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

History

GT2 Challenge ran its four-round inaugural season in 2020, spanning between April 24 and June 13. Following the success of the first season, it returned for a second, extended season for six rounds. Season two introduced a pre-qualifying system to determine the 38 cars that can take part in a given championship round. The pre-qualifying ran for 48 hours, and awarded all participants who attempted pre-qualifying 5 bonus points per round. Drivers who did not make the top 38 cut, were offered a second race session of a full race distance, unscored, not officially timed.

In 2024, GT2 Challenge returns for its third season. Its first round was concluded right on the week following the final round of GT4 Sprint Cup 2024. 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 kept 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 (announcement: [1]). Similarly to season two, pre-qualifying was also used to determine the top 38 drivers that can take part in a round, with the difference of not awarding bonus points for participants and also not having a second race session for those who did not make the cut. Of those, the first three drivers were asked to be ready to jump in last minute, if necessary, given they wished so.

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.

Scoring

Based on Season 2024: all drivers which drive 75% or more of the race distance are awarded points. Pole position qualifying awards an extra point. In race, all drivers get points based on the table below. The high climber driver gets 1 extra point. A 5 point bonus will be awarded to every driver at each round they participate in (in any session).
