo and Naoki Yokomizo.

The Japanese outfit have maned a strong driver line up with two-time Super Gt champion Kiyoto Fujinami joining multiple Porsche Carrera Cup Japan winner and GT World Challenge Asia driver Tsubasa Kondo.

The duo has already started 2025 on a high, winning on the squad’s maiden Supper Taikyu outing, alongside Bankcy at Okayama, taking a stunning lights-to-flag victory during the four-hour enduro.

As well as the Super GT and Super Taikyu, including Fuji 24 Hours, Seven x Seven Racing is also competing in Japan Cup, Porsche Carrera Cup Japan and Porsche Carrera Cup Middle East extending their partnership with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific.

The 2025 Super GT calendar sees the championship race at the best tracks in Japan and, for the first time since 2019, will head outside of the country to visit the popular Sebpang International Circuit in June.

Kiyoto Fujinami, Seven x Seven Racing: “It’s amazing for the team to be makings its Super Gt debut this weekend, as well as marking Porsche’s return to the series, as we continue and expand our partnership with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific. The series has a lot of talented drivers involved, but we know we can be competitive which is our aim this weekend”.

Tsubasa Kondo, Seven x Seven Racing: “It was great to work with the squad in Okayama last month when we won the first round of the Super Taikyu. This performance has given me a lot of confidence of how well we can work together as we look to achieve a positive result in the Super GT season opener”.

Alexandre Gibot, Managing Director Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific Ltd: “We’re thrilled to see Seven x Seven Racing making its Super GT debut and making Porsche’s first entry in the series since 2021. It’s truly special to make a strategic return to Japan’s most competitive GT championship. Seven x Seven Racing have an extended programme this season with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific and we’re looking forward to supporting them throughout the year. After an excellent maiden Super Taikyu victory last month we’re excited to see how their experienced driver line-up gets on during this weekend’s curtain-raiser at Okayama”.
