2010 Super GT Series

2010 Super GT Series season
Previous: 2009 Next: 2011
The No. 18 Weider Honda Racing Honda HSV-010 GT of Takashi Kogure and Loïc Duval at the Okayama round of the season. Despite winning only one race, Kogure and Duval each claimed their first Super GT championship. Weider Honda also won the GT500 Teams title, ahead of Team TOM'S.

The 2010 Autobacs Super GT Series was the 17th season of the Japan Automobile Federation Super GT Championship.

In both classes, every race was won by a different pairing, with Weider Honda Racing duo Takashi Kogure and Loïc Duval eventually becoming GT500 champions for the first time, giving the Honda HSV-010 GT a championship-winning début season. Defending champions Juichi Wakisaka and André Lotterer finished the season as runners-up, while Toshihiro Kaneishi and Koudai Tsukakoshi finished third. In GT300, Kazuki Hoshino and Masataka Yanagida overhauled an 11-point deficit heading into the final round of the championship to claim the title for Hasemi Motorsport. Their final round win, coupled with finishes or lower than eighth place for Morio Nitta and Shinichi Takagi, and Ryo Orime and Nobuteru Taniguchi, gave them a championship-winning margin of nine points.
