GT2 European Series

ABOUT GT2 EUROPEAN SERIES POWERED BY PIRELLI

GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli puts aspiring professional and amateur drivers at the centre of GT racing.

GT2 sits above GT4 and below GT3 in the SRO pyramid, giving drivers a place to develop on a level playing field and hone their skills with extensive track time. A GT2 car features more outright power than a GT3 but is less dependent on its aerodynamics to produce the best lap times.

Launched in 2021, the series currently features six manufacturers, with Audi, KTM, Maserati, Mercedes-AMG and Lamborghini set to be joined by Ginetta and the new G56 GT2.

The GT2 European Series evolves in 2026 with the creation of a new Silver class to cement a three-class structure of Silver, Pro-Am and Masters (formally Am).

The overhaul of classes coincides with the introduction of the SRO GT Academy to GT2 Europe for 2026, giving one Silver-graded driver the chance to win a fully funded GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup seat with a leading Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing team in 2027.  

This incredible opportunity is open to all Silver-graded drives under the age of 30 who contest the 2026 GT2 European season with Maserati, Mercedes or Ginetta GT2 machinery. For further details visit: https://www.gt2europeanseries.com/sro-gt-academy 

Global platform

For 2026, the GT2 Europe season will play out across five rounds, four of which continue to support GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, while one round will feature in SRO’s Spa Speedweek preceding the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

With the GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club accompanying most rounds, the combined festival of GT racing attracts tens of thousands of spectators to every event. All races are streamed live on the GT World YouTube channel to 800k+ subscribers around the globe.

The integration of multiple series also allows competitors to make use of either the Mic Food (present at each event), or the more elaborate SRO Hospitality structure (present at selected events).

Race Weekend Format
Each race weekend consists of two 60-minute free practice sessions followed by two 15-minute qualifying sessions to define the grids for two 50-minute races, each with a mandatory pit stop. With no limit on private testing outside of championship rounds, there are plenty of opportunities to take part in additional paid testing events.
