The Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) will host the Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli sports car championship October 1-4, 2020, in conjunction with its North American series, GT World Challenge America.
The Indianapolis 8 Hours will combine the two series for the first time in an epic endurance classic on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course at the Racing Capital of the World. The best International GT teams will battle GT World Challenge America teams to enhance the exciting #IntGTC schedule organized by SRO Motorsports Group that also features the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour (Australia), Total 24 Hours of Spa (Belgium), Suzuka 10 Hours (Japan) and Kyalami 9 Hour (South Africa).
The world’s only global GT3 championship—the Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli—celebrates its fifth season in 2020 racing on five continents.
With the Indianapolis 8 Hours included in the 2020 GT World Challenge America schedule, this will be the series’ first long-distance endurance race that will count toward the championship in recent decades. This season, GT World Challenge America refreshed the series to feature a two-driver pairing in 90-minute SprintX races with full-service pit stops.
“We are excited to be bringing our leading brand of GT3 competition to the world-famous Brickyard,” Stephane Ratel said, the founder and CEO of SRO Motorsports Group, which organizes the series. “What better way to close out our 2020 season than at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – a track with such prestige and historical significance.”
In addition, the Indianapolis weekend will showcase drivers in SRO America’s Pirelli GT4 America, and the TC America series will crown its champions as they cross the world-famous Yard of Bricks start-finish line over the race weekend.
