GT World Challenge

Reserved for cars conforming to GT3 regulations and using SRO Motorsports Group’s globally recognised Balance of Performance (BOP) criteria, Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS can trace its roots back to the creation of the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2011. The series also joins with similar categories in Asia, America and Australia to form part of the global GT World Challenge Powered by AWS, a unique concept that allows manufacturers to measure the success of their customer racing programmes. In a further initiative that began in 2021, the Fanatec Esports GT Pro Series is staged at each Endurance Cup event using Assetto Corsa Competizione. Entrants competing for overall honours and those in the Silver Cup nominate one driver to contest a 60-minute virtual race, with points up for grabs in the real-world teams’ championships. The alignment of an established on-track product with fresh ideas beyond the circuit speaks to the series’ ethos. Indeed, by combining an illustrious history with a modern approach to competition, Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS stands at the forefront of international motor racing.
