That depends on the driver line-up. AFAIK they are a bit more competitive now, sometimes running in the top 10

GTA and HARO Sports and entertainment SDN BHD announce 3 year contract from 2020 for Sepang round.
In 2020 there is a Tokyo Olympic. So Fuji speedway can't be used for Fuji 500 miles race.
So Sepang will be a substitute race of Fuji round.

Saturday Press conference by GTA (Masaaki Bandoh)
https://car.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1152706.html

About 2018 impressions
-I think that we could make many motorsport fans in this year.
-Only Super GT is competing in the world motorsport markets.
-We are cooperate with ITR for Class 1. Important thing is understand each other cultures.

About progress for 2019 joint events
-Currently ongoing
-We are asked by Japanese manufacturers to decide details by December 20.

About team-order suspicion at Motegi round
-We must define that was team-order or manufacturer-order at first.
-There is no rule for manufacturer-order because we have set no manufacturers title.
-Of course, we are capturing team radios.
So we could judged that situation is in the racing incident of #36's troubleshooting.
-I think the important thing is making rules for future.

About 2020 Fuji 500 miles race (impact by Tokyo Olympic games)
-We can not use Fuji Speed Way that periods. So no Fuji 500 miles race in 2020.
-So we have 8 races in a year including Sepang round.

Come to think of it, Fuji Speedway has a bike course, right?

Nojiri did what he had to do to give the #8 a chance at the title. They still need the #100 and #1 to both finish 7th or lower and the #36 to finish 3rd or lower, on top of winning the race, but they have given themselves a chance, unlike the unfortunate Sekiguchi after Nakajima's mistake.

The #100 is starting in a great position, but they will be wary of the Lexus race pace.

In GT300, Hiramine and Gamou both went under the lap record to secure the front row, erstwhile record holder Kataoka was third. Curiously, if the race ended as it starts, Gamou's #65 would take the title, but I'd wager the #55 should still be favourite as Takagi showed the car has pace in Q1 (Walkinshaw's Q2 effort was a bit disappointing) and should move up through the field during the race. If the #55 does struggle though, the title race would be wide open as a number of cars starting near the front still have a shot at the title through winning the race. I think it sets up very nicely.

Big congrats to Team Kunimitsu! They've competed in GT500 since (the first year of the class) 1996 and they've finally earned the championship. Well done!

I can see the possibility of F1 challenge next season in Yamamoto's comment.

Naoki Yamamoto's comment
"Regarding what happens next year,
I understand what kind of answer you are seeking for,
but now I am full with joy, so please leave me alone."

I stand corrected. I did not know about the team running a Porsche before running the GT2 NSX in GT500 during 1996.
