Following speculation, the organisers of the Malaysian round of the 2026 Autobacs Super GT series will be indefinitely postponed with current ticket holders able to opt between a refund or hold on for a free upgrade once the new dates are confirmed.
The Malaysian round of the series was originally scheduled to take place from June 19-21 2026 at the Sepang International Circuit. It was to be the third round in the calendar and the only one held outside of Japan.
As the initial reports suggested, the postponement was due to the current instability in the Middle East that has led to a global oil shortage. That has also directly impacted logistics as well as substantially raised the cost of freight and air travel.

Furthermore, though Malaysian oil supply is guaranteed for the next few months, the Malaysian government is looking to put on hold large-scale events deemed non-beneficial to national significance due to the potential fuel shortage.
The announcement by the organisers stated that the postponement is temporary and all parties will work towards returning Super GT back to Malaysia when the conditions are safe and stable.

That begs the question of what happens to current ticket holders given that sales were already opened prior to the postponement?
According to the post on the Super GT Malaysia Facebook page, tickets purchased will remain valid for the yet-to-be-announced rescheduled race date. Should holders choose not to request a refund and hold your booking until 1 May 1 2026, the tickets will be automatically upgraded to include free grid walk access. Furthermore, the ticket price will be guaranteed at the original purchase price.
If you prefer a refund, you will need to submit the request by 30 April 2026 but take into account that will forfeit the automatic grid walk access upgrade and should you decide to repurchase tickets later on, it will potentially be at a higher price.
