HELM Motorsports won the championship in the series' GT3 category, known as ST-X, in its first year in the category with a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3.

Eneos became the series' title sponsor in a multi-year agreement announced before the start of the season. In the ST-Q class, Toyota and Subaru debuted versions of their new Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ sports cars, adapted to run on carbon-neutral fuel. Nissan also debuted a racing concept version of the new Nissan Z, which served as the prototype to the Nissan Z GT4.

Calendar

The Super Taikyu Series announced their 2022 calendar on 14 November 2021. [1] The calendar featured a seventh round at Suzuka Circuit on 27 November which served as the season finale. Suzuka would also host the opening round on 20 March, while the newly rechristened Mobility Resort Motegi had its date moved to September. The double-header round at Sportsland Sugo was moved from April to early July, in between the Fuji Super TEC 24 Hours and the Autopolis round.
