Nakajima Racing is one of Honda's longest-running motorsport programmes in Japan, tracing its origins through Super GT and Formula Nippon. The 2020 season marked a regulatory watershed: the full implementation of Class One rules, aligning Super GT GT500 technical specifications with those of the DTM. Spark Model's resin replica locks in that specific moment — car number 64, the Modulo livery, and a pairing of two Honda development drivers — at 1:43.
The NSX-GT: Honda's GT500 Contender
The Honda NSX-GT is a purpose-built GT500-class racing car derived from the second-generation Honda NSX (NC1) road car. For 2020, the bodywork was updated to comply with the revised Class One technical regulations, a framework shared with the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. Power comes from the HR-414E, a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four paired with a kinetic energy recovery system, producing approximately 500 hp and mounted amidships in accordance with Class One packaging rules.
No. 64: Modulo, Nakajima, and Two Honda Drivers
Car number 64 was entered by Nakajima Racing — one of the most historically significant Honda-affiliated teams in Japanese motorsport — with Honda Access's Modulo accessories brand as title sponsor. The livery presents a dark navy-and-black base offset by blue and white graphic elements, a visual identity that stands apart from the red-and-white schemes common elsewhere on the 2020 GT500 Honda line-up. Takuya Izawa, a veteran Honda factory driver with a long Super Formula and Super GT career, shared the cockpit with Hiroki Otsu, a younger Honda-supported driver, representing the team's dual role as both competitor and development platform.
Spark Model at 1:43: Resin, Livery Accuracy, and the Super GT Series
This is a resin 1:43 scale model produced by Spark Model as part of their ongoing Super GT Japan series. Spark's 1:43 resin construction allows the fine graphic work of the Modulo scheme — the layered navy base, blue accent lines, and sponsor typography — to be rendered without the surface compromises inherent in diecast. The model documents the 2020 specification NSX-GT bodywork, distinguishing it from earlier or later NSX-GT versions on the Super GT grid.
In the Display Cabinet: Building the 2020 Super GT GT500 Grid
The No. 64 Modulo car sits naturally alongside other 2020 GT500 Honda entries — the No. 100 Raybrig Team Kunimitsu NSX-GT and the No. 17 Astemo Real Racing NSX-GT — for a coherent manufacturer grouping. It also pairs well with the 2020 Toyota GR Supra GT500 rivals for a full Class One-era grid representation. Collectors focused on Nakajima Racing specifically may look to the team's earlier NSX-GT seasons to trace the livery evolution across the 2018–2021 period.
