Helm's Nissan GT-R en route to Fuji victory in 2022
Motegi-based outfit Helm is set to be one of eight teams vying for glory at Fuji in the top ST-X class for FIA GT3 machinery, and one of three squads using the Nissan GT-R alongside GTNET Motor Sports and top-class newcomers 5Zigen. In 2019 he switched to Kondo Racing before being dropped for 2021 to make way for Nissan to sign Nobuharu Matsushita. He initially combined Japanese Formula 3 and a campaign in SUPER GT’s lower GT300 class before stepping up to the marque’s GT500 stable for 2017 with Team Impul, with which he also contested a season of Super Formula that year. Mardenborough has been openly targeting a return to the Japanese scene, where he spent five seasons as part of his decade-long association with Nissan.

“It has been an incredible journey so far, and I also hope that my story being brought to life on the big screen with the Gran Turismo movie will inspire others to chase their dreams.”
“I want to thank Yuya and Reiji Hiraki for this opportunity and I look forward to working with the team to achieve great results. “I am honoured and excited to join Helm Motorsports for the Super Taikyu Fuji 24 Hours,” said Mardenborough. The 31-year-old spent most of last year lending his assistance to the production of the film, which is due for release in August, while working on his own racing comeback and undertaking Formula E simulator duties. The announcement follows the release of the trailer for the forthcoming Gran Turismo movie, the plot of which is based on Mardenborough’s rise to stardom via the Nissan GT Academy competition in 2011.
