2022 Super Taikyu Series

HELM Motorsports' Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 won the ST-X class championship.

The 2022 Eneos Super Taikyu Series Powered by Hankook was the thirty-second season of the Super Taikyu Series endurance racing championship. The season started on 20 March and ended on 27 November at Suzuka Circuit.

HELM Motorsports won the championship in the series' GT3 category, known as ST-X, in its first year in the category with a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3.

Eneos became the series' title sponsor in a multi-year agreement announced before the start of the season. In the ST-Q class, Toyota and Subaru debuted versions of their new Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ sports cars, adapted to run on carbon-neutral fuel. Nissan also debuted a racing concept version of the new Nissan Z, which served as the prototype to the Nissan Z GT4.
