In the No. 39 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing SARD entry, Yuhi Sekiguchi and Yuichi Nakayama carried SARD's decades-long Toyota racing partnership onto circuits from Okayama to Motegi, representing one of the most historically grounded GT500 programmes on the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"gr-supra-gt500-platform\"\u003eThe GR Supra GT500: Road Car Silhouette, Purpose-Built Race Machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 2020 to replace the Lexus LC500, the Toyota GR Supra GT500 borrows its bodywork lines from the A90 GR Supra road car but is built over a purpose-designed carbon-fibre GT500 monocoque that meets JAF GT500 regulations. Power comes from the NRE 2.0-litre inline-4 turbocharged engine — a standardised unit shared across all three GT500 manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, Nissan) with identical internal components mandated by the regulations to equalise performance across the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"sard-no39-2024\"\u003eSARD, Number 39, and a Partnership Stretching Back to the 1990s\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTOYOTA GAZOO Racing SARD — Société d'Applications et de Recherches en Dynamique — has been a Toyota motorsport partner since the 1990s, making the No. 39 car one of the most historically continuous entries in Super GT. The 2024 livery continues the team's red, white and black corporate palette with DENSO among the primary sponsors, a partnership itself long embedded in Toyota's motorsport identity. Yuhi Sekiguchi, a dual competitor in both Super GT and Super Formula, brings significant single-seater and touring car experience to the SARD cockpit, while Yuichi Nakayama has raced alongside him in the GT500 class across recent seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"spark-143-sard-supra\"\u003eSpark Model and the \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e GT500 Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench manufacturer Spark Model has built one of the most comprehensive GT500 replica programmes in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e, covering the series systematically since the mid-2010s. Their construction combines a resin body with photo-etched metal detailing — a method well suited to capturing the complex aerodynamic surfaces and sponsor graphics of GT500 cars. This model reproduces the No. 39 SARD GR Supra in its 2024 season specification, with Sekiguchi and Nakayama credited on the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet: Building the 2024 GT500 Grid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpark's systematic season-by-season approach makes the No. 39 SARD entry a natural component of a complete 2024 GT500 grid set. It sits alongside companion pieces such as the No. 36 au TOM'S GR Supra and No. 14 ENEOS X PRIME GR Supra, all in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e. For collectors focused on Toyota's racing lineage, the No. 39 also connects directly to the preceding SARD Lexus LC500 entries, offering a clear generational narrative on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPARK MODEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56285597335936,"sku":"SGT162","price":78.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vr-sgt162-front34_19dc8d71-ff82-4c82-b261-9d355ae29394.png?v=1792083563","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/toyota-supra-gr-team-tgr-sard-n-39-gt500-class-super-gt-2024-yuhi-sekiguchi-yuichi-nakayama-187003","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
