It all depends on how dogmatic the ACO is about the support categories for these races. I don't think that SuperGT cars are the right kind of field filler, but with GT3 racing gaining a foothold in Asia, it should be possible to get decent grid figures. And it's not just for two races either: Super Taikyu will have a GT3-class next year and there are one-off events like the Macao GT-race or the 12 hours of Sepang that usually attract pretty respectable grids. If the ACO can tap into that pool, grid figures shouldn't be that big an issue.
