In the GT300 class, JLOC, Takashi Kogure and Yuya Motojima won the Teams' and Drivers' Championship which were their first maiden title in the series.

Regulation changes

The GTA confirmed several changes for the 2024 Super GT season. [3]

Aggregate qualifying format

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

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

Other changes

Beginning in 2024, GT300 teams will use 50 percent renewable carbon-neutral synthetic fuel supplied by ETS Racing Fuels. [5] [6]

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. [3] [7]

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). [3]

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. [8]
