Announcing the Genuine Racing GT Masters 2013!
OVERVIEW
The Genuine Racing Grand Touring Masters returns for this year, with the same distance-limited race format that already proved to be successful in 2012. The main change will be the cars being used this season. For the first time we will utilise GT2-spec cars in one of our series to enhance the level of competition even more while at the same time making it easier for newcomers to join the series. Just like last year all races will be distance limited to either 250 or 300 kilometres with a single-file flying start getting them under way. All driver's are also required to race alone, there will be no driver changes in any of the races, which provides another challenge which is to drive mistake-free for almost two hours in a row. As in the in the first season, we will be looking for both, a driver's and a team's champion, with the two highest-placed cars of each team scoring points towards that championship in each event.
The series will also use our usual qualifying format, with a 24h-long session starting on the Friday before the race at 19:00 UTC and ending 24 hours later.
