But there is differences between Super GT and other racing car series. Super GT made a system called "Weight Ballast Handicap". If there's a car that finished first place in a race, the car will be handicaped by weight penalty, by using ballast of 20 kg, and it goes to the second place car, third place car, until the fifth place car. Obviously with lighter ballast. This was made for the purpose of fair racing. Making the race is more competitive and unpredictable.
