Italy-born Ronnie Quintarelli, a true icon of Japanese motorsport, is set to retire from top-line racing, with his last Super GT round taking place at Suzuka next month. Quintarelli has been a crucial part of the Super GT series for nearly two decades, forming a strong bond with Nissan and becoming one of the all-time greats. His popularity among fans and Nissan management transcended his rapid on-track performances, leading many to believe he was Japanese. Quintarelli’s departure marks the end of an era, with his journey in Japan beginning unexpectedly in 2003 in Japanese Formula 3 and leading to success in Super GT and Formula Nippon championships. His transition to Nissan in 2008 proved to be a career-defining move, culminating in a record-breaking four Super GT titles and establishing him as a legend in Japanese motorsport.
