Current season

Established in 2015, the Blancpain GT Sports Club offers Bronze drivers a chance to fight their peers for overall race wins aboard modern GT machinery. Equally, practice and qualifying sessions followed by non-pitstop 25-minute Qualifying and 40-minute Main Races ensure maximum track time. The series follows a three-class structure, with most entries eligible for Overall honours, drivers aged 60 and over catered for thanks to the Iron Cup classification, and racers piloting ‘trophy’ cars vying for the Xtra Cup Class.

Races are run with GT3 and Royal Automobile Club of Belgium (RACB) G3 cars, and the series also uses handicaps and restrictions to allow GTE-spec, GT3, RACB G3 and single-make championships to race together, offering owners of each the chance to race on a level playing field without investing in newer technology. A raceday features free practice and qualifying sessions, which are followed by qualifying and main races.[1]
