GT300 veteran Nitta announces SUPER GT retirement. Morio Nitta to conclude unbroken SUPER GT tenure stretching back to 1996 after surprise Autopolis win... Three-time GT300 class champion Morio Nitta has announced he will conclude a three-decade stint as a SUPER GT driver at end of the season. Nitta, 59, revealed the news on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's season-closing double-header at Motegi, coming not long after he scored his first victory for seven years in last month's Autopolis round alongside K-tunes Racing co-driver Shinichi Takagi. It brings to a close an unbroken tenure in the Japanese sports car racing series that stretches back to 1996, the year in which he won the first of his three titles. Notably, Nitta has spent his entire 30-year career in SUPER GT in the GT300 division, winning further championships in 1999 and 2002. "At the end of this season, I, Morio Nitta, will be drawing a line under my journey as a SUPER GT driver," wrote Nitta in a brief statement on social media. "'Persistence pays off' are words that have always been close to my heart since I was young. I believe the fact I have been able to continue driving for this long is not down to my own strength, but down to those around me who have allowed me to continue. "To everyone in the team, the mechanics, the sponsors, and all the rivals I have fought against, and all the fans, thank you very much. "I will give it my everything in the last two races of the season at Motegi. I want to have fun together with everyone until the very last lap, so please support me until the end." Nitta's first title came in his debut season in 1996 sharing a Team Taisan Porsche 911 RSR with Keiichi Suzuki, but it was in 1999 that he formed an enduring partnership with current co-driver Takagi driving for the A'PEX (now apr) Toyota squad. He would win the title solo that year as Takagi didn't join until the second round, but the pair shared honors three years later for the same team, and remained co-drivers all the way through the 2010 season. When apr and ARTA went their separate ways in 2011, Nitta stuck with apr for a further four seasons before switching to the Inging-run squad LM Corsa in 2015, which eventually led him to joining his current team, K-tunes, in 2018. Sharing the squad's Lexus RC F GT3 in 2019 with Sena Sakaguchi, Nitta finished runner-up in the GT300 standings, his best ranking since his final year at ARTA with Takagi in 2010, before the Okayama Toyopet-owned team went fully independent in 2020. He was reunited with Takagi in 2022 when his long-time co-driver joined the team, but the pair had only scored a single podium finish, also at Autopolis in 2024, before reaching the top step of the podium at the same track last month. It marked Nitta's 23rd victory in the GT300 class, extending his record as the driver with most wins in the division, one ahead of Takagi. Two-time GT300 Champion Orido Set for Final Hurrah at Motegi News of Nitta's retirement follows that of another GT300 class champion, Manabu Orido, who also announced his plans to step down from active driving duties late last month. Orido, 57, is a two-time GT300 champion in 1997 and 2009, both with the Racing Project Bandoh team. However, unlike Nitta, he did enjoy a spell in the senior GT500 class between 2000 and 2007, scoring two victories in that time in Toyota machinery. He has been a fixture of the apr team since 2018, and has been part of the driver lineup for the team's No. 30 Toyota GR86 GT since 2022, but stepped down to a third driver role this year in support of Hibiki Taira and gentleman driver Hiroaki Nagai. However, Orido will take part in the two season-closing Motegi races in the No. 30 car alongside Taira, with Nagai stepping down for the weekend. Orido has been associated with Yokohama tires for the majority of his career, and his retirement comes as the brand prepares to withdraw from SUPER GT as the championship switches to one-make tires for the 2027 campaign.

Silverstone aiming to be "next biggest" Race after Le Mans. Circuit boss Stuart Pringle bullish Silverstone can draw six-figure weekend crowds after securing return to WEC schedule... Silverstone CEO Stuart Pringle has outlined an ambition for the British track to become the "next biggest" race on the FIA World Endurance Championship calendar behind the 24 Hours of Le Mans after securing a deal to return to the calendar next year. The home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, and a former staple of the WEC schedule prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, was confirmed as part of the 2027 calendar when it was revealed at Le Mans last month with an April date. It marks the start of a new four-year deal with promoter Le Mans Endurance Management that will see Silverstone host WEC events at least through to 2030. Pringle told selected media including Sportscar365 that he's already "looking beyond this four-year deal" as it seeks to tap into its primarily Formula 1-derived fanbase to build up interest in the revived 6 Hours of Silverstone. "This is a genuine partnership with WEC," he said. "We're very much in this together. They really want to be at Silverstone. They consider it to add value to the calendar and I'm determined that we don't let them down and we give them an event. "Nothing's going to rival [Le Mans], but I see no reason why we can't quickly be the next biggest race on the calendar." He added: "I anticipate that there'll be a really strong first year, because I think there's a pent-up demand for this, and I think there's an angle to get people excited about it. "Our challenge is to explain to people who have become fans of Formula 1 that actually this is every bit as good, and unpack it for them and explain how this is an incredible game of chess which plays out over six hours, and tactically it's every bit as enthralling." Becoming the next-largest race on the WEC schedule after Le Mans in terms of attendees would require surpassing the 6 Hours of Spa, which welcomed 101,606 fans over the course of three days earlier this year. Asked if he felt a six-figure weekend crowd was viable, Pringle replied: "I think that that is absolutely achievable over the weekend at Silverstone. I think we can get to six figures over the weekend in this contract, yes." Involvement of British Marques, ELMS Success Key to WEC Return Pringle went on to cite the involvement of Aston Martin, and the looming arrival of McLaren, in the WEC's Hypercar class as one of the factors that has made him confident about being able to attract a sizeable crowd. "You need British brands," he stated. "The best example I can give you of that is the challenges we have trying to promote MotoGP, where there are no British manufacturers, no British teams and no British riders in the premier class. And it's really difficult. "If you contrast that with Formula 1, where in the opening race at Melbourne, this year's championship, there are only three people in the top eight that weren't British. "So, absolutely having Aston Martin and McLaren in this championship had a direct material impact in our decision-making. "It gives us confidence that we can build a crowd because they are huge brands and they're willing to work with us and support us. Silverstone's a big brand, but they are more emotional." Equally important was the success of the 2025 Silverstone ELMS round, where a weekend crowd of 110,000 fans was claimed by organizers. "I think there's people involved in that organization [LMEM] who weren't around when WEC was there before, so for them to turn up and see that cracking racing, and to see the latent interest in sports car racing, was important," said Pringle. "Also, working with us and seeing that we know what we're doing, we're a straightforward professional bunch of people who put on races, week in, week out, from really big ones to the clubbies that are on our stock-in-trade week in, allowing the ecosystem of British motorsport access to the premier circuit." Pringle reiterated that maintaining Silverstone's place on the ELMS calendar as a standalone event also remains a major priority. "ELMS is a really important meeting," he stated. "It's a European championship. It's very quick, it's very competitive, and it has its place. "I hope the largest crowd comes to WEC because that's the world championship, but I hope people come to WEC in April and go, 'That's really good, let's go again in September and see the ELMS'. I see no reason why people wouldn't come [to both]. "I want them both, and I want them both to be successful meetings." Jamie Klein is Sportscar365's Asian editor.

Ohta eager to stay in IMSA even after Acura exit. Honda ace Kaku Ohta already pondering how to fit 2027 WeatherTech Championship program around other duties... Kaku Ohta has outlined a desire to race in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next year even after Acura withdraws from the top GTP class. The Honda factory driver made the remarks in the wake of his final scheduled appearance of the year for Acura Meyer Shank Racing in last month's Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, where he finished second alongside Nick Yelloly and Renger van der Zande. That marked Ohta's fifth outing in the Acura ARX-06 over the past year-and-a-half, while the Japanese driver has also gained LMP2 experience both in the WeatherTech Championship and in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans with Proton Competition. Ohta did not rule out making another appearance in the WeatherTech Championship this year in an LMP2 car, although only the season-closing Motul Petit Le Mans in early October does not clash with his Honda SUPER GT commitments. However, the 27-year-old admitted he is already considering how he might be able to remain involved in the championship beyond the end of this season. "Some teams have contacted me asking which races [this year] I can do," Ohta told Sportscar365. "I am happy to say that my reputation is becoming more widespread in the IMSA paddock. But chances are pretty limited due to my schedule [in Japan]. "I am not only thinking about this year, but also next year if there is a chance, if there's a chance to drive for a winning team. It would be great to drive more in IMSA next year." Ohta's packed schedule in Japan, including the Super Formula series that he currently leads and SUPER GT, left him available only for the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Watkins Glen round on this year's WeatherTech Championship calendar. He clarified that whatever he does in 2027 will depend on getting Honda's blessing. "There are a lot of options," added Ohta. "I would love to get more experience in Hypercar to prove my performance, and the [TV] broadcast is always focused on them. In LMP2, it depends a lot on the Bronze driver, but it is still a fun car to drive. "Now I am focused on deciding what path I should take for next season. But it's all connected to my contract with Honda, because that remains my top priority." Ohta's "Relief" to End Acura GTP Chapter with Podium Finish Second place for the No. 93 car shared by Ohta, Yelloly and van der Zande marked the Kyoto Prefecture-born driver's first WeatherTech Championship podium in seven attempts across the GTP and LMP2 classes, his previous best finish being fifth. While partly disappointed to lose out to the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R in the fight for the win, Ohta said that finally being able to bag a top-three finish that he had been targeting for so long was a satisfying way to end the Acura GTP chapter. "We really wanted to win the race, and at some point we had the pace," he recalled. "But it was obvious that the No. 31 was too fast. Even if we changed all four tires for the last stint, and had a decent amount of fuel, I remember the No. 31 just changed two tires and short-filled and their pace was still too fast, and we couldn't catch them. "Just after the race, I was disappointed that we didn't win, but once we went up to the podium I felt a big sense of relief. It has taken a long time; since my first LMDh run [at Daytona] in December 2024, it has been one-and-a-half years. "When I think back earlier in my career, in Super Formula Lights, Super Formula, SUPER GT, I was able to score a podium within the first year. "I know I was not driving full-time, but it has never taken me so long just to get a podium. So I was really happy to finally be able to take the trophy back to Japan."
