Announcing the 2014 Genuine Racing GT Open!
OVERVIEW
It's been quite some time since there was a championship aimed at amateur drivers, but here is one again! The Genuine Racing GT Open is here! Aimed at PRO-AM and AM driver combinations, this new championship draws inspiration from the various national and international PRO-AM GT championships, such as the FIA GT3 European Championship for example, to give lesser experienced drivers as well as complete rookies the chance to compete in international GT racing on a competitive level. The season consists of 6 events, one on each track environment, using the FZR with a 20% air-intake restriction. All rounds of the championship will consist of 24h of pre-qualifying from Friday to Saturday followed by a 20 minute long qualifying session and a 2 hour long race on Sunday evening.
For the 20-minute long qualifying session any of the two competing drivers in each team may set the time. All races will be started with a rolling start after a formation lap behind the Pace Car.
All teams who are looking into training their lesser experienced and amateur drivers are welcome to enter. No team should enter more than two cars however, unless there is a massive demand for more slots or a lack of entries.
