The 2007 Autobacs Super GT Series was the fifteenth season of the Japan Automobile Federation Super GT Championship including the
All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC) era and the third season as the
Super GT series. It is also marked as the twenty-fifth season of a JAF-sanctioned sports car racing championship dating back to the
All Japan Sports Prototype Championship. It is a series for
Grand Touring race cars divided into two categories: GT500 and GT300. This was the final season for the
350Z, as it was announced by
Nissan and
Nismo near the end of the season that the new
R35 GT-R would be replacing it the following season. The season began on March 18 and ended on November 4, 2007, after 9 races.
In the GT500 class,
ARTA drivers
Ralph Firman and
Daisuke Itō won the championship in a dominating fashion, becoming the first GT500 champion to clinch the title before the final race of the season, a feat only matched by the
2012 champions
Masataka Yanagida and
Ronnie Quintarelli as of the end of the
2018 season. In the GT300 class,
Kazuya Oshima and
Hiroaki Ishiura in the apr
Toyota MR-S won the driver's championship title by winning the tiebreaker against the
Shiden of
Kazuho Takahashi and
Hiroki Katoh - the two teams finished the season with the same number of points, but Oshima and Ishiura had two race wins compared to Takahashi and Katoh's one. Takahashi and Katoh's overall consistency, however, would gave Cars Tokai Dream28 the team's championship title by six points over Oshima and Ishiura.
