**Team Taisan** (チーム・タイサン, *Chīmu Taisan*; stylized as **Team TAISAN**) is a Japanese [auto racing](/source/Auto_racing) team founded in 1983 by [Yasutsune "Ricky" Chiba](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yasutsune_Chiba&action=edit&redlink=1) (3 April 1945 - 7 June 2024) and owned by the [Taisan Industrial Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taisan_Industrial_Company&action=edit&redlink=1).[1] Most active in the [Super GT Series](/source/Super_GT_Series), formerly known as the [All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship](/source/All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship) (JGTC), Taisan has been involved in all but one season from 1994 to 2018, taking a sabbatical in 2015. During that time they have won eight team championships and four drivers championships, representing manufacturers [Ferrari](/source/Ferrari), [Porsche](/source/Porsche), [Dodge](/source/Dodge), [Toyota](/source/Toyota), [Nissan](/source/Nissan), and [Audi](/source/Audi). Team Taisan has also participated in the [24 Hours of Le Mans](/source/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans), winning their class on their debut in [2000](/source/2000_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans). For nearly their entire career, Taisan has been sponsored by tire manufacturer [Yokohama Rubber Company](/source/Yokohama_Rubber_Company), often carrying the name of Yokohama's Advan brand.

## History

The Team Taisan Endless Porsche which won the 2012 GT300 Drivers and Teams Championships

The team was initially formed through [Nova Engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nova_Engineering&action=edit&redlink=1) [[ja](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8E%E3%83%90%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8B%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0)] and their efforts in the [All Japan Endurance Championship](/source/All-Japan_Sports_Prototype_Championship) and [Fuji Long Distance Series](/source/Fuji_Long_Distance_Series). Taisan operated one of the teams' [Porsche 962C](/source/Porsche_962C) with drivers [Kunimitsu Takahashi](/source/Kunimitsu_Takahashi) and [Kenji Takahashi](/source/Kenji_Takahashi_(racing_driver)). Kunimitsu went on to win the Endurance Championship three times from 1985 to 1987, while Nova Engineering won the team championships in the Fuji Long Distance Series those same years. Taisan expanded their program to include the [Japanese Touring Car Championship](/source/Japanese_Touring_Car_Championship) in 1989 with [BMW M3s](/source/BMW_M3), adding Briton [Will Hoy](/source/Will_Hoy) to the team in 1990. A [Group A](/source/Group_A) category [Nissan Skyline GT-R](/source/Nissan_Skyline_GT-R) was added to the team in [1991](/source/1991_Japanese_Touring_Car_Championship) for Kenji Takahashi and [Keiichi Tsuchiya](/source/Keiichi_Tsuchiya) while their BMWs continued in the lower JTC-2 category. Kunimitsu replaced Kenji in the Skyline for [1992](/source/1992_Japanese_Touring_Car_Championship) and [1993](/source/1993_Japanese_Touring_Car_Championship) before Kunimitsu and Tsuchiya left to form their own racing team and the JTCC eliminated the Group A cars from the series, leaving the team with a single [Super Touring](/source/Super_Touring) BMW for [Kazuo Mogi](/source/Kazuo_Mogi) in [1994](/source/1994_Japanese_Touring_Car_Championship).

Taisan returned to sports car racing in [1994](/source/1994_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship) in the new All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, the team participating with one of their former 962Cs and teamed alongside a [Ferrari F40](/source/Ferrari_F40). [Masahiko Kondo](/source/Masahiko_Kondo) and [Anthony Reid](/source/Anthony_Reid) won one race for the Porsche while [Tetsuya Ota](/source/Tetsuya_Ota) and [Oscar Larrauri](/source/Oscar_Larrauri) earned one victory in the Ferrari. A switch to a pair of [Porsche 911 GT2s](/source/Porsche_911_GT2) earned three GT1 victories in [1995](/source/1995_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship) and the teams championship for the GT1 category,[2] while the team also added a GT2 class campaign under the Team Taisan Jr. moniker for a [Porsche 964](/source/Porsche_964). Taisan Jr. became a dominant team in the rechristened GT300 class, winning the drivers and teams championships in [1996](/source/1996_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship), followed by second place in [1997](/source/1997_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship) and another championship in [1998](/source/1998_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship) while campaigning a new [Toyota MR2](/source/Toyota_MR2) in cooperation with [Tsuchiya Engineering](/source/Tsuchiya_Engineering).[2]

### Taisan International

Taisan's success led to the team being invited to participate in the [24 Hours of Le Mans](/source/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans) in [2000](/source/2000_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans) for the LMGT category. Their [Porsche 911 GT3-R](/source/Porsche_911_GT3), driven by [Hideo Fukuyama](/source/Hideo_Fukuyama), [Atsushi Yogo](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atsushi_Yogo&action=edit&redlink=1), and [Bruno Lambert](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bruno_Lambert&action=edit&redlink=1) won the category by a six-lap margin. Upon returning to Japan, Taisan began a streak of four consecutive GT300 team championships from [2000](/source/2000_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship)–[2003](/source/2003_All_Japan_Grand_Touring_Car_Championship), including a drivers championship with Fukuyama in 2000. Another Le Mans also earned the team a podium finish in their class for [2002](/source/2002_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans).[2] Taisan downsized to a single Porsche team from 2004 onward as the JGTC transitioned to the new Super GT Series; Taisan eventually joined with [Endless](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Endless_(company)&action=edit&redlink=1) for a joint program that earned them another drivers and teams championships in [2012](/source/2012_Super_GT_Series). The team expanded once again in 2013, retaining the Porsche in Super GT while joining the new [Asian Le Mans Series](/source/Asian_Le_Mans_Series) with a [Ferrari 458 Italia GT2](/source/Ferrari_458_Italia), winning the series championship and earning the team an automatic invitation to Le Mans, their first since [2006](/source/2006_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans).[2] A difficult 2014 season with a new [Nissan GT-R](/source/Nissan_GT-R) led Taisan to take a sabbatical year from Super GT,[3] returning in 2016 with an [Audi R8 LMS](/source/Audi_R8_LMS) in cooperation with [SARD](/source/SARD).

### Taisan Electric

Team Taisan also began to embrace [electric motorsport](/source/Electric_motorsport) by participating in the All Japan EV-GP Series in 2011 with [Tesla Roadsters](/source/Tesla_Roadster_(2008)) as well as a modified [Porsche 914](/source/Porsche_914), winning the 2011 championship. The team also began developing electric [karts](/source/Karting).[4] In 2018 Chiba announced an auction of many former Taisan racing cars dating back to the early 1990s, including several JGTC and Super GT machines.[2] Chiba also announced at the conclusion of the [2018 Super GT season](/source/2018_Super_GT_Series) that the team would cease participation in Super GT, instead concentrating solely on electric motorsports.[5]
