GT4 EUROPEAN SERIES POWERED BY RAFA RACING CLUB

The biggest GT4 championship in the world continues to stage each of its six doubleheader weekends alongside Fanatec GT Europe, extending a run that stretches back to 2019. More than 50 cars are expected this year, with three highly competitive classes ensuring non-stop action at every event.

FANATEC GT2 EUROPEAN SERIES POWERED BY PIRELLI

The Fanatec GT2 European Series Powered by Pirelli will run all six of its events alongside Fanatec GT Europe this year, including a maiden appearance at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

GT1 SPORTS CLUB POWERED BY CURBSTONE

It may be non-competitive, but racing is fundamental to the DNA of GT1 Sports Club Powered by Curbstone. Featuring some of the world's most incredible automotive accomplishments – such as the Pagani Huayra and the Apollo IE – the mere sound of these machines is enough to set pulses racing.

McLAREN TROPHY EUROPE

As it embarks upon its second season, McLaren Trophy Europe will continue to stage all of its races alongside Fanatec GT Europe. Featuring the British marque's eye-catching Artura Trophy and 570S Trophy models, the calendar once again includes a support slot at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

LAMBORGHINI SUPER TROFEO

Continuing a relationship that stretches back to 2011, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo will once again be part of the Fanatec GT Europe support package this term. Grids of up to 40 cars, all using the ferocious Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, make for a spectacular show.

MITJET

Using an FIA-approved tubular chassis and 2-litre Renault powerplant, the Mitjet organisation has a long history of success. Two different series will support Fanatec GT Europe this term: the Italian championship joins for the opener at Circuit Paul Ricard, while we will see a double assault by the French and Nord Europe Series at Hockenheim. Finally, Mitjet France will be back in action at Magny-Cours.

F4 FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP

France's domestic F4 championship is a hotbed of young talent, with Theo Pourchaire, Victor Martins and Isack Hadjar all emerging from the series within the past few years. Drivers use identical Mygale chassis powered by a 1.3-litre Renault Sport motor, so it's a real proving ground for the stars of tomorrow. 

Racing at: Nürburgring, Magny-Cours

CLIO CUP SERIES

The Clio Cup Series join Fanatec GT Europe for two events this year. The fast and nimble Renault Clio R.S. V has undergone a facelift, including new front and rear bumpers. As ever it should create ultra-close competition, with more than 40 drivers contesting each race.

Racing at: Misano, Hockenheim

CROWDSTRIKE 24 HOURS OF SPA CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS

As the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa marks its centenary, the machines that wrote the history of this great race will make a triumphant return to the Ardennes. In collaboration with Peter Auto, more than 80 touring cars (from 1966 to 2000) and GTs (from 1993 to 2013) will contest a total of three races: two for the GTs, one for the tin-tops. This promises to be a spectacular show for long-term fans and newcomers.

CO-HEADLINING WITH THE FFSA FRENCH GT AND TC CHAMPIONSHIPS

Fanatec GT Europe returns to Magny-Cours this season. As was the case previously, it will share top billing with the FFSA French GT Championship and FFSA TC France. Both series continue to thrive under the stewardship of SRO Motorsports Group thanks to a fan-friendly atmosphere and thrilling on-track action. 

THE BEST OF BRITISH AT BRANDS HATCH

Brands Hatch will have a distinctively British support line-up. Clio Cup GB is a fresh addition to the programme, though it offers the same thrill-a-minute competition as its European counterpart. The ROWE Britcar Trophy is also new, catering for cars directly below GT4 level. Equipe Classic Racing returns with sports cars from the fifties, sixties and seventies, and there's further vintage machinery from the Classic Sports Car and the Classic & Modern Motorsport Club.
