Takeshi Kimura established CarGuy Racing in 2015 with an ambition to compete at a high level across global GT racing. From its outset the team developed partnerships with established racing operations, most notably Kessel Racing, which provided the infrastructure for its European Le Mans Series campaigns. Kimura himself frequently serves as a driver alongside professional co-drivers, making CarGuy Racing both an owner-operated team and a competitive GT outfit.
CarGuy Racing's first competitive outing came in 2016 at the Super Taikyu championship, where the team entered a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 driven by Kimura, Manabu Orido, and Malaysian driver Afiq Yazid. The team achieved a third-place finish on debut. The following year CarGuy moved to the Super Car Race championship and also appeared as a wildcard at the Blancpain GT Asia round at Fuji Speedway, where drivers Naoki Yokomizo and Kei Cozzolino secured an overall victory.
In 2018, CarGuy Racing entered the Super GT championship for the first time. The team was among the first to campaign the Honda NSX GT3 in the GT300 class, with Kimura and Cozzolino as primary drivers. The debut season yielded a best finish of 15th at the opening round at Okayama, with the team finishing 26th overall in the team standings. That same year CarGuy entered the Asian Le Mans Series with a Ferrari 488 GT3 driven by Kimura, Cozzolino, and British factory driver James Calado. The team dominated the GT class, winning all four rounds and securing the class title with 101 points — including a bonus point for pole position at their home circuit of Fuji Speedway.
Building on their Asian Le Mans success, CarGuy Racing qualified for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans in the GTE Am category, marking the team's debut at the most prestigious endurance event in the world. The team continued its collaboration with Kessel Racing for European campaigns, fielding a Ferrari 488 GTE Evo in the LMGTE class of the European Le Mans Series alongside their GT300 activities.
For 2023, CarGuy Racing transitioned to the Ferrari 296 GT3 for GT World Challenge Asia competition, while continuing to campaign the Ferrari 488 in the Asian Le Mans Series and European Le Mans Series. The team also announced intentions to expand its programme in GT World Challenge Asia with the updated machinery.
CarGuy Racing's most dominant performance came in the 2018 Asian Le Mans Series GT class, where the team won every race and clinched the class championship. The 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans appearance marked a significant step for the team onto the global stage, competing under the LMGTE Am banner with Ferrari machinery prepared in collaboration with Kessel Racing. Across their campaigns the team has been a consistent presence in both the Asian and European endurance racing calendars.
CarGuy Racing represents the growing influence of Japanese private teams in international GT racing. The team's willingness to contest events from Super GT's domestic GT300 class to the 24 Hours of Le Mans reflects an ambitious programme that has positioned Takeshi Kimura and his team as notable participants across multiple continents. Their success in the Asian Le Mans Series GT class in their first full season in that championship remains the team's most significant competitive achievement.
