Hello Everyone! Welcome to the first edition of International GT Championship.
The idea of hosting a GT Series was when I have competed in several endurance races and after hosting a Le Mans 1000km Race last year, I always looked forward to host a GT Championship.

The GT Championship will consist into a multiclass races between the GT3 and the GT4 cars.

Seeing my first time that I'm hosting a GT Championship, we're looking forward to see you on the track for the first season ever of International GT Championship!

2.1.1- The championship will be contested with 12 rounds with durations from 60 minutes to 150 minutes.

2.2.2- The qualifying format will be done in Free Run and the drivers are expected to set the fastest lap times for a race.

2.2.3- Once the qualifying sessions end, the Event Promotors will be noting the lap times. Only the fastest lap session will be counted for the Overall Qualifying.

2.2.4- The Organisation has the right to disallow a lap time if a driver is found to breach the regulations, at any time for any reason!

2.2.5- If there are more than 16 drivers, a Pre-Qualifying Session will be done. Pre-Qualifying is a session that 17 or more drivers will attempt to the qualify for the full race. Only 16 drivers will be allowed to qualify, meaning, 8 drivers from GT3 and 8 drivers from GT4.

2.2.6- During the Race Week, each Pre-Qualifying will be held during the week, from Monday to Friday.

2.2.7- A driver, who wants to take part in a Pre-Qualifying lobby, must find a day and time which is suitable.

So if I read the calendar and the proposed event start times correctly, these races would be held on a Saturday evening in Europe?

If so, I might be able to make most of the events depending on real world racing for me down in Australia.

This sounds interesting, but I think it will end up running during FIA rounds for NA.
Thanks! At what time do the FIA Rounds for North America run?
I'm trying to make the time suitable for everyone.

Sorry for 3rd post in a row!

So far, IGTC has now 3 drivers signed: One driver in GT4 class and Two drivers signed in GT3 Class. The first driver to sign in GT4 class is Jordan Brook, who is also competing on International Rally Championship. He will drive on Ford Mustang Gr. 4 and will use the racing number #66 for 2021 IGTC season.

The Organisation is looking forward to see you on the track! :cheers:

Do I have to add the name of my team and car number to my livery? I am not sure how to do that. Any pointers to youtube guides are welcome!

Also: can I skip rounds if I notify in advance?

Sorry for all the questions. This is my first league racing event.

@Harsk100 hey mate, just a heads up. I'll have to miss the season opener. Have a work assignment that requires me to travel out of town that morning (my time).
No problem! Thanks for letting me know.

The Organisation hopes to see you on the track for Round #2! :cheers:
 
Me too. Was looking forward to running the Merc at Interlagos, however a job assignment at Mount Panorama doesn't come up very often.
No problem! Enjoy your stage at Mount Panorama. :)

There are 12 rounds, so you can still take part on Fuji Speedway. Good luck on Mount Panorama! :cheers:
 
Thanks. Only driving a TV Camera for the Hill Climb event. But it's a lot of fun being out there.

Also whilst I'm not able to make Round 1. I can unveil the car I'll be racing this season.

Nice livery! The only thing missing is the GT3 class decal. :sly:

The livery for my car will be unveiled soon.

I can make a livery for your car, if necessary. 👍

I have liveries that look absolutaly smashing but I am also unable to add the door and GR4 decals.
I already tried to make one that has just the 205 but that is boring...

So.. if you could add door and what not to this car :rolleyes::embarrassed:;)...

7566711560680276480_23.jpg


That would be nice.

I do plan to make myself better at making these as I do not like this color combo so much as the one on my Mazda:

5188147954615059465_23.jpg


But I need more time then I have.

As I side note: how will we distinguish Gr3 from Gr4 on track? Yellow vs White lights (on) and/or a white/black band across the windscreen?

Cheers,

Seth

Gr. 3 cars are GT3 cars, while Gr. 4 cars are GT4 cars.

You can do the livery on Jaguar F-Type Gr. 4 similar to what you did for your Mazda.
