2024 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup

2024 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup

Motorsports season


The 2024 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup is the twelfth season of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup following on from the demise of the SRO Motorsports Group's FIA GT1 World Championship (an auto racing series for grand tourer cars), the fourth with the sponsorship of Fanatec.

The season begins on 4 May at Brands Hatch, and will end on 13 October at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Calendar

The calendar was released on 1 July 2023 at the SRO's annual 24 Hours of Spa press conference, featuring five rounds.[1] Several adjustments were announced, including Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya joining the sprint schedule after being shuffled out of the endurance schedule, and the addition of Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours after a year away. Circuit Ricardo Tormo and Circuit Zandvoort will not return to the sprint schedule, after three and five years in the series respectively.

Notes

  1. James Kell withdrew from round 1 shortly before the qualifying sessions due to health reasons. Påverud was allowed to compete solo for the remainder of the event.[10]
  2. Mukovoz is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Gvazava, also a Russian, competes under a Kyrgyz licence for the same reason.
