Wing Hin Motorsports targets podium at 2026 Super Taikyu finale in Fuji Speedway

Wing Hin Motorsports is aiming for its best result at the seventh and final round of the 2026 Eneos Super Taikyu Series at Fuji Speedway this Sunday.

The Malaysian team will field Naquib Azlan, Amer Harris and Japanese driver Shuji Maeshima in the four-hour endurance race, driving the #338 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2.

Wing Hin currently sits seventh in the ST-Z class standings with 54 points, having finished in the top five in four of the six races so far.

Maiden podium at Sugo

During its debut season, the team recorded the following ST-Z class results:

  • Round 1, Motegi: Seventh.
  • Round 2, Suzuka: Fifth.
  • Round 3, Fuji 24 Hours: 11th.
  • Round 4, Sportsland Sugo: Second, securing the team’s maiden podium.
  • Round 5, Autopolis: Fifth.
  • Round 6, Okayama: Fourth.

According to Naquib, the first season has provided valuable experience in understanding GT4 machinery, including tyre management, car setup and adapting driving styles while competing against experienced factory teams.

The priority at Fuji is to finish the race while maximising the car’s potential to chase another podium.

Amer, 22, hopes the team can secure another podium or its first victory. He believes the result at Sugo demonstrates that they have the pace to challenge the frontrunners, despite facing experienced competitors, including SUPER GT GT300 and GT500 drivers.

Super Taikyu is Japan’s premier pro-am endurance racing series, featuring production-based cars in races lasting between four and 24 hours.

The team’s participation forms part of Wing Hin Motorsports’ expansion into regional motorsport and its efforts to develop young Malaysian drivers.

It also competes as the defending champion in Japan’s Toyota GAZOO Racing GR86/BRZ Cup Clubman Series, alongside its participation in the Thailand Super Series.

Young racers Naquib Azlan and Amer Harris, representing the Wing Hin Motorsports team, have successfully secured second place in the GT4 class at the Thailand Super Series race, despite making their debut appearance in the series.

The Toyota GR Supra GT4 car used in the race was among the fastest among the four GR Supra GT4s.

The racing duo, Naquib and Amer, managed to complete the one-hour race just 4.5 seconds behind the champion Mercedes-AMG GT, defeating two Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport cars.

According to Naquib, “achieving second place is still a strong decision for both of us and the team. There is still a lot of potential to be explored in this new car, but we are happy to establish a good starting point and successfully secure a podium position in our homeland, Malaysia.

“Our goal is to reach the top position, and we are eager to progress towards it gradually.

Of the two races scheduled for round 3 at the PETRONAS International Circuit at Sepang, one had to be canceled due to extreme wet weather conditions.

Round 4 of the Thailand Super Series will be held in Malaysia on September 6-8, with three races scheduled for that weekend.

According to the Wing Hin Motorsports Team Principal, William Loh, “this is our first race and there is still plenty of room for improvement, as well as data that can be collected and evaluated.

“Both of our racers believe they can deliver better performances. We hope to come back stronger in the next three races.

Wing Hin Motorsports, which has previously won the Sepang 1000KM Endurance Race, also competes in the Super Compact class of the Thailand Super Series.

The transition to the GT4 racing class not only aligns with the goal of competing at a higher level but also helps to develop and provide opportunities for young Malaysian racers to shine on the international stage.
