History
The series was announced in October 2020, replacing the GT Sports Club America and the Sprint category of the GT4 America Series.[1] The first race was run on March 6, 2021 and was won by George Kurtz.[2] At the end of the opening season, Charlie Luck was crowned the inaugural overall champion, while Jason Bell won the GT4 class championship.[3]
Class structure
The series places strong emphasis on Bronze-rated and gentleman drivers in the single-driver sprint race format. Races are 40 minutes in length, with no required pit stops.[4] Entries are split into three classes; SRO3 (featuring GT3-homologated cars), GT2, and GT4. Previous generation GT3 machinery is also homologated for the competition.[1]
The 2021 season featured a GT3 Masters class, exclusively for drivers above the age of 50, which took a similar format to the former GT Sports Club's Titanium class. With many Bronze-rated drivers already over the age of 50, and inaugural champion Charlie Luck claiming both the Masters and Overall championships, the class was disbanded ahead of the 2022 season.
