Our GT talent search is going global! 🌍 will take talent development to a new level this season by providing six drivers from as many different series with career-changing opportunities for 2027.
The innovative concept creates a pathway for young hopefuls to reach the top of global GT racing through skill, dedication and professionalism. SRO GT Academy will not only identify the stars of tomorrow: it will put them in a position to successfully demonstrate their potential on the world stage.
A number of common regulations will apply across all three elements. In addition to being classified Silver by the FIA and under 30 years of age on 31 December 2026, drivers must run the full season in their chosen series. Competing for the Academy prize in more than one series is not permitted, and entrants may not have participated in more than one GT World Europe event.
Points-scoring will be based on both a common set of criteria – such as average race pace over 10 laps and fastest individual times – and continent-specific requirements that include but are not limited to qualifying results and the race classification as the pit window opens. Conversely, drivers deemed responsible for incidents by the panel of stewards or race-ending accidents will incur a points deduction.
Ultimately, accurately assessing an individual’s performance regardless of their co-driver’s contribution lies at the very heart of SRO GT Academy’s ethos.
