GT World Challenge Powered by AWS
Launched in 2019, GT World Challenge Powered by AWS is an international contest organised by SRO Motorsports Group in which leading manufacturers compete via their continental customer racing programmes. The 2025 season will consist of sprint and endurance events in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, with a group of elite brands vying for top spot.
Competing manufacturers are awarded points for their best-placed car in each class, ranging from 25 at sprint races up to 100 at the marquee CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
The 2025 schedule will include 10 rounds staged under the GT World Challenge Europe banner. Launched in 2011, the category is the global leader in customer GT3 racing, featuring a calendar split equally between the long-distance Endurance Cup and the short-format Sprint Cup.
GTWC Europe has built its success around the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, which is acknowledged as one of global motorsport's premier events.
Founded in 2017, GTWC Asia has established itself as the continent's leading GT championship by placing emphasis on quality domestic entrants. Following a two-year hiatus due to Covid travel restrictions, the series resumed in 2022 and quickly reclaimed its mantle thanks to strong grids and fierce competition.
GTWC America draws upon a considerable competitive history across the United States. Its seven-round 2025 season includes a high-profile finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where it competes alongside Intercontinental GT Challenge.
The global championship added a fourth continent in 2021 when GTWC Australia joined the line-up. Its calendar no longer includes the iconic Meguiar's Bathurst 12 Hour. However, the IGTC season opener has retained its place on GTWC's global schedule, which kicks off at Mount Panorama on February 2.
GT World Challenge is made possible by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the global technology provider to SRO Motorsports Group since 2021.
