Grant Supaphongs is a Thai racing driver whose career on record comprises four starts in the Nürburgring 24 Hours between 2019 and 2023, all of them with Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Thailand. He holds an FIA Bronze categorisation, denoting an amateur or gentleman driver competing in endurance racing alongside professionals. His Racer Rating of 1,316 places him in the developing band; this reflects racing in a limited, specialised field rather than a progression through ranked competition.[1]
Supaphongs finished on the podium in all four of his Nürburgring starts and recorded two wins in the event. His overall average finishing position of 1.8 underscores this consistency at the front, though the small sample size and the specific nature of 24-hour endurance racing limit what can be inferred about his competitive standing. Across his shared races, he finished ahead of three drivers graded at Silver level (Manat Kulapalanont, Nattapong Hortongkum) and one at Bronze level (Suttipong Smittachartch) in a 2-1 record against each. More significantly, he twice beat Nattavude Charoensukhawatana, a semi-professional Bronze-graded driver rated 2,924, establishing a positive head-to-head record in their three meetings.[2]
Supaphongs retired after 2023. His record in the Nürburgring 24 Hours is his only documented racing history, and it belongs to the endurance and GT space rather than the single-seater or touring-car progression suggested by his Wikipedia background. The disparity between that biographical reference and his career on record remains unexplained.
