The season opener on March 22, was moved to [Okayama](/source/Okayama_International_Circuit), due to the continued renovation of [Suzuka](/source/Suzuka_Circuit) in preparation for the [2009 Japanese Grand Prix](/source/2009_Japanese_Grand_Prix). The season finale on November 8 also was moved to [Motegi](/source/Twin_Ring_Motegi), instead of [Fuji](/source/Fuji_Speedway). Due to the worldwide economic crisis, race weekends were two days instead of three. [André Lotterer](/source/Andr%C3%A9_Lotterer) and [Juichi Wakisaka](/source/Juichi_Wakisaka) claimed the GT500 title in the [Petronas](/source/Petronas) [TOM'S](/source/TOM'S) [Lexus SC430](/source/Lexus_SC430). The team also won their respective teams title. [Manabu Orido](/source/Manabu_Orido) and [Tatsuya Kataoka](/source/Tatsuya_Kataoka) won the GT300 title in the [Racing Project Bandoh](/source/Racing_Project_Bandoh) [IS350](/source/Lexus_IS350) by three points from [Nobuteru Taniguchi](/source/Nobuteru_Taniguchi) and [Ryo Orime](/source/Ryo_Orime). ## Car development ### GT500 class Originally the three makers agreed to unify engine specification to 3.4L V8 engines (the same configuration of [Formula Nippon](/source/Formula_Nippon) at the time). However, due to the aforementioned economic crisis, Nissan encountered difficulties to develop a suitable engine for their [GT-R](/source/Nissan_GT-R), and chose to bear a performance ballast while using the same engine as last year. Honda continued to use their mid-engine NSX with performance ballast as the regulations originally planned to mandate front-engine cars. This was also their last year in Super GT with the original NSX, as they announced they would use a new vehicle (the [HSV-010](/source/Honda_HSV-010_GT)) starting in the 2010 season. Honda returned with the NSX in 2014 following the unveiling of the second-generation concept car in 2014, later revised to be based on the production model in 2017; both of which ran midship engine layout until 2019 season. Team Nova entered the series with a Le Mans spec [Aston Martin DBR9](/source/Aston_Martin_DBR9). It was the first Aston Martin car to participate the series history (including JGTC), and also the first European and non-Honda/Nissan/Toyota car in GT500 since the 2006 season (a [Maserati MC12](/source/Maserati_MC12) did participate the pre-season test in 2006 season but withdraw from the series later). The DBR9 only ran at the first round at [Okayama](/source/Okayama_International_Circuit) and the two rounds at [Fuji](/source/Fuji_Speedway), and as of July 2020 is the last non-Japanese car to compete in GT500. ### GT300 class The apr Racing Team, which had used the [Toyota MR-S](/source/Toyota_MR-S) for a long time decided to discontinue their use of MR-S, and for this season decided to replace it with a mid-engined [Toyota Corolla Axio](/source/Toyota_Corolla_Axio) instead. The Cusco, the only team using an AWD car ([Subaru Impreza](/source/Subaru_Impreza_WRX_STI)), left the series as they wanted to concentrate on off-road events. However, Subaru cars were not absent from the series as [R&D Sport](/source/R%26D_Sport) used a [Legacy B4](/source/Subaru_Legacy) for round 6, 7 and 9. Thunder Asia Racing, a team from Singapore, entered round 4 at Sepang with a [Mosler MT900R](/source/Mosler_MT900R). Their full participation in 2010 season was confirmed after the 2009 season ended. ### Weight ballast changes In order to combat [sandbagging](/source/Sandbagging_(racing)), where a team would intentionally perform poorly in order to secure a more favorable weight handicap, the success ballast formula was changed starting from this season: the ballast would be halved in the penultimate race and lifted altogether in final race for teams that participated in every round of the season. Teams missing only one round receive halved-ballast in the final race instead. ## Drivers and teams ### GT500 Team Make Car Engine No. Drivers Tyre Rounds Nismo Nissan Nissan GT-R GT500 Nissan VK45DE 4.5 L V8 1 Satoshi Motoyama B All Benoît Tréluyer 1–5, 7–9 Michael Krumm 6 Hasemi Motorsport Nissan Nissan GT-R GT500 Nissan VK45DE 4.5 L V8 3 Ronnie Quintarelli M All Hironobu Yasuda All Lexus Team LeMans ENEOS Lexus Lexus SC430 GT500 Lexus RV8 kg 3.4 L V8 6 Daisuke Ito B All Björn Wirdheim All Autobacs Racing Team Aguri Honda Honda NSX GT500 Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 8 Ralph Firman B All Takuya Izawa All Team Impul Nissan Nissan GT-R GT500 Nissan VK45DE 4.5 L V8 12 Tsugio Matsuda B All Sébastien Philippe All Keihin Real Racing Honda Honda NSX GT500 Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 17 Toshihiro Kaneishi B All Koudai Tsukakoshi All Katsutomo Kaneishi 6 Team Yoshiki and Dome Project Honda Honda NSX GT500 Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 18 Ryō Michigami B All Takashi Kogure All Team Nova Aston Martin Aston Martin DBR9 Aston Martin AM04 6.0 L V12 21 Akihiro Tsuzuki Y 1, 3, 7 Takeshi Tsuchiya 1, 3, 7 Kondo Racing Nissan Nissan GT-R GT500 Nissan VK45DE 4.5 L V8 24 João Paulo de Oliveira Y All Seiji Ara All Nakajima Racing Honda Honda NSX GT500 Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 32 Loïc Duval D All Yuhki Nakayama All Lexus Team Kraft Lexus Lexus SC430 GT500 Lexus RV8 kg 3.4 L V8 35 Hiroaki Ishiura B All Kazuya Oshima All Lexus Team Petronas TOM'S Lexus Lexus SC430 GT500 Lexus RV8 kg 3.4 L V8 36 Juichi Wakisaka B All André Lotterer All Lexus Team ZENT Cerumo Lexus Lexus SC430 GT500 Lexus RV8 kg 3.4 L V8 38 Yuji Tachikawa B All Richard Lyons All Lexus Team SARD Lexus Lexus SC430 GT500 Lexus RV8 kg 3.4 L V8 39 Kohei Hirate D All André Couto All Team Kunimitsu Honda Honda NSX GT500 Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 100 Yuji Ide B All Shinya Hosokawa 1–2, 4–7, 9 Kosuke Matsuura 3, 8 ### GT300 Team Make Car Engine No. Drivers Tyre Rounds Cars Tokai Dream28 Mooncraft Mooncraft Shiden Toyota 1UZ-FE 4.4 L V8 2 Hiroki Katoh Y All Kazuho Takahashi 1 Hiroki Yoshimoto 2–9 Avanzza Rosso Vemac Vemac RD320R Honda C32B 3.4 L V6 4 Yoshihiro Ito K 6 Subaru Yamamoto 6 Michito Uezumi 6 Yoshihiro Ito Y 9 Igor Sushko 9 666 Shogo Suho Y All Junichiro Yamashita All Takashi Miyamoto 3, 6 Team Mach Vemac Vemac RD320R Porsche M96/77 3.6 L F6 5 Tetsuji Tamanaka Y All Akazame Oyaji All M7 RE Amemiya Racing Mazda Mazda RX-7 Mazda RE20B 2.0 L 3-rotor 7 Nobuteru Taniguchi Y All Ryo Orime All Jim Gainer Racing Ferrari Ferrari 360 Ferrari F131B 3.6 L V8 10 Masayuki Ueda Y All Masataka Kawaguchi All Ferrari F430 Ferrari F136E 4.3 L V8 11 Tetsuya Tanaka All Katsuyuki Hiranaka All Racing Project Bandoh Lexus Lexus IS350 Lexus RV8J 3.4 L V8 19 Tatsuya Kataoka Y All Manabu Orido All Team Taisan Porsche Porsche 996 GT3-RS Porsche M96/77 3.6 L F6 26 Haruki Kurosawa Y 1–4, 6–7, 9 Tsubasa Abe 1–3, 5–9 Katsuhiko Tsutsui 4, 6, 8 Tsubasa Kurosawa 5 Team Takeuchi with Shift Lexus Lexus IS350 Lexus RV8J 3.4 L V8 30 Kota Sasaki K 1–3 Naoya Yamano 1–3 52 Kota Sasaki 4–9 Naoya Yamano 4–6 Yuhi Sekiguchi 6–9 apr Toyota Toyota Corolla Axio apr GT Toyota 2GR-FSE 3.5 L V6 31 Yuya Sakamoto Y All Hideki Yamauchi 1–4 Kyosuke Mineo 5–9 Takamori.com 6 74 Takuto Iguchi M All Yuji Kunimoto All Hankook KTR Porsche Porsche 997 GT3-RSR Porsche M97/80 3.8 L F6 33 Mitsuhiro Kinoshita H 3, 5, 7 Masami Kageyama 3, 5, 7 Autobacs Racing Team Aguri ASL ASL ARTA Garaiya Nissan VQ35DE 3.5 L V6 43 Morio Nitta M All Shinichi Takagi All MOLA Nissan Nissan Fairlady Z Nissan VQ35DE 3.5 L V6 46 Kazuki Hoshino Y All Masataka Yanagida All Tomei Sports Porsche Porsche 996 GT3-RSR Porsche M96/77 3.6 L F6 55 Yutaka Yamagishi Y 1–7, 9 Hiroshi Koizumi 1–7, 9 R&D Sport Subaru Subaru Legacy B4 Subaru EJ20 2.0 L Turbo F4 62 Shogo Mitsuyama Y 6–7, 9 Tetsuya Yamano 6–7, 9 JLOC Lamborghini Lamborghini Murcielago RG-1 Lamborghini L535 6.0 L V12 66 Koji Yamanishi Y All Atsushi Yogo All Marco Apicella 3 Lamborghini Gallardo RG-3 Lamborghini 07L1 5.2 L V10 87 Hiroyuki Iiri All Hisashi Wada All 88 Hideshi Matsuda All Yuya Sakamoto All Thunder Asia Racing Mosler Mosler MT900R GM LS7 7.0 L V8 69 Melvin Choo Y 4 Martin Short 4 Team Daishin Ferrari Ferrari F430 Ferrari F136E 4.3 L V8 81 Takayuki Aoki Y All Tomonobu Fujii All Koji Matsuda 6 Arktech Motorsports Porsche Porsche Boxster Porsche M96/77 3.6 L F6 110 Kim Han Bong K 1–3 Daisuke Ikeda 1, 8 Tatsuya Tanigawa 2–3, 5, 8 Takashi Ohi 5 Porsche 996 GT3-RSR Porsche M96/73 3.6 L F6 111 Takaya Tsubobayashi 1–3 Igor Sushko 1 Daisuke Ikeda 2–4 Tojiro Azuma 4 112 Takashi Ohi 7, 9 Yoshiaki Nakayama 7 Keita Sawa 8–9 Aaron Caratti 8 Studie GLAD Racing BMW BMW Z4M BMW S62B50 4.9 L V8 808 Shozo Tagahara Y 1–3, 5–9 Yasushi Kikuchi 1–3, 5–7 Taku Bamba 6, 8–9 ##

This included the trimming of the traditional [1000km race in Suzuka](/source/Suzuka_1000km) to 700 km. However, to avoid 1-pit strategy that caused unfairness to some teams, teams were required to pit twice in the Fuji 400 km race. ## Season Winners Rd Circuit GT500 Winning Team GT300 Winning Team Results GT500 Winning Drivers GT300 Winning Drivers 1 Okayama #24 HIS Kondo Racing GT-R #19 WedsSport IS350 Results João Paulo de Oliveira Seiji Ara Manabu Orido Tatsuya Kataoka 2 Suzuka #38 ZENT Cerumo SC430 #33 Hankook Porsche Results Yuji Tachikawa Richard Lyons Mitsuhiro Kinoshita Masami Kageyama 3 Mt.
