The 2020 season was packed with drama, culminating in an unforgettable season finale at Fuji Speedway - where Team Kunimitsu Honda drivers Naoki Yamamoto and Tadasuke Makino stole the title from under the noses of Ryo Hirakawa and the TOM'S Toyota team exiting the final corner of the final lap.
Hirakawa will be hungry for revenge in 2021, but he is without new regular teammate Sacha Fenestraz for the opening race at Okayama. Yamamoto likewise faces going into the new season without Makino by his side, creating yet more unknowns as SUPER GT heads back to a track that did not feature on last year's calendar for the first time in two years.
Nissan will also be looking to get back in the thick of the title fight as the marque seeks to end its longest-ever losing streak in the top GT500 category.
In the GT300 ranks, Nissan team Kondo Racing will be seeking to defend the title earned last year by Joao Paulo de Oliveira in Kiyoto Fujinami against some seriously tough opposition.
Three teams running the Toyota GR Supra GT300 that scored two wins in its debut season last year are expected to be in the thick of the action, while the works-backed Subaru team will be aiming to make a splash with its all-new second-generation BRZ after a strong run in 2020.
FIA GT3 cars from famous brands such as Mercedes, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and BMW will also be in action in one of the most varied and diverse categories in the world.
