Started in 1994, the Japan GT Championship Series (JGTC) is the most popular category in Japan’s motorsports world. The circuits that host the races are spread out to 6 places in Japan and cover all the fans across the country.
Moreover, "JAPAN GT RACE MALAYSIAN ROUND", which was held for two consecutive years in Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia from 2000, was be held as one round of the championship series from the year of 2002. It is the first time in the history that one round of the championship series be held outside of Japan, and great development in the Asian area in future is greatly expected.
The core of the fans who come to these circuits consists of people in their twenties and thirties, who are the main power of consumer activities. Also, spectators are not only from their early twenties as seen in the regular racing events but are from middle aged groups, families, and female fans.
Why is "GT race" highly supported by fans?
The reasons are: "It is the race that consists of familiar cars, which are the sports cars that people admire.", "Many first-class drivers from Japan and foreign countries are participating.", "Every event develops an intense battle.", and "More than 100 race queens add luster to the events.". Along with that, the events, promotions, and advertising activities put priorities in the satisfaction of the fans and sponsors.
Since the Japan GT Championship race is the biggest series in Japan, our country Malaysia has not missed the opportunity in becoming the host of such an event, promoting our country to the world as an international motorsports destination and at the same time, boosting the tourism sector.
We once again hopes to carry out another successful race event and withstand its goal to be "The number 1 race event in Asia".
