Calendar
The provisional calendar for 2025 was confirmed on 1 August 2024, which consisted of eight races.[1] Super GT confirmed that Petronas Sepang International Circuit would return to the calendar for the first time since 2013, hosting the third round of the championship on 27–28 June.[2] This would be the first Super GT race held outside of Japan since 2019, when the series last visited Chang International Circuit in Thailand.
On 14 May, Fuji Speedway announced a new three-race sprint format for its August date.[3] The first race, held on 2 August, would be a 160 kilometer (35 lap) multi-class race. The second and third races, held on 3 August, would be single-class, 50-minute sprint races – the first time ever that GT500 and GT300 cars would race separately in a championship round. Only one of the team's two entered drivers could participate on either day.[4][5]
All other rounds would run the regular 300 kilometer format except for the Golden Week race at Fuji, and the penultimate round at Autopolis, which would continue to run the three-hour, long-distance format introduced in 2024.[6]

Regulation changes
The GTA confirmed several regulation changes for the 2025 Super GT season.[7][8]
- The series reverted to the two-part knockout qualifying format used from 2013 to 2023. The only change from 2023 was the number of cars that would participate in Q2. In GT500, the top 10 cars in Q1 would advance to Q2, instead of the top eight. In GT300, where the field is split into two groups for Q1, the top nine cars in each group advance to Q2, meaning that 18 cars would participate in Q2 (instead of 16).[a]
- The Fuji GT Sprint Race qualifying format consisted of a single 20-minute GT300 session and a 10-minute GT500 session, held each morning before the races on Saturday and Sunday.[9]
- The GT300 championship points system was changed, awarding 25 points to the first place team and drivers, 20 for second, 16 for third, then 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 for the top 15 cars. In addition, only the seven highest-scoring rounds counted towards the drivers' and teams' championships at the end of the season. This was to accommodate only 18 full-time GT300 teams being eligible to enter the Sepang round due to limited garage space.[10]
- In both classes, qualifying points reverted to awarding only one point to the pole-winning team and drivers.
- The GT300 success weight formula was changed, including the modification of refueling times as a form of success ballast. The nominal success weight limit was raised back to 100 kilograms (instead of 80 kg), but the maximum amount of physical ballast that could be loaded remained at 50 kg. Cars that attained more than 50 kg of nominal success weight would have to install a GTA-supplied refueling restrictor, the diameter of which would be announced in a pre-race bulletin.[12]
- From the second round onward, GT500 tire manufacturers that have not won a race during the season may bring in one extra set of dry tires per weekend. All teams must bring at least one set of heavy rain tires.
- During the reconnaissance lap, all cars must maintain a minimum speed of 80 kilometers per hour. From the formation lap until the start of the race, all cars must be within five car lengths of the car in front.
- Race control can now impose time penalties during a race for various infractions.
