2019 Super GT Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by IMSA E320 (talk | contribs) at 22:59, 13 July 2020 (GT500: Number Order.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Jenson Button (pictured in 2012) entered the season as defending champions alongside Naoki Yamamoto.

The 2019 Super GT Series was a motor racing championship based in Japan for grand touring cars. The series is sanctioned by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) and run by the GT Association (GTA). It was the twenty-seventh season of the Japan Automobile Federation Super GT Championship which includes the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) era and the fifteenth season the series has competed under the Super GT name. It was the thirty-seventh overall season of a national JAF sportscar championship dating back to the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. The season began on April 14 and ended on November 24, after 8 championship races & 2 non-championship races.

The 2019 championship saw the series form a partnership with the German-based Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, allowing entries to compete in both championships.[1]

Calendar changes

  • In light of the series' partnership with the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, two races will be made featuring both cars, the first will be the DTM season finale at Hockenheimring, where some Super GT cars were invited to race[2], the second will be the Super GT x DTM Dream Race, a non-championship joint race featuring Super GT's GT500 cars and the DTM's competitors, will be held at Fuji after the end of the season. A balance of performance formula will be applied to ensure parity between DTM cars and Super GT as Super GT will not adopt Class One regulations until 2020.[3][4]
  • The auto sport Web Sprint Cup, a non-championship race for GT300 competitors, will also be held at Fuji as a supporting event of the Super GT x DTM Dream Race.
  • The Autopolis GT 300km Race moved forward in the calendar to September 8, and will be the sixth round of the season. The Sugo round now becomes the penultimate round of the season.
  • The final round at Motegi has been moved forward a week to avoid a clash with the FIA World Endurance Championship and Super Taikyu Series.[5]
