Race calendar and results
All rounds were held in Japan and were part of the Super GT events. The Autopolis round, initially scheduled for May 22nd, has been cancelled in the aftermath of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes.[3] On July 1, it was finally decided that one of the cancelled races will be held at the fourth round at Fuji and the other at the season finale at Motegi, both rounds becoming triple-header rounds.[4]
