2022 Super Taikyu Series

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

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.
