Following yesterday\u2019s reveal of new and revised sporting regulations<\/a>, today the Autobacs SUPER GT Series has announced its event formats for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The only significant change is one that has been expected for some time, that the summer race at Fuji Speedway on 1\u20132 August will drop the double-header sprint format and revert to the standard 300 kilometre feature that will be run at six of the eight rounds this season.<\/p>\n

Though not poorly attended, the Fuji GT Sprint Race \u2013 which included SUPER GT\u2019s very first single-class championship races \u2013 did not bring the significant increase of spectators that the circuit and the GT Association (GTA) had hoped for.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the structure of the remaining rounds are the same. The races at Okayama International Circuit (11\u201312 April), Petronas Sepang International Circuit (20\u201321 June), Suzuka Circuit (22\u201323 August), Sportsland Sugo (19\u201320 September), and Mobility Resort Motegi (7\u20138 November) will continue as standard 300km events.<\/p>\n

Fuji Speedway\u2019s traditional Golden Week race (Sunday\/Monday, 3\u20134 May) as well as the penultimate round at Autopolis International Racing Course (17\u201318 October) will continue as three-hour long-distance races.<\/p>\n
