The Super GT Girls concept has grown into an institution as big as the race itself. Many of the GT Girls have their own fan clubs and even managers. The Super GT Series started as the Japan GT and currently Sepang in Malaysia remains the only race venue outside Japan.

The GT Girls’ famous midriff and cleavage were diligently debated by our MPs in Parliament. Perhaps; issues affecting their constituents were of lesser significance that year

I was pleasantly surprised that many of the GT Girls and Japanese journalists recognised the Olympus Pen camera I was using. A testimony of the popularity of the nascent mirrorless format in Japan…

I asked these two nice ladies “Which part of Japan you from ah?” Their reply: “Kolompo!” Meet our very own GT Girls. Sorry, no full-body shot
