What’s the SUPER GT about?


It is a grand touring car series promoted by the GT-Association (GT-A) and officially authorized by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), it is also directly authorized by the FIA.

Originally, the annual race series featured races on world-renowned Japanese race tracks that include the Twin Ring Motegi, Fuji Speedway and Suzuka Circuit. Since year 2000 however, rounds have been hosted on tracks outside Japan including the Sepang International Circuit (Malaysia) and the California Speedway as an exhibition race. Races are held as a single long endurance race of 300km or greater, the 1000km Suzuka event being one such example.

There are two categories in the Super GT; GT500 and GT300, both are restricted to 500hp and 300hp respectively. Complying with the technical regulation of JAF, the cars are greatly modified from the originals. To keep the battle close through every lap of every race, technical regulations were established to maintain equilibrium among each car’s capability. With minimum weight and air restrictors that the cars must be fitted with, performance is strictly controlled to keep the field closer together.

In order to ensure maximum excitement, both of the GT500 and GT300 category are run at the same time although points are awarded separately for each category. Apart from sport cars, personal luxury cars such as the Lexus SC430 and BMW Z4, and small family cars such as Toyota Corolla Axio have also joined the series.
