At the annual press conference during the 2016 24 Hours of Spa on 29 July, the Stéphane Ratel Organisation announced the first draft of the 2017 calendar. The final calendar was announced on 23 December.[1] The series started at Misano on 1 April and ended at the Nürburgring on 17 September. Misano and the Nürburgring made their return on the schedule after a one-year absence, while Brands Hatch was on the schedule for the first time in the series' history. The rounds at Monza and Silverstone were discontinued and the round in Pau would be part of the Southern Cup.[2]
