Motorsport enthusiasts across Southeast Asia are in for a historic weekend as one of Japan’s most prestigious racing championships makes a highly anticipated return to Malaysian soil. After a 12-year hiatus, the 2025 SUPER GT series will stage Round 3 of its season at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit from June 26 to 28, marking its only international stop and the first Malaysian appearance since 2019.
This landmark occasion will be accompanied by the SUPER GT Malaysia Festival 2025, a dynamic three-day event blending the thrill of high-performance racing with automotive showcases, cultural experiences, and entertainment for all ages.

The Malaysian leg will also feature two wildcard entries, showcasing local drivers Jazeman Jaafar and Adrian D’Silva, and bringing a proud national presence to the international stage.
Adding to the weekend’s motorsport spectacle is the Malaysian debut of the GR86 Cup, a one-make racing series showcasing Toyota’s lightweight performance coupe. Fans can also enjoy action from the Vios Challenge, further expanding the motorsport lineup.
