GTA Co. Ltd. and Haro Sports & Entertainment. Sdn. Bhd. has officially announced the postponement of the “2026 AUTOBACS SUPER GT Round 3 Malaysia GT 300km Race driven by TOYOTA GAZOO RACING”.
The decision comes after carefully looking at the current global situation, particularly the growing uncertainty in the Middle East, which has created many operational and logistical difficulties. Since the Malaysian round is the only event outside of Japan on the Super GT calendar, these issues have greatly affected the planning and organization of the event.
Moreover, there has been a significant rise in international shipping costs and air travel prices, making it harder to hold the event to the high standards expected by the championship, its supporters, and fans.
“Firstly, our prayers are with all those impacted by the current crisis in the Middle East. We pray for a peaceful and amicable resolution.” said HARO Sports & Entertainment Managing Partner Fahrizal Hassan and GTA President, CEO Masaaki Bandoh.
“While this was not what we envisioned for the second year running of the Malaysian round, we would like to thank GTA, the teams and all valued stakeholders – our partners, sponsors, the media and especially all fans – for their strong support and understanding in these challenging times. The race will be back in Malaysia, and when it does, we are committed to making it twice as exciting!” said HARO Sports & Entertainment Managing Partner Fahrizal Hassan.
“We would like to thank HARO Sports & Entertainment and everyone involved in Malaysia for their efforts in preparing for the event. This was a difficult decision to make, but we would like to thank our Japanese fans, entrants, sponsors, and media for their understanding. We will continue to build a cooperative relationship with HARO Sports & Entertainment and everyone in Malaysia so that Malaysian fans can once again enjoy an exciting SUPER GT.” said GTA President, CEO Masaaki Banboh.
The postponement is temporary, and both GTA and HARO Sports reaffirm their commitment to bringing SUPER GT back to Malaysia when conditions allow for a safe, stable, and high-quality event. Any further updates will be communicated in due course via official channels.
