The No. 19 WedsSport Bandoh entry has been a fixture of the Autobacs Super GT Series GT500 class for well over a decade, its livery built around the branding of WedsSport, Japan's long-established aftermarket wheel manufacturer. For 2025, Toyota GT500 veteran Yuji Kunimoto shares the cockpit with Sena Sakaguchi, a rising factory driver representing the next wave of Japanese GT talent. Spark Model captures the pairing in resin at 1:43.
The GR Supra GT500: A90 Silhouette, Racing Specification
Introduced for the 2020 Autobacs Super GT season, the GR Supra GT500 is homologated from the A90-generation GR Supra road car. Beneath the regulation silhouette bodywork sits a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four — the NR20A unit — shared across all GT500 manufacturers under the series' common-engine regulations, developing approximately 600 hp. The racing car measures around 4,650 mm in overall length, built to GT500 technical parameters. It represents Toyota's return of the Supra nameplate to top-level Japanese motorsport after a long absence.
Car No. 19: WedsSport, Bandoh and a Driver Pairing Worth Noting
The Bandoh Racing team — operating under the Toyota GR Sport Bandoh banner — has run Car No. 19 in GT500 across multiple seasons, with WedsSport wheel branding a constant on the bodywork. Yuji Kunimoto has been the team's cornerstone driver for years, his experience accumulated across Toyota's GT500 programme. Sena Sakaguchi joined as co-driver for the 2025 campaign, marking the continuation of Toyota's structured driver development pipeline. The combination of a seasoned front-runner and an emerging factory talent gives this particular season entry added significance for collectors tracking the evolution of the Toyota GT500 roster.

In the Display Cabinet: Where No. 19 Belongs
The No. 19 WedsSport Bandoh GR Supra GT500 sits naturally alongside other Toyota GT500 entries from the 2025 Super GT season — the No. 36 au TOM'S and No. 37 KeePer TOM'S cars being the obvious companions. Collectors focused on the WedsSport Bandoh lineage will want to pair it with prior-season Spark releases of the same entry. Those drawn to the broader GR Supra GT500 story will find it anchors a display tracing the model's evolution from its 2020 introduction through the current generation, representing one of the most recognisable liveries on the Japanese GT500 grid.
