Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT), a racing team supported by Suzuki France S.A.S. which is the French subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, has won FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) World Endurance Championship title for the fourth consecutive year, its 13th all-time title.

Although at the final fourth round in France, the Le Mans 24 hours, SERT finished at 26th due to a small crash and subsequent engine trouble, they showed stable performance throughout the year.

As a result, the championship season point became 93, which gave SERT 2013 World Endurance Championship title. Their fourth consecutive, 13th all-time title proved the high performance of the GSX-R1000.
