The No. 62 Team Helm Motorsports entry joins the 2025 Super GT GT300 field with one of the most experienced driver pairings in the class. Tsugio Matsuda brings a career defined by GT500 success at NISMO, while Teppei Natori arrives with a résumé that includes Formula 2 competition in Europe. Spark Model documents the combination in resin at 1:43, keeping pace with their comprehensive Super GT 2025 release schedule.
The GT-R NISMO GT3 is built on the R35 GT-R platform and developed by NISMO specifically for GT3 and GT300 class competition worldwide. The engine is a twin-turbocharged V6 derived from the VR38DETT, reconfigured to comply with Balance of Performance regulations. NISMO supplies the car to customer teams across multiple championships, and the R35-based GT3 specification has maintained a consistent presence in Super GT's GT300 class over multiple seasons.
Matsuda, Natori and the Helm Motorsports Campaign
Tsugio Matsuda is among the most decorated figures in Japanese domestic racing, with a record in Super GT and Super Formula that includes championship titles. In 2025 he lines up in the GT300 class alongside Teppei Natori, who built his early career in European single-seaters — Formula 2 among them — before returning to Japanese competition. Team Helm Motorsports campaigns the No. 62 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 through the full 2025 Super GT season, making this pairing one of the more attention-worthy in the GT300 field.
Spark Model's 1:43 Resin Replica
Spark Model produces this replica in resin — the standard material for their 1:43 racing car range — which permits faithful reproduction of complex aerodynamic surfaces and multi-layer livery graphics. The release follows Spark's established Super GT 2025 numbering convention and carries official licensing. Resin construction at this scale allows crisp detail on the GT3 bodywork: front splitter geometry, side sills and rear diffuser are all rendered without the compromises that die-cast tooling sometimes imposes at 1:43.
Placing No. 62 in the Display Cabinet
This model slots naturally into a full 2025 Super GT GT300 grid build — Spark's annual coverage of the championship makes that grid achievable car by car. It pairs well with earlier Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 GT300 entries from previous Super GT seasons, illustrating livery evolution across the R35 GT3 programme. For collectors tracking Tsugio Matsuda's career across GT500 and GT300, or following Teppei Natori from his European single-seater years into Japanese domestic racing, the No. 62 closes a meaningful gap in any driver-focused display.
