From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1000km Suzuka is an annual 1000 kilometer endurance race for sports cars held at the Suzuka Circuit. It is a round of the Japanese Super GT championship.

The race was previously part of the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship and later of the World Sportscar Championship before these series were cancelled.
