Super GT brought its 2026 campaign to a close at Mobility Resort Motegi with Rounds 3 and 8 held across a double-header weekend. Round 3, originally scheduled for Sepang in June, was cancelled due to the Middle East war and rising fuel costs. An additional race was therefore added to the final Motegi round, creating a Saturday and Sunday programme for both GT500 and GT300.
In GT500, Saturday's Round 3 qualifying was led by the #64 Modulo Nakajima Racing pairing of Riki Okusa and Igor Omura Fraga, ahead of the #16 ARTA MUGEN and #14 TGR TEAM ENEOS ROOKIE. However, the race victory went to the #12 TEAM IMPUL entry of Kazuki Hiramine and Bertrand Baguette. Okusa and Omura Fraga finished second, while the #8 Team HRC ARTA MUGEN crew of Kakunoshin Ohta and Hiroki Otsu completed the podium.
Sunday's Round 8 saw the #100 STANLEY TEAM KUNIMITSU crew of Naoki Yamamoto and Tadasuke Makino take control. After securing pole position, the pair converted it into victory. The #17 Astemo REAL RACING entry of Koudai Tsukakoshi and Yuto Nomura finished second, with Saturday's winners Hiramine and Baguette taking third for TEAM IMPUL. Modulo Nakajima Racing completed the top three in qualifying.
The GT300 class produced two different winners across the weekend. In Round 3, the #11 GAINER pairing of Ryuichiro Tomita and Kazuki Oki took pole position, but the #96 K-tunes Racing crew of Morio Nitta and Shinichi Takagi converted second on the grid into victory. The #666 seven x seven Racing entry of Sven Muller and Taichi Watarai finished second, while the #88 JLOC pairing of Takashi Kogure and Daniil Kvyat took third.
JLOC returned stronger on Sunday. Kogure and Kvyat secured pole position for Round 8 before converting it into victory, completing a clean sweep of the qualifying and race sessions. Muller and Watarai repeated their second-place finish for seven x seven Racing, while GAINER's Tomita and Oki completed the podium in third after starting second.
The double-header at Motegi brought the season to a close with four different race-winning combinations across GT500 and GT300. The #100 STANLEY Team Kunimitsu and #56 KONDO RACING, driven by Joao Paulo de Oliveira and Iori Kimura, took the championship in their respective classes.
