In 2024, GT2 Challenge returns for its third season. A change compared to previous seasons, the race distance is also time-limited (105 minutes) besides being defined in lap count. During the week leading up to Round 1, a discussion emerged on the NDR Discord to adjust the intake restriction of the FXR. As a result, while FZR and XRR keep their restrictions for all season rounds, the FXR will remain 24% for Rounds 1 and 2, then run at 23% for Rounds 3 and 4.

The GT2 Challenge (GT2C) is a sprint based series, using restricted GTR cars, organized by New Dimension Racing.

Format

The series aims to a sprint format, one driver to a car. Races are scheduled to be approximately 230 kilometres in length, with a rolling start. Drivers are not required to make a pit stop, but the race lengths make the no-stop strategy risky. Safety Car and Virtual Safety Car deployments add strategic changes. In the first two seasons, balance of performance was defined as: FZ50 GTR (FZR) 21%, FXO GTR (FXR) 24%, XR GTR (XRR) 25% intake restriction.

History

In 2024, GT2 Challenge returns for its third season. A change compared to previous seasons, the race distance is also time-limited (105 minutes) besides being defined in lap count. During the week leading up to Round 1, a discussion emerged on the NDR Discord to adjust the intake restriction of the FXR. As a result, while FZR and XRR keep their restrictions for all season rounds, the FXR will remain 24% for Rounds 1 and 2, then run at 23% for Rounds 3 and 4.
