The SUPER GT Series is Japan's premier Grand Touring (GT) championship contested by racing cars based on high-performance GT cars.
Cars
Two distinct classes race simultaneously in SUPER GT, each boasting its own regulations and competitors.
GT500
The pinnacle of automotive engineering, with manufacturers fielding purpose-built race cars. These machines are powered by turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four engines, generating over 500 horsepower.
GT300
A mixed category featuring a combination of homologated FIA GT3 cars and unique "GT300MC (Mother Chassis)" vehicles. While GT300 offers a slightly lower power output compared to GT500, it offers a broader spectrum of technology and strategy.
Tyre Technologies
As the exclusive tyre supplier for many SUPER GT teams since 1994, we showcase and refine our POTENZA series of tyres through this series.
Sustainability
SUPER GT has progressively introduced eco-friendly initiatives, such as the use of carbon-neutral fuels and fewer sets of tyres used per race, while continuing to preserve the excitement of racing.
FAST FACTS
8 ROUNDS, 1 CHAMPION
A SUPER GT season typically consists of 8 rounds held across iconic circuits in Japan, with occasional international races.
WINNING AS A TEAM
SUPER GT is a two or three-driver format, requiring teams to execute seamless driver changes during pit stops.
SUCCESS WEIGHT SYSTEM
Superior cars that win are ballasted in future races with the Success Weight System, in order to ensure fair competition between teams.
