The 2024 Eneos Super Taikyu Series Empowered by Bridgestone was the thirty-fourth season of the Super Taikyu endurance racing championship. It began on 20–21 April at Sportsland Sugo and finished on 17 November at Fuji Speedway.
This season marked the beginning of a new three-year contract with Bridgestone to be the series' official tyre supplier. Bridgestone had taken over the supply of tyres from Hankook during the 2023 season after a fire at the Hankook manufacturing plant in Daejeon, South Korea forced them to abandon its supply.
Calendar The Super Taikyu Series announced its provisional 2024 calendar on 3 October 2023, with seven rounds held at Japan's six major motor racing circuits. Sportsland Sugo hosted the opening round of the championship on 21 April, while the five-hour race at Suzuka Circuit was moved to late September. Fuji Speedway again hosted two rounds, including the series' showcase event, the Fuji SUPER TEC 24 Hours on 25–26 May, and the season finale on 17 November.
