Intercontinental GT Challenge
FIVE ICONIC CIRCUITS - ONE GLOBAL GT SERIES
Intercontinental GT Challenge represents the highest echelon of long-distance GT racing.
Established in 2016, the series’ purpose couldn’t be simpler: reward the manufacturer and drivers who achieve the best collective results in the world’s greatest standalone endurance events.
The proliferation of GT3, built on more than a decade of manufacturer involvement and SRO’s Balance of Performance stability, has resulted in it becoming the de facto senior class for all of the world’s most prestigious GT races. This offers manufacturers an incentive to compete in all such events by employing regional customer teams without the expense of freighting cars around the world.
This year's calendar features five iconic race tracks: Mount Panorama, the Nurburgring Nordschleife, Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka - which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2019 - and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These collectively host 76.5 hours of racing.
BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche are full-season IGTC entrants. At each event all of these GT3 cars are nominated to score points, but only each of their two best finishers will contribute towards the manufacturers' standings. There are no such limits in the overall drivers' championship, while a third title - known as the Independent Cup - is awarded to the top performing amateur driver.
