The 2019 Super GT Series is 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 is the twenty-sixth 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.

Calendar changes

  • In light of the series' partnership with the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, the series will share two rounds with the DTM championship. One is planned to be held in Europe and the other in Asia. 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.[2]
