Autobacs Super GT 2025 Series Round 7

Autopolis is the second-to-last stop for the Autobacs Super GT 2025 Series, featuring a challenging three-hour race.

Long before the race, the Super GT organizers announced that starting in the 2027 season, a one-make tire system would be implemented. This means that all Super GT competitors will use tires from the official tire supplier, marking the end of the ability for competitors to choose their tire manufacturers. It's a difficult decision, but the Super GT organizers are looking into it.

Anyway, the race...
