Round 3 of the 2016 SUPER GT series at Autopolis to be postponed

We wish to express our sincerest condolences to the victims of the '2016 Kumamoto Earthquake' and pray for the souls of the deceased.
We also pray for a rapid recovery for those who have suffered severe losses in this natural disaster.

Due to the present circumstances, consultations have been conducted with the organizers and related parties of the third round of the 2016 AUTOBACS SUPER GT series, the KYUSHU 300km Race scheduled for May 21 (Sat.) and 22 (Sun.) at Autopolis, and we now announce that the decision has been made to postpone the round and the support events (including the FIA-F4 races) out of concern for the surrounding environment and the safety of the spectators who planned to attend the event.

Concerning the plans going forward, the continuing after-quakes in the Kumamoto and Oita region make it necessary for us to keep a close watch on developments before a decision will be made about a future date for a possible holding of the Autopolis round. Announcements will be made when such a decision is reached. Until then we ask for your kind understanding.
