For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, Super GT is venturing beyond Japanese shores next year. The championship’s first-ever night race at Sepang in Malaysia, which should have taken place in 2020 only to be scuppered by the onset of the global health crisis, was part of the series’ 2025 calendar released at the start of this month.
You’ll struggle to find anyone in the Super GT paddock who isn’t excited about heading to Sepang. There were strong hints that the former Malaysian Grand Prix venue, the original ‘Tilkedrome’ (and still arguably the best), would be added to the calendar after GT500 manufacturer testing was held there back in January for the first time since the pandemic.
