SUPER GT: Honda star Naoki Yamamoto finally leaves hospital
After a serious incident at the final corner of the Sugo race, Yamamoto was unable to compete in the last two races of the 2023 season due to injuries sustained. Initially cleared of any serious harm, further medical evaluation revealed an atlantoaxial subluxation and spinal cord damage. This forced him to miss the final two rounds of the season, as well as the Super Formula finale. However, Yamamoto announced on his Instagram page that he has been discharged from the hospital after a successful operation and expressed his gratitude to the doctors, his family, and his fans for their support. It is hoped that he will be able to return for the 2024 season, most likely continuing as part of Team Kunimitsu Honda alongside Tadasuke Makino. The state of Yamamoto’s Super Formula team, Nakajima Racing, is yet to be determined, with no confirmed lineup for the 2024 season.
