The French tyre supplier made a shock announcement last week that the 2023 season will be its last in the top class of Japan’s top sportscar series, where it supplies Nissan’s two works NISMO Zs, although it plans to maintain a presence in the GT300 division.
Michelin has said in the past that it uses SUPER GT, one of only a handful of championships left in worldwide motorsport with open tyre competition, to inform development for other series it is involved in, such as the World Endurance Championship.
