2024 Super Taikyu Series

The 2024 Eneos Super Taikyu Series Empowered by Bridgestone was the thirty-fourth season of the Super Taikyu endurance racing championship. It began on 20-21 April at Sportsland Sugo and finished on 17 November at Fuji Speedway.

This season marked the beginning of a new three-year contract with Bridgestone to be the series' official tyre supplier. Bridgestone had taken over the supply of tyres from Hankook during the 2023 season after a fire at the Hankook manufacturing plant in Daejeon, South Korea forced them to abandon its supply.[1]

Calendar

edit

The Super Taikyu Series announced its provisional 2024 calendar on 3 October 2023, with seven rounds held at Japan's six major motor racing circuits.[2] Sportsland Sugo hosted the opening round of the championship on 21 April, while the five-hour race at Suzuka Circuit was moved to late September. Fuji Speedway again hosted two rounds, including the series' showcase event, the Fuji SUPER TEC 24 Hours on 25-26 May, and the season finale on 17 November.
