Picking up where the road car left a racing version of the Garaiya was developed.
It was run by ARTA (famous for their NSX GT500s) in the GT300 class. Initially powered by a Nissan 4 cylinder engine, it was deemed underpowered and replaced by a 6 cylinder VQ series engine.
They had several class wins in 2004 and 2005, but never actually won the class title.
