THE CHAMPIONSHIP

GT CUP
EUROPE

The GT Cup Open Europe is a young championship, born in 2019 as a support series to the International GT Open, but already capable of carving out its own space in the European panorama.

The races take place on some of Europe's most iconic circuits, featuring GT4 cars and models from the most famous one-make series, such as the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo or the Porsche Carrera Cup. Each weekend features two 55-minute races, with dedicated qualifying and a mandatory pit stop, designed primarily for driver changes.

The series is divided into categories to make the competition more balanced, with Pro-Am and Am crews competing on equal terms in an international setting.
