The 2019 Super GT x DTM Dream Race (commercially titled AUTOBACS 45th Anniversary presents SUPER GT x DTM Dream Race) was a motor racing event held on the weekend of 22–24 November 2019. The event was held at Fuji Speedway in Japan, and consisted of two 55-minute + 1 lap races.

Background

The non-championship event was held by sister series Super GT and Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, which collaborated on the second generation of Class One Touring Cars.[1] As Super GT would debut the Class One cars in 2020, this was the final time the original GT500 cars were used.

Six DTM cars were freighted to Japan for the event – three Audis and three BMWs. Having struggled with costs and development in their debut DTM season, Aston Martin and R-Motorsport elected not to send any of their Vantages – Aston Martin later quit the DTM prior to the start of the 2020 season.[2]
