PRESS CONFERENCE PRESENTATION

Monochrome GT4 Australia announces six-round calendar for 2026

• Six rounds across five states and territories to form part of 2026 Monochrome GT4 Australia season.

• Monochrome GT4 Australia to run all six rounds as part of Shannons SpeedSeries.

• Maiden visit to Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin headlines 2026 calendar.

• Monochrome GT4 Australia to headline final round of Shannons SpeedSeries season at Sandown Raceway.

SRO Motorsports Australia is pleased to announce a provisional six-round calendar for the 2026 Monochrome GT4 Australia season.

Following a record start to the 2025 season for Monochrome GT4 Australia, the series will once again play a significant role in the Shannons SpeedSeries in 2026 as a landmark visit to the Northern Territory and the season finale headliner highlight the exciting calendar.

With the Shannons SpeedSeries marking the popular Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin as the fourth round of the season, it will be the first time both the platform and Monochrome GT4 Australia have ever raced in the Top End.

Like this year, the growing series will kick off the 2026 season at the famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in March before heading to Shell V-Power Motorsport Park in South Australia just over a month later.

A visit to Queensland Raceway in June remains the destination for round three ahead of the historic event in the Northern Territory, while Sydney Motorsport Park serves as the penultimate round in September before the season wraps up at the iconic Sandown circuit in October.

With GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS not running its final round of the year as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries, Monochrome GT4 Australia will have the honour of being the headlining act of the platform for the first time since its formation in 2023.

The provisional 2026 Monochrome GT4 Australia calendar announcement was made at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium as part of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa press conference, along with the calendars of all other SRO series, including the Shannons SpeedSeries and GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS.

Further details on the 2026 season, including event details, will be released in due course.

Monochrome GT4 Australia continues its 2025 season next month at Sandown International Raceway as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries’ GT Festival Sandown on 25–27 July.

Fans can purchase tickets to the round via speedseries.com.au/tickets or watch the races live via the Seven Network or the GT World YouTube channel for international viewers.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to unveil the provisional Monochrome GT4 Australia calendar for the 2026 season as part of the global announcement here at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa,” said McMellan.

“It’s very exciting to be able to take Monochrome GT4 Australia to Darwin for the first time in its history - Hidden Valley is a fantastic race track that deserves more national level motorsport, so to be able to take some of the best racing categories in the country up there is a big positive for all parties.

“Monochrome GT4 Australia has been growing significantly since its formation in 2023, with this year going to another level, so to have it headline the season finale at Sandown will be exciting.

“Starting at Phillip Island is slowly becoming a tradition for the Shannons SpeedSeries, GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS and Monochrome GT4 Australia, so it’s great that we kick off the season there next year.

“We have been hard at work at getting this provisional calendar locked in, but doing so allows us to get a head start on building the foundations for the season and our major stakeholders to begin their initial preparations for next year.”

A full calendar for the new GT3 Revival Series and changes to the GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli were among the announcements made by Stéphane Ratel during his CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa press conference. The annual media gathering took place on the eve of the race's 77th edition, which will feature the biggest grid seen during the event's GT era.

The GT3 Revival Series will be run in collaboration between Peter Auto and SRO, which will draw upon era-specific archives to provide the Balance of Performance. It will debut in 2026 using cars homologated from 2006 through 2013, with eligible machinery including crowd pleasers such as the Aston Martin DBRS9, BMW Z4, Ford Matech GT, Nissan GT-R NISMO and Mercedes SLS AMG.

The inaugural season will coincide with the 20th anniversary of GT3, which has become one of the most popular categories in global motorsport. Indeed, the continued success of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa owes a great deal to the implementation of GT3 rules in 2011.

The new series will undertake a five-round calendar opening at Circuit Paul Ricard, where the GT3 Revival Series will support the season-opening GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS round (11/12 April). It then heads to Spa-Francorchamps to join Spa Classic (22-24 May), followed by another prestige event at Circuit de la Sarthe for Le Mans Classic (dates to be confirmed).

The final two rounds will both be staged alongside GT World Challenge Europe, with visits to the Nürburgring (29/30 August) and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya concluding the 2026 campaign. With the exception of Le Mans Classic, each event will feature 220 minutes of track time, culminating in a pair of 50-minute races. Le Mans Classic will see the GT3 Revival Series on track for 150 minutes, with both races running for 40 minutes.

The GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli was first announced during Stéphane Ratel’s 2020 press conference at Spa-Francorchamps. Next year it will expand to include a Silver class, which will run alongside the continuing Pro-Am and Am classes. A three-hour endurance race during Spa Speedweek is also under consideration as part of a six-round calendar.

What’s more, GT2 Europe will add an SRO GT Academy prize with the support of Maserati and Mercedes-AMG. The best-performing Silver driver competing in either Silver or Pro-Am with a Maserati or Mercedes-AMG will earn a full season in the 2027 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. They will be placed with a customer Mercedes-AMG team, with no budget required except for repairs. Other manufacturers are welcome to support the Academy and make their drivers eligible.

In a further development, the SRO GT Academy prize offered in the FFSA French GT Championship will now provide the successful driver with a spot on the GT2 Europe grid. This will create a clear pathway from GT4 to GT2 and finally GT3, giving talented drivers the opportunity to progress to the highest levels of sportscar racing.

There will be an important change to GT World Challenge America next year. With the exception of the season-closing Indianapolis 8 Hour, all races will now run to a three-hour format. This refreshed structure is intended to maximise track time and ensure that the weekend builds towards the main event on Sunday afternoon.

The 2026 calendars for a host of other SRO series were revealed during the press conference. Intercontinental GT Challenge will undertake an unchanged five-round schedule which includes the Suzuka 1000km. The Japanese event returns this autumn (12–14 September) following a six-year hiatus. Calendars were also announced for the continental GT World Challenge powered by AWS series in America, Asia, Australia and Europe, British GT, the FFSA French GT Championship, and other regional series around the globe.

Of particular note, Shanghai returns to Asia’s calendar as one of two Chinese events alongside the Beijing Street Circuit, which debuts later this year.

Following today’s press conference attention will return to the track with Superpole taking place at 16:10. This will be followed by a 20-minute Warm-Up, which gets underway at 20:05 and is open to the full field, while tomorrow’s race goes green at 16:30. Live coverage will air in English, German, French, Italian, Flemish and Portuguese on the GT World YouTube channel.

The German driver was the favourite to top Friday afternoon's Superpole, which saw one driver representing each of the fastest 20 cars from yesterday's Qualifying session run in reverse order to decide the grid. But while Kirchhöfer was scheduled to go last, there was an early contender for glory.

GUILVERT AND PETIT BREAK THROUGH AT SPA AS TEAM SPEEDCAR SECURES A ONE-TWO

+ Guilvert and Petit lead Lariche and Consani home in Silver

+ Still and Bölting make it four from five in Pro-Am

+ W&S takes full advantage of Am class chaos

Grégory Guilvert and Paul Petit claimed their first victory of the GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club season in a turbulent opening race at Spa where the duo led home a one-two finish for the Team Speedcar Audi team.

A long opening stint and late driver change laid the foundations for Petit to claim his maiden overall win, while Guilvert scored his first since Barcelona 2021. Championship leaders Benjamin Lariche and Robert Consani turned around a tough qualifying to come home 2.7s behind and extend their points cushion.

Hendrik Still and Joachim Bölting took their fourth Pro-Am win in the opening five races for W&S Motorsport, while the German team also blew the Am class title race wide open with Daniel Blickle and Max Kronberg winning after trouble hit the points-leading Chazel Technologie Course BMW.

SILVER: REDEMPTION FOR GUILVERT AND PETIT

Guilvert qualified the car fifth overall and survived a dramatic start to move up to third on the first tour. A multi-car clash further back eliminated the title-chasing Academy Motorsport Ford Mustang among others and summoned an early Safety Car.

Amid the chaos, Still had managed to drag past pole position man Josh Rattican to lead, with Guilvert shadowing the top two when racing resumed after the cleanup. A second caution period followed soon after when Hadrien David ploughed into the gravel with his damaged Toyota, meaning the second and third-placed cars in the Silver points were both out early.

That presented a big chance to score, and when racing resumed Guilvert made the call to run deep into the pit window to find clean air. The combination of his rapid in-lap and a swift switch to Petit helped the Audi vault into the lead, with Petit filtering back in with a few seconds’ advantage.

Another key pit call came from Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport, which opted to pit Berkay Besler from seventh at the first chance, and his team-mate Gabriele Piana put on a show afterwards with a stunning stint. Rejoining fourth, Piana pulled a superb pass on Consani at Les Combes, and then closed on Rattican’s team-mate McKenzy Cresswell. He tried around the outside of the chicane for second, but contact spun the McLaren and earned Piana a 10-second penalty. Even though the #12 BMW caught and passed Petit on the final lap, the penalty dropped Piana to fourth in the final result, leaving Petit to take the win ahead of Consani and the CMR Ginetta of Mike Simpson/Ethan Gialdini.

PRO-AM: STILL AND BÖLTING TO THE FOUR

W&S Motorsport pair Still and Bölting withstood heavy pressure to record their fourth win of the year, and extend their points cushion at the head of the class.

The early Safety Cars prevented Still from building a gap at the head of the field across the first half, but he did at least manage to put seven cars between himself and his closest class rival, Victor Bouveng in the Schuberth Motorsport BMW.

That gap was eroded over the second half when Bölting took over and lost time as the Silver leaders filtered past, with Bouveng’s team-mate Joachim Walde closing to within half-a-second of the lead Porsche. Despite the pressure, Bölting proved unshakable to score a big result. Emil Skärås and Hans Holmlund completed the podium in their Toyota Gazoo Racing Sweden Supra.

AM: W&S DOUBLES UP AS CHAZEL SUFFERS

The biggest casualties of the start chaos came in the Am class, with damage for points leaders Antoni de Barn and Jean-Mathieu Leandri opening the door for Blickle and Kronberg to score big.

With both class pole-sitter Julien Ripert’s Team Speedcar Audi and de Barn’s Chazel Technologie Course BMW out with damage at La Source, Blickle picked his way through to lead, executed a clean stop and Kronberg did the rest, pulling comfortably clear of Bernd Schaible and Tobias Erdmann in the Seyffarth Motorsport Audi. Mats Olsson and Stefan Nilsson completed the podium in their Schubert BMW.

The second race for the GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club at Spa is set for 12:10 tomorrow, shortly before the start of the world’s biggest GT race, the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

RACE REPLAY

Formanek and Rosina overcome penalty to secure Race 1 victory at Spa

• Mičánek Motorsport powered by Buggyra pair make it four from five in 2025

• Philippe Prette earns third Am win in succession aboard LP Racing Maserati

FINAL RESULT: RACE 1

Bronek Formanek and Stefan Rosina claimed a fourth Pro-Am win of the season in this afternoon's GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli race at Spa-Francorchamps to further extend their advantage at the top of the standings.

The #11 Mičánek Motorsport powered by Buggyra Lamborghini started from pole with Formanek at the wheel and held the lead as the cars made their initial run through La Source and down into Eau Rouge. He was chased by Philippe Prette, who occupied his familiar position at the head of the Am class field aboard the #1 LP Racing Maserati.

The Lamborghini remained in control throughout the opening stint, which was made tricky by light but persistent rainfall. Mičánek appeared comfortable until the car dipped under its minimum pit stop time, which included a seven-second success penalty carried over from Zandvoort. Rosina returned to the track comfortably ahead of his nearest rival but was soon hit with a 13-second penalty for the infraction.

Once the stops had played out Rosina was 17 seconds clear of Prette and 20 seconds ahead of his closest Pro-Am contender, the #7 DINAMIC Motorsport Maserati of Mauro Calamia. This effectively gave Rosina a seven-second cushion, but with the track becoming ever more slippery the Slovakian had to keep his focus.

Calamia was able to reduce the advantage to a little over three seconds with the penalty taken into account, but it was not enough to prevent Rosina from securing his and Formanek's fourth win from five races. The #7 Maserati was second thanks to the efforts of Calamia and his co-driver Roberto Pampanini.

A last-lap pass moved Mato Homola (#89 RTR Projects KTM) into the final podium position, ahead of Daniele Cazzaniga (#88 LP Racing Audi) who defended hard having taken over from Gianluca Giorgi. This gave Homola's new co-driver Davit Kajaia a piece of silverware on his series debut.

Prette secured his fourth Am class win from five races and a third in succession, coming home comfortably clear of Oliver Freymuth (#24 AKF Motorsport Lamborghini). The #53 Akkodis ASP Mercedes-AMG of Pascal Gibon and Christophe Bourret was third, extending the French drivers' run of successive podium finishes to five.

The GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli will be back in action on Saturday morning for another 60-minute race at Spa-Francorchamps. Live coverage will air on the GT World YouTube channel, with the action scheduled to get underway at 09:20 CEST.

An incredible month of endurance racing concludes this weekend when a record number of entries contest the world’s biggest GT race: the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

The dust has barely settled on the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring where BMW, Augusto Farfus and Kelvin van der Linde notched up their second Intercontinental GT Challenge victories of the season. They now make the short hop across the border into Belgium where 43 of Spa’s 75 cars are eligible to score IGTC points.

Those totals represent the greatest-ever gathering of GT3s for a single race and the largest Intercontinental entry since the globe-trotting GT series was established in 2016.

Of IGTC’s registered manufacturers, Mercedes-AMG enjoys a slight numerical advantage with 12 cars, while BMW and Porsche are also well represented with 11 apiece. Nine Ferraris complete the list of potential points-scorers, 15 of which feature Pro driver line-ups.

ROWE’s victory at the Nordschleife plus WRT’s Bathurst one-two leaves BMW 23 points ahead of its German rivals in the manufacturers’ standings. Its early success is also reflected in the drivers’ table where Farfus and Van der Linde are seven ahead of their factory colleague Raffaele Marciello, who was also a winner last weekend, and another 17 clear of the first non-BMW driver: Ayhancan Güven.

Intercontinental’s list also features three Independent Cup entrants, two of whom happen to be the class’ last two title winners. Reigning champion Antares Au makes his first IGTC appearance of the season with Rutronik and Porsche, while 2023 victor Jonathan Hui drives the Ziggo Sport Tempesta Ferrari. There’s also Independent Cup debutant Ralf Bohn who forms one-quarter of Herberth’s Bronze crew. All will be eager to make up ground on current points’ leader Kenny Habul who, along with Adrian D’Silva, makes his next IGTC start at Suzuka.

As always, manufacturers’ points are only collected by each marque’s two highest finishers, while drivers score on the basis of their final IGTC position. The race as well as Pre-Qualifying, Qualifying, Superpole and Warm-Up are all live, free and unrestricted on youtube.com/gtworld.

PACKED GRID RARING TO GO AS THE GT4 EUROPEAN SERIES POWERED BY RAFA RACING CLUB JOINS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST GT EVENT

+ 44-car field set to star alongside the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa

+ Consani and Lariche lead the way in Silver for Team Speedcar

+ Bölting and Still top Pro-Am after hat-trick of victories

+ Game on in Am as W&S fights back against Chazel

The GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club will play a starring role at the world’s biggest GT event next week, with round three taking place alongside the world-famous CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa (June 24-29).

With the twin sprint races in Belgium being held on the biggest GT racing stage of them all, a 44-car grid packed with quality has been assembled. The event will also feature the year’s only night race, as the field roars into the sunset on Friday evening, adding yet more spice to the title chase.

The GT4 European Series will again join forces with the GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli and GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS to create an unrivalled spectacle of GT racing. With a record 76-car GT3 field set to tackle the 24 Hours, there will be over 130 GT cars in competition across the week. The entire field will also take part in the traditional parade into Spa town centre, bringing the sport to the people in what promises to be an unmissable event.

SILVER: TEAM SPEEDCAR LEADS THE TWIN WINNERS

Robert Consani and Benjamin Lariche’s strong form has helped them to the head of the Silver points for the first time since the season-opener in 2023, and now the Team Speedcar Audi pair face the pressure of trying to stay on top of the pile.

A second victory of the season at Zandvoort extended the #3 Audi’s streak, meaning Consani and Lariche have been race winners at each of the last four GT4 European Series events, a run stretching back to Monza last September. That has given them a 13-point lead over the year’s other two-time winners, Marco Signoretti and Erik Evans, whose Academy Motorsport Ford Mustang survived a late gearbox scare to secure victory in Holland.

The speed of Jan Duran and Hadrien David in the Matmut Évolution Toyota GR Supra cannot be doubted. The early points leaders dropped back to third after a costly non-score at Zandvoort, but have finished every other race this year in second place, so will be keen to go one better at Spa.

Alexandre Papadopulos and Lluc Ibañez will be on a charge in the NM Racing Team Mercedes-AMG, as will Ricardo van der Ende/Benjamin Lessennes in their L’Espace Bienvenue BMW and Gabriele Piana/Berkay Besler in Borusan Otomotiv Motorsport’s lead M4. Paul Petit and Gregory Guilvert have been rapid in their Team Speedcar Audi, and watch for the Elite Motorsport McLaren of McKenzy Cresswell and reigning champion Josh Rattican, who won both races at Spa last season.

PRO-AM: BÖLTING AND STILL’S TRIPLE BOOSTS THEIR BID

After a penalty denied them a clean sweep of class wins at Circuit Paul Ricard, Joachim Bölting and Hendrik Still have bounced back in fine fashion, their double victory at Zandvoort giving the W&S Motorsport Porsche pair the Pro-Am lead.

They sit 40 points clear of Mirage Racing Aston Martin duo Stanislav Safronov and Aleksandr Vaintrub, but a single mistake can instantly close the gap. Schuberth Motorsport’s Joachim Walde and Victor Bouveng are just a point further back and chasing their breakthrough win, with Alberto Naska and Stefano D’Aste running fourth in their PB Racing Lotus after a strong last round.

The class entry will be boosted to 14 with the NOLASPORT Porsche team of Matt Travis and Jason Hart again making the trip across the Atlantic from New Orleans, USA. NM Racing Team switches up its crew with Matthew Higgins and Pierre Livingstone in its #16 Mercedes-AMG, and Emil Skaras returns alongside Hans Holmlund in Toyota Gazoo Racing Sweden’s Supra.

AM: W&S FIGHTS BACK AGAINST CHAZEL

After the opening round in France, it looked like Chazel Technologie Course drivers Jean-Mathieu Leandri and Antoni de Barn may have things all their own way after a clean sweep of poles and wins.

However, a first victory of the season for W&S Motorsport’s Max Kronberg and Daniel Blickle last time out proves they have a fight on their hands. Also do not discount NM Racing Team pair Igor Sorokin and Keith Gatehouse, nor Julien Rippert and Philippe Thalamy in the final Team Speedcar Audi, plus Indian acting superstar Ajith Kumar aboard his AV Racing Porsche. A guest entry from Seyffarth Motorsport for Bernd Schaible and Tobias Erdmann adds another Audi to the mix.
