Gallery: Super GT gears up for action at Fuji

This weekend's 300km race, the first of four at Fuji planned for 2020, marks the start of a campaign that was put on hold for three months owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As with most other categories of motorsport worldwide, the first race will be held behind closed doors with no fans present, while the 2,000-odd people working in the paddock have been subject to strict health controls, including temperature checks on arrival at the track.

A total of 44 cars, 15 in the top GT500 class and 29 in the GT300 division, are set to take part in the Fuji event, which has a compressed schedule (click here for details).

One last-minute change to the entry list is that Kei Cozzolino, a regular in the FIA World Endurance Championship, is replacing the absent Nicki Thiim in the #9 D'station Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 alongside Tomonobu Fujii.

A number of other international drivers, most notably SARD Toyota man Heikki Kovalainen, have also been unable to make it to Fuji due to travel restrictions.
