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]
