And here's the 2022 Super GT season calendar.

Round 1: Okayama - April 17
Round 2: Fuji 500km - May 4
Round 3: Suzuka - May 29
Round 4: Fuji 500 Miles - August 7
Round 5: Suzuka Timed Event - August 28
Round 6: Sugo - September 18
Round 7: Autopolis - October 2
Round 8: Motegi - November 6

First three rounds are in April and May, followed by a 2 month break.
Round 5 is a timed event, probably an endurance race.
There is an one-month break between the last two rounds.

After 13 seasons, Katsuyuki Hiranaka announced he departs from Team GAINER. So there are 2 empty seats at Gainer as the team will continue to race 2 cars.

There is a possibility Baguette will be racing at Super GT GT500 again next year, but this time with different manufacturer after ended his tenure as Honda driver (not just in Super GT). He still has the goal to be Super GT champion.

A new car (looks like GT300 Toyota 86) will replace #30 apr Prius PHV in 2022. #31 car is going to race again. https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/766146
Lots of Toyotas in GT300: apr-Supra, Tsuchiya-Supra, apr-Prius, apr-new model.

I think the APR new model is the GR 86. I really hope Subaru expand and make the BRZ available to customers. Itll be interesting to see if the GR 86/BRZ use like engines or if the GR will try the V8.

Yes #30 will be using GR86 on JAF-GT spec. For BRZ GT300, no any plans yet about expanding into small customer programs. Looks like Subaru focused on winning the title first.

2UR-based 5400cc V8 engine will be sensible for new GR86 GT300, just like on GR Supra, Prius & RC F GT3. No need to do R&D for new engine.

Nissan Z GT500 revealed.


Here's the gallery of new Z GT500.
https://www.as-web.jp/supergt/766931

Also, Nissan decided to just use "Z" name for the GT500 car, not "Fairlady Z" like before, for the sake of global appeal instead of just being domestic "Fairlady Z".

it's just my personal taste but I always disliked Z bodyshape...
I've always had the suspect nissan wanted to release a japanese 911-like, which basically killed Z identity even before being introduced (speaking of models starting from early '00 350Z). But yeah at the end is just aesthetic bodywork, nissan main issues and deficit on pre-chamber ignition know how compared to honda and toyota will remain.

Instead of promoting useless FE they could have stepped into Super Formula to strengthen their racing constructors' department. Looks like dealing with Renault and European PR targeted onto dull advertising rather then on R&D suits them well, unfortunately.

To race in SF won't help that much nissan since cars are powered by the same NRE engine used in GT500, the know how they could get from SF is basically nothing compared to what toyota and honda learned in last 5-6 years from lmp1-h and f1.
Am of the idea that renault doesn't share their f1 derivated technologies with nissan.
About FE, I'm not sure is that useless, considering that nissan was the only one to introduce an innovative twin electric engines as powertrain a couple of season ago before that concept was banned, but at the same time I'm not even 100% sure it was something really and actually done by nissan since FE team is always e-dams that just changed name and livery switching from yellow/blue renault to red/black nissan.

Recall last year japanese-samurai posted a technical sheet that revealed nissan GT500 cars had the longest refuel average time, basically meaning nissan NRE engine consumed more fuel and probably can't even match toyota and honda power due worse efficiency.

At least they would have had more track time to get some data. Better than none at all.

According to BOB Suzuki blog:

Team Studie are looking for the main sponsor for next season due to the request from them its to produced the good results.

In this case , they need to create the new structure for the next season.

I can take as they want get win GT300 title with M4 GT3 then or at least top 5. I think will be hard for them if they not JAF-GT or JAF-MC cars as per Team Tsuchiya explain back then and now JP talk about it too, political BoP in GT300 are nasty idk if lot team will try to GTWC Asia next year or not.

I don't think Team Studie is on the position for winning the championship title with current driver lineup. These days, to be successful on taking GT300 title, you need all pro drivers which can produce consistent result.

But I think they still can win a race with M4 GT3. And they need to do it on first year, because the car may be nerfed down by BOP once GTA know the car has "unfair advantage".

Hi everyone, I have to say that the 2021 Super GT season finale is the most chaotic and memorable experience. Still, I'm hoping that JAF/GTA will find a suitable platform for streaming their races outside Japan.

Now then, Pacific Racing Team will be sponsored by Hololive Productions for 2022 Super GT season.
