1000km Suzuka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1000km Suzuka is an annual 1000 kilometer endurance race for sports cars held at the Suzuka Circuit. It is a round of the Japanese Super GT championship.

The race was previously part of the World Sportscar Championship and later of the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship before that series went under. After that the race has become part of many different series including the Super Taikyu endurance series. In 2006, the race was integrated for the first time in the Super GT calendar. Previously, the race was open to JGTC/Super GT cars, but with only a handful of competitors from the Super GT entering.
