Autobacs Super GT 2023 Series Round 1

The Autobacs Super GT returns for the 2023 season with the opening round at Okayama where new and returning faces clash with each other amid inclement weather.

As the race started, a sudden weather change occurred and the rainy weather conditions triggered two full course yellows, a safety car, and a red flag stoppage due to a lightning strike.

As the season opener came to a premature end due to inclement weather, the currently leading #23 MOTUL AUTECH Z of Tsugio Matsuda and Ronnie Quintarelli was named the winner while the #18 UPGARAGE NSX GT3 wins the GT300 class for the first time in five years.

The next race of the Autobacs Super GT 2023 Series will be at Fuji Speedway this May 4th.
