The Fuji Long Distance Series (富士ロングディスタンスシリーズ, Fuji rongudisutansu shirīzu) was a Japanese endurance championship which took place mainly at Fuji International Speedway.
The series began in 1977 and until 1984 was an independent championship with three rounds, all held at Fuji.[1] In the first two seasons the series was contested by Group 6 two-seater racing cars, with some touring cars filling the grid. The Group 6 sportscars were soon replaced by Group 5 silhouettes and 1983 saw the introduction of Group C and IMSA GTP sports prototypes cars.[1]
In 1985 the three Fuji races were incorporated into All Japan Endurance Championship[2] who already had a Fuji round known as WEC in Japan. As a result, between 1985 and 1990 the Fuji Long Distance Series title was awarded counting the four Fuji rounds from the merged championship.[1]
By 1991 the series was renamed Long Distance Series and counted all races from the All Japan championship,[1] however the series ended after the 1992 season, when the JAF dissolved the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship, ending Group C racing in Japan.[2]
The Fuji Long Distance Series was sanctioned by FISCO Club (currently known as Fuji Motorsports Club) and, as a championship of entrants, the titles were awarded to teams.[1]
