Japanese motor racing season
The 2023 Bridgestone Toyota Gazoo Racing GR86/BRZ Cup was the eleventh running of the TGR GR86/BRZ Cup, a one-make motor racing championship for Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ sports cars operated by Toyota Gazoo Racing.[1] The championship featured a mix of Toyota factory drivers, independent professional drivers, and gentleman drivers, and commenced on 13 May at Sportsland SUGO and concluded on 26 November at Fuji Speedway.[2]
Subaru factory driver Takuto Iguchi won his second series championship during the series finale at Fuji despite a first-lap collision with Takamitsu Matsui and Reimei Itō, clinching the title by four points over runner-up Yuui Tsutsumi and third-placed Tōgo Suganami.[3]
