The 2024 Super GT GT300 season brought together two drivers with a compelling story under a single entry number. Car No. 50, operated by Anest Iwata Racing, fielded Igor Omura Fraga and Yuga Furutani in a Lexus RC F GT3 that ran the full calendar — from Okayama to Motegi — dressed in the distinctive blue and white livery of precision equipment manufacturer Anest Iwata Corporation. Spark Model has captured the complete package in resin at 1:43.
Toyota Racing Development (TRD) built the RC F GT3 on the Z10-generation RC F road car platform, retaining the 2UR-GSE 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V8 in race-tuned form. The car wears a carbon-fibre body with a full GT3 aerodynamic package — front splitter, large rear wing, and underbody diffuser — meeting FIA GT3 regulations first adopted for competition in 2017. The engine delivers approximately 500 hp under GT3 Balance of Performance rules, making it one of the few remaining naturally-aspirated V8 entries in the class.
Car No. 50 and the Fraga–Furutani Partnership
Igor Omura Fraga brings a dual Brazilian-Japanese identity to Japanese domestic motorsport, having established himself across both Super GT and Super Formula. Paired with Yuga Furutani, the No. 50 entry contested the full 2024 Super GT GT300 calendar, which spanned circuits including Fuji, Suzuka, Autopolis, and Sugo. Their Lexus ran under the banner of Anest Iwata Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer specialising in precision compressors and spray-finishing equipment — a sponsor with deep roots in Japanese industrial culture whose blue and white branding gives the car an immediately recognisable livery.
Spark Model's Resin 1:43 Scale Model
French manufacturer Spark Model is the primary producer of official Super GT replicas at 1:43, and this release continues their comprehensive GT300 class coverage into the 2024 season. Built in resin with photo-etched metal details, the model reproduces the Anest Iwata Racing blue and white livery, car number 50, and the RC F GT3's characteristic GT3 bodywork including the rear wing and front splitter. Spark's 1:43 Super GT range is the reference point for serious completists of the Japanese series.
In the Display Cabinet: Building the 2024 GT300 Grid
The No. 50 Anest Iwata entry sits naturally alongside Spark's broader 2024 Super GT GT300 lineup, including other Lexus RC F GT3 entries and Toyota GR86 GT machinery from the same season. Collectors focused on Japanese domestic motorsport, dual-nationality drivers, or Lexus GT3 machinery across multiple seasons will find this release connects directly with entries from 2022 and 2023. Given Anest Iwata's niche industrial profile outside Japan, this model is unlikely to achieve wide retail distribution, reinforcing its appeal as a specialist Japanese domestic collectible.
