2018 Intercontinental GT Challenge Calendar
The Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC) is the world's premier global championship for GT3-spec machinery, designed by the SRO Motorsports Group to unite the most iconic endurance races across five continents into a single manufacturer-led competition. Unlike traditional series where teams compete full-time, the IGTC revolves around elite automotive brands such as Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, and Ferrari nominating local and international teams to score points in legendary events like the Bathurst 12 Hour, the 24 Hours of Spa, the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and the Indianapolis 8 Hour. By utilizing a sophisticated Balance of Performance (BoP) to ensure parity among diverse manufacturers, the series delivers a high-stakes "World Cup" of GT racing that tests the endurance and technical prowess of the world’s best professional drivers and factory-supported teams on a truly global stage.
