2024 Super GT Series

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Autobacs 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 thirty-second season of the JAF Super GT Championship, which includes the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship era, and the twentieth season under the Super GT name. It is also the forty-second overall season of a national JAF sportscar championship dating back to the All Japan Endurance/Sports Prototype Championship.

TGR Team au TOM'S and driver Sho Tsuboi entered the season as the defending champions of the GT500 class. Saitama Green Brave, formerly known as Saitama Toyopet Green Brave, and driver Hiroki Yoshida entered as the defending GT300 class champions.[1]

Regulation changes

[edit]

The GTA confirmed several changes for the 2024 Super GT season.[2]

Aggregate qualifying format

[edit]

Super GT introduced a new aggregate qualifying system on 9 February, replacing the knockout format which had been used since 2013.

  • Under the new format, the grids in GT500 and GT300 will be determined by the combined Q1 and Q2 times of each team's two nominated drivers.
  • Each team is only allowed to use one set of tyres throughout Q1 and Q2, and must start the race on the same set of tyres.
  • Teams that don't participate in qualifying, fail to set a time in both qualifying sessions, or fail to meet the 107% minimum time after Q2 will have to start the race from the pits.
  • Points will now be awarded to the top three qualifiers in each class. The pole-winning team and drivers now earn three points, while second place earns two points and third place earns one point.
  • Pole position will be credited to both drivers on the pole-winning team that run in qualifying.[3]

On 12 March, a follow-up bulletin would detail the changes made to GT300 qualifying:

  • Similar to recent years, the GT300 field would be split into two groups for Q1 based on the most recent Teams' Championship standings, with odd number-ranked teams in Group A and even number-ranked teams in Group B. A pre-event lottery would determine which group goes first in Q1.
  • After both Q1 groups have run, the cars would be regrouped for Q2. The top eight cars in each Q1 group will go into Q2 Group 1, and the cars that finished outside the top eight in each group would go into Q2 Group 2.
  • Once Group 2 and Group 1 have run, the final grid order will be determined based on these final groupings:
    • Positions 1-12: Top 12 combined times in Q2 Group 1.
    • Positions 13-20: Combined times of the top four in Q2 Group 2 and bottom four in Q2 Group 1.
    • Positions 21-27: Combined times of the remaining cars that finished fifth or lower in Q2 Group 2.
  • In the event of rain, the GT300 grid will be determined from Q2 times only.

Other changes

[edit]

Beginning in 2024, GT300 teams will use 50 percent renewable carbon-neutral synthetic fuel supplied by ETS Racing Fuels.[4][5]

Teams will only be allocated four sets of dry tyres for 300 kilometre races, down from five sets in 2023. Five sets of dry tyres will be available for 350 km events, and six sets of tyres will be available in three-hour timed events.[2][6]

GT300 success ballast has been reduced to a maximum of 100 kilogrammes to just 80 kg. GT300 teams will now receive two kilogrammes of Success Weight per drivers' championship point scored from rounds one through six. There is a limit of 50 points (100 kg).[2]

To reduce cornering speeds, the GTA implemented new technical directives in both class. In GT500, the minimum ride height has been raised by 5 millimetres by increasing the thickness of the skid block. In GT300, all cars will carry a predetermined amount of additional ballast weight, between 33 and 52 kg. This additional weight is distinct from the weight assigned to each car as part of the balance of performance.[7]
