GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS will roar back to life at Imola next weekend (25/26 July) when a three-hour Endurance Cup contest launches the eagerly awaited 2020 campaign.
The championship begins its 10th season of competition with a new name and more anticipation than ever before following an extended break between races. The silence will be broken by a 46-car grid going wheel-to-wheel at one of Europe’s most popular venues, which is set to make its very first appearance on the Endurance Cup schedule.
Officially known as Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, the 4.9km anti-clockwise circuit lies on the outskirts of Imola town and combines a fast, flowing layout with vast motorsport heritage. The long-time host of the San Marino Grand Prix, Imola also staged FIA GT Championship events in 2004 and 2005, as well as many other top-level series.
Now it will gain fresh significance as the stage upon which Europe’s premier GT3 category returns to action. A thrilling weekend lies ahead in northern Italy, with a competitive entry list featuring a wide variety of machinery ready to do battle.
