The largest-ever entry for an Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli round in North America assembles at the world-famous Brickyard next weekend (October 15-17) when 41 cars tackle the Indianapolis 8 Hour Presented by AWS.
2021 marks IGTC’s fifth consecutive visit to the US and second at Indy after Laguna Seca previously hosted the globetrotting GT3 championship in 2017-19. This year’s entry eclipses the championship’s previous best in North America by nine after 32 cars travelled to California in 2018.
The race also doubles as Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS’s season finale, while a GT4 entry featuring 13 cars adds an intriguing multi-class element that has been a feature of all Intercontinental rounds on American soil.
17 cars from IGTC’s five full-season entrants – championship leaders Audi Sport and Ferrari, plus Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche – are battling for Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ points, two international entries will compete for Pro-Am Challenge honours, and individual class podiums are on offer for the event’s best placed Pro-Am, Silver, Am and GT4 crews.
GT World is the official YouTube channel for SRO Motorsports Group, the global leader in GT racing.
