Intercontinental & america GT Challenge

Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli represents the highest echelon of long-distance GT racing.Established in 2016, the series’ purpose couldn’t be simpler: reward the manufacturer and drivers who achieve the best collective results in the world’s greatest standalone endurance events. The proliferation of GT3, built on more than a decade of manufacturer involvement and SRO’s Balance of Performance stability, has resulted in it becoming the de facto senior class for all of the world’s most prestigious GT races. This, as well as using the same Pirelli tyres, offers manufacturers an incentive to compete in all such events by employing regional customer teams without the expense of freighting cars around the world.

Fans soak up the magic of Monza as Mercedes-AMG scores first Endurance Cup win at iconic Italian venue

• Huge crowds and a fantastic festive atmosphere make Monza a major success

• Auer/Cairoli/Engel take overall victory for Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter

• AlManar Racing by WRT (BMW), Century (BMW) and Rutronik (Porsche) take class wins

• Next stop Spa-Francorchamps for 77th CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa

RESULT: MONZA

With an attendance of 40,336 a festival atmosphere in the Fan Zone and an action-packed race on the track, this weekend's GT World Challenge powered by AWS event at Monza exceeded expectations on every level.

It reached its crescendo on Sunday afternoon as three hours of intense competition brought the spectators to their feet. Overall victory went to the #48 Mercedes-AMG Team Mann-Filter crew of Matteo Cairoli, Maro Engel and Lucas Auer, giving the German manufacturer its first-ever Endurance Cup win at Monza – and a major boost ahead of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa (25–29 June).

Monza has been a near constant on the GT World Challenge schedule since 2011, but never before has this historic Italian venue felt so energised. The weather played its part: clear blue skies and sunshine meant that fans could take full advantage of everything the weekend had to offer.

"GT World Challenge gives you a chance to experience the cars up-close; you can't do this at other race weekends," said one fan, who was attending for the third year in a row. "The atmosphere is really nice," added another, making her first visit with a group of friends. "It's very free; you see things that you don't normally get to see."

On the track, it was a Mercedes-AMG masterclass. The #48 Team Mann-Filter machine ran second throughout the first half of the race, Maro Engel keeping a close watch over the #17 Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed entry driven by Jules Gounon. Either would have been a worthy winner, but the timing of a mid-race Full-Course Yellow period played into the hands of the #48 crew.

By stopping while the race was neutralised the Mann-Filter car – now driven by Cairoli – was able to pull a big advantage during the second stint. Indeed, when he handed over to Auer for the final reckoning it was simply a case of managing the gap to the finish, giving Mercedes-AMG its maiden GT World Challenge win on Italian soil.

But a dream one-two slipped away. The #17 GetSpeed car had fought back up to second place thanks to a charging stint from Fabian Schiller, only for the front-right wheel to come loose following the final pit stop. "I feel for GetSpeed because they did a great race and it's tough to see them go out for that," said Engel afterwards.

For Cairoli, the win was all the sweeter as it came on home soil and on his 29th birthday: "I couldn't be happier at the moment," said the Italian. "It's my home race, so this is the best gift of the day. We were competitive from the beginning of the weekend and we kept it clean throughout the race. We deserve it."

McLaren finished as runner-up, securing an overall Endurance Cup podium for the first time in seven years thanks to the #59 Garage 59 line-up of Kirchhöfer/Goethe/Loake. Aston Martin made it two British brands in the top three with defending CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa winners Drudi/Sørensen/Thiim in the #7 Comtoyou Racing car.

The #777 AlManar Racing by WRT BMW took the Gold Cup win and fourth overall following a magnificent drive from 28th on the grid. "The guys did an amazing job; the team was great with the strategy and I'm over the moon," said Al Faisal Al Zubair, who shared the winning car with Ben Tuck and Jens Klingmann.

Silver Cup honours also went to a BMW as Century Motorsport claimed its maiden Endurance Cup triumph. After stints from Jarrod Waberski and Will Moore, Mex Jansen handled the final run to the chequered flag. "This was the most difficult stint I've done in my life!" said the exhausted Dutchman. "My legs are shaking! We didn't get the result we wanted in qualifying, so this is mega revenge. I'm really looking forward to Spa after this!"

Loek Hartog made it two exhausted Dutch drivers after combining with Antares Au to secure the Bronze Cup win for Rutronik Racing, the two-driver crew finishing a fantastic 10th overall "This is my first time at Monza and my first season in GT World Challenge Europe," said a delighted Au. "I have a great team and a great co-driver."

As the sun dipped closer to the Monza grandstands, it was setting on Andrea Bertolini's incredible professional racing career. The legendary Italian was fourth in the Bronze Cup class, narrowly missing the podium but still taking the chequered flag aboard the #52 AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors Ferrari.

For the rest of the grid the next challenge is the biggest one of all: the 77th CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. A record 76-car field will tackle the marquee race, which will be preceded by a week of activities both on and off the Ardennes circuit. From the first track action on Tuesday to Wednesday's parade, three nights of music and the biggest GT race in the world, it promises to be unforgettable.

Victory with Green moves JMR’s Ibrahim back into title contention

• Corvette converts pole into second win of the season

• Ibrahim leads home Silver-Am winners Team KRC

• Uno and Garage 75 collect Silver and Am class spoils

RACE 2 RESULT

Prince Jefri Ibrahim moved himself back into GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS title contention with a lights-to-flag Race 2 victory alongside Ben Green at Chang International Circuit in Thailand.

The latter also set fastest lap to complete the Corvette squad’s perfect performance on a day when erstwhile championship leaders Bob Yuan and Leo Ye suffered their second non score of a frustrating weekend. Indeed, Ibrahim now tops the overall standings by six points at the halfway stage of this year’s 12-round campaign.

Pole-man Green led front row colleague Maxime Oosten throughout the opening stint before Ibrahim exited the pits just ahead of the Team KRC BMW now driven by Ruan Cun Fan. The pair then circulated together, just as their co-drivers had done, for the remainder of the race. 0.3s separated them at the chequered flag.

Climax Racing’s Mercedes-AMG shared by Mike Zhou and Ralf Aron made up for Saturday’s disappointment by completing the overall podium right behind KRC’s crew.

There was also redemption for Uno Racing. The car retired at the start of yesterday’s race but rebounded in the hands of Rio and Shaun Thong to score its first Silver victory of the year.

Further back, David Tjiptobiantoro crossed the line just ahead of Ben Porter to claim Am victory for himself and Garage 75 co-driver Christian Colombo.

Alex Peroni and Mark Rosser win Queensland Raceway Race 2

• Team BRM’s Alex Peroni and Mark Rosser win Race 2 of GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS’ visit to Queensland Raceway;

• Renee Gracie remains the benchmark in the Am Cup, winning the class again in her OnlyFans Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II;

• Paul Stokell and Gary Higgon held on to clean sweep the Trophy Class honours for

the EVENTelec GT Festival Queensland round.

RACE RESULT

Alex Peroni and Mark Rosser have taken victory in Race 2 of GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS at Queensland Raceway.

Starting from the front row alongside the Kelso Electrical/Team MPC Audi R8 LMS EVO II of Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher, Peroni capitalised on Feeney’s sluggish getaway to seize the lead off the line—and never looked back, holding the top spot for the remainder of the race.

Sharing the Team BRM Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, Peroni and Rosser ultimately held off a fast-finishing Team MPC entry of Brendon Leitch and Tim Miles, crossing the line just three-tenths of a second ahead.

Once again taking victory in the Am Cup was Renee Gracie in her OnlyFans Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, with Paul Stokell and Gary Higgon holding on to take trophy class honours in their KFC Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO I.

In what was a highly interrupted race, the first of three BMW Safety Car periods was brought out just 10 minutes into the outing, as 111 Racing's, Darren Currie spun at Turn 1 and found the gravel.

Shortly after, Luke Youlden brought his Porsche 911 GT3 R (991) into the pit lane for an unscheduled pit stop, which turned into a retirement from the race, leaving Paul Stokell in the trophy class lead following a spirited battle.

For the second day in a row, pit stop trouble took the Volante Rosso Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 of Declan Fraser and Liam Talbot out of contention after electrical issues prevented the car from restarting after their pit stop, putting them a lap down.

Upon taking over the Team BRM Audi, Mark Rosser went on to build a nearly 12-second lead over Tim Miles in the Team MPC Audi, until the second BMW Safety Car was called for Gary Higgon spinning his KFC/Team MPC Audi at Turn 1.

Rosser was able to hold on with superior car speed through one more yellow flag period as Miles was hunted down by Schumacher.

The Team MPC Audi of Feeney and Schumacher was not as comfortable on cold tyres and directly after restarts, but once they entered a long green flag period, both drivers could extract the same pace seen in Race 1.

Things went from bad to worse for Talbot later in the race when he spun exiting Turn 4 and again struggled to get the car started, bringing out the final BMW Safety Car of the race.

Renee Gracie did not put a foot wrong in her race, never being troubled for the class lead.

Theo Koundouris and James Koundouris in the Supabarn Supermarkets/Tigani Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO held their own, taking out second place in class, while Darren Currie and Grant Donaldson reverted to treating the race as a test event after Currie’s spin early on, gaining valuable experience for the remainder of their season.

Following Luke Youlden and Nathan Halstead’s retirement, all Paul Stokell and Gary Higgon had to do was bring the car home and finish the race to take out the trophy class race win, and despite a spin for Higgon, they managed to do exactly that, sweeping the weekend in the process.

The GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS heads to Sandown Raceway for GT Festival Sandown on July 25–27.

Eventful race wraps up Monochrome GT4 Australia Queensland Raceway visit

• Rylan Gray and George Miedecke claim Silver Cup victory in Miedecke Motorsport with Lubrimaxx Ford Mustang GT4

• Reigning champion Jacob Lawrence guides Randall Racing BMW M4 GT4 G82 to AM Cup win

• Cameron Crick and Dean Campbell charge through to Silver-Am victory in DA Campbell Transport Ford Mustang GT4

RACE RESULT

Monochrome GT4 Australia experienced another eventful race at Queensland Raceway as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries’ EVENTelec GT Festival Queensland on Sunday morning following a memorable Race 1 on Saturday afternoon.

Similar to Race 1, the BMW Safety Car was brought out multiple times during the highly interrupted affair with six retirements, as all three classes saw different drivers stand on the top step of the podium.

Silver Cup
Rylan Gray and George Miedecke took out top honours in Silver Class after an entertaining race saw the Miedecke Motorsport with Lubrimaxx Ford Mustang GT4 defending multiple Safety Car restarts and challenges.

Having had a strong start to the race overall, both Miedecke and Gray each produced stellar stints to secure the victory, as they eventually came out on top over the JGI Triple Eight Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4 of Jarrod Hughes and Summer Rintoule.

Claiming third place for the final race of the weekend was Nash Morris and Zoe Woods in the TekworkX Motorsport / ZW Racing Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS as the top three were separated by just over half a second.

In what was a dramatic race from start to finish, Miedecke found himself in a tight battle with Method Motorsport’s Max Geoghegan in the McLaren Artura GT4 as the two went wheel to wheel for a number of laps before contact between the two saw the Ford Mustang drop to second.

Geoghegan’s Method Motorsport teammate Lochie Hennock soon ended up beached in the gravel, bringing out the BMW Safety Car and giving everyone a chance to pit.

While the majority of the field chose to pit, a decision to keep Geoghegan out on track eventually cost Method Motorsport the lead as they tumbled down the order when they eventually came through and Tom Hayman took over.

At the front of the field, Gray came out on top and blasted away ahead of the group before having to defend his lead against Hughes towards the end of the race when the Safety Car was brought out again.

Despite Hughes’ best efforts to grab the lead, Gray held on to secure the victory for the Ford Mustang.

Am Cup
Just like the Silver Cup, the Am Cup went right down to the wire with reigning champion Jacob Lawrence claiming the victory over Method Motorsport’s Nathan Callaghan and Chris Lillis.

Running in the Randall Racing BMW M4 GT4 G82, Lawrence was locked in a tight duel with the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS of Callaghan and Lillis throughout the whole race – the latter pair taking minor honours in the first battle before Lawrence stormed back into the lead in the final stages.

Starting the race from second place behind Shane Smollen, Lawrence couldn’t get ahead of the #1 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS during the first stint of the race before dropping behind Lillis following the first Safety Car period as a result of going wide.

While Lillis went into his stop ahead of Lawrence, the reigning champion slowly worked his way back into contention and eventually got the move done on Callaghan to take the lead.

Lawrence went on to hold on for the win, crossing the line ahead of Callaghan by five tenths after the late restart, while Jamie Arratoon guided his AR Nineteen Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4 to a second consecutive podium.

Silver-Am Cup
A consistent Cameron Crick and Dean Campbell claimed the victory in Silver-Am Cup after an incredible rise up the field for the duo, having started from the back of the grid.

Taking out second place was the Gomersall Motorsport Ford Mustang of Aaron Seton and Jason Gomersall, while Buckby Motorsport’s Lochie Dalton and Ben Newman rounded out the class podium in their Mercedes-AMG GT4.

Behind the wheel of the DA Campbell Transport Ford Mustang GT4, it was Campbell who had a strong start to the race and slowly navigated his way up the order as a result of the multiple incidents before handing to Crick, who continued that momentum and picked off drivers one by one.

The pair were able to take advantage of a number of incidents involving class rivals, including the Ginetta G56 GT4 of Lachlan Mineeff and Rob Rubis after contact with Daniel Frougas in the GWR Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO 2.

Monochrome GT4 Australia now has a lengthy break before Round 4 of the 2025 season as part of GT Festival Sandown in July.

Last lap pass earns Yu and Cheng first victory of 2025

• FAW Audi Sport Asia Team Phantom beats Winhere Harmony to Race 1 win

• Class victories for Origine, 5ZIGEN and EBM

RACE 1 RESULT

Yu Kuai swept around the outside of Deng Yi on the final lap to claim his, Cheng Congfu and FAW Audi Sport Asia Team Phantom’s first GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS win of the season at Chang International Circuit in Thailand.

An hour earlier the same two Silver class cars, albeit driven by pole-sitter Luo Kailuo and Cheng, collided as the lights turned from red to green. But with damage from front-to-back contact minimal, both were able to continue en route to a grandstand finish.

Lu Wei and Bastian Buus completed the overall podium and won Pro-Am in Origine’s #4 Porsche after a post-pitstop Safety Car period bunched up the leading contenders.

A scrappy first lap ended the hopes of several big hitters, including Phantom’s Anthony Liu and Uno’s Rio who started second and fourth respectively, while this year’s standout Silver-Am entry – Team KRC’s BMW – was also spun around several corners later.

That helped Team 5ZIGEN’s Nissan shared by Hirobon and Yu Kanamaru to claim their first Silver-Am victory of the season in sixth overall behind JMR’s #99 Corvette and the second Audi Sport Asia Team Phantom R8.

Further back, EBM’s Setiawan Santoso and Martin Berry beat Garage 75’s David Tjiptobiantoro and Christian Colombo to Am class spoils.

Parc de Sept Heures and Galerie Léopold II to host CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Parade

o The centre of the traditional CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Parade moves to a historic monument for the 2025 edition

o Join the festivities on Wednesday 25 June to launch the 77th edition of the world's greatest GT race

It is an unmissable moment for all fans of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. At 18:00 on Wednesday 25 June, a huge fleet of GT cars from the 24 Hours and the support races will leave the paddock at Spa-Francorchamps, taking the road linking the ‘the most beautiful circuit in the world’ with the town of Spa. Along the route, spectators will gather in their thousands to enjoy this unique experience. They arrive, sometimes several hours in advance, with picnic tables and refreshments, not wanting to miss a thing: the GT cars participating in the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, in the support races, as well as supercars and other exceptional vehicles.

When they arrive in town, the cars are lined up and the drivers emerge to meet the public, who can enjoy this event completely free of charge. A new feature has been introduced for the 77th CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa: on Wednesday 25 June, many of the cars will take their place in the majestic Parc de Sept Heures, built in the mid-18th century for the guests staying in the original spa town.

But that's not all. By placing the cars in the Parc de Sept Heures (as well as the Place Royale, which was used previously), SRO Motorsports Group will move the entire Parade hub a little further west, with interviews, autograph sessions, and other events now taking place under the Galerie Léopold II. Dating from 1878, this impressive, covered gallery has recently been renovated and is part of Wallonia's extraordinary heritage. As such, it will provide a truly unique setting.

"More than ever, the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Parade will embrace the history of the city of Spa," says Laurent Gaudin, General Manager of the world's biggest GT race. "Free to the public, our Parade attracts more than 10,000 people and stands out for its friendly atmosphere. Fans can touch the cars, take photos with the drivers, chat with them. This shared experience reflects our event as a whole: open and accessible to the public. I would like to thank the city of Spa, and in particular its new Mayor Nicolas Tefnin and his entire team, for the trust they have placed in us. I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 25 June!”

The day after the Parade, the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa competitors will get down to business with Free Practice, Pre-Qualifying, Qualifying, and Night Practice. On Friday, the Superpole will set the top 20 positions on the starting grid for the 77th CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, which gets underway at 16:30 on Saturday 28 June. The race will feature non-stop entertainment, with concerts every evening from Thursday to Saturday, a fireworks display, exhibitions, a Ferris wheel, and more.

Rain brings drama to opening Monochrome GT4 Australia race in Queensland

• Shane Smollen guides Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS to Am Cup victory in incident-filled Race 1.

• Ash Seward Motorsport’s Cody Burcher and Tim Leahey take out Silver Cup win following multiple post-race penalties.

• GWR’s Daniel Frougas and Tim Berryman pick up Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO 2’s first Monochrome GT4 Australia win.

RACE RESULT

A dramatic first Monochrome GT4 Australia Race at Queensland Raceway has ended prematurely after a spectacular crash involving series debutant Ryan Hansford brought out the red flag.

With heavy rain falling over the Ipswich-based circuit during the series’ sole race of the day, the BMW Safety Car spent plenty of time on track in the highly interrupted affair.

And while the drama on the track was hot, no less than six cars were handed post-race penalties across the three classes.

Am Cup

Shane Smollen was one of the stars of the show during Race 1 as the Method Motorsport driver took out the Am Cup and ended up in top spot overall.

Having displayed a solid amount of pace early on in the day during qualifying, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS was on another level on Saturday afternoon when it came to the race. After the post-race penalties took effect, Smollen ended up 14 seconds ahead of the next best crew in 99motorsport’s Marcus LaDelle and Jarrod Keyte in the Ford Mustang GT4.

Taking out third place for the class was Jamie Arratoon in his Mercedes-AMG GT4. The AR Nineteen Motorsport driver scored his first podium in the category since joining at the start of the year despite being handed a five second penalty.

Unfortunately, the class was responsible for one of the multiple Safety Car periods as Gomersall Motorsport’s Glenn Walker made contact with Arratoon’s AR Nineteen Motorsport team-mate Mark Griffith midway through the race. Both drivers failed to finish the race.

Silver Cup

From the first lap to the final moments of the race, the Silver Cup drivers were heavily involved in the drama throughout Race 1 as Ash Seward Motorsport’s Cody Burcher and Tim Leahey were deemed winners at the final classification.

Second place was the #25 Method Motorsport McLaren Artura GT4 of Tom Hayman and Max Geoghegan despite receiving a 33-second penalty, while Jarrod Hughes and Summer Rintoule picked up their second top three finish after also receiving a penalty.

Right from the get-go, the incidents piled up with pole sitter Audi driver Blake Purdie and Mercedes fast man Jake Camilleri both crashing out on the opening lap. Camilleri slid off the track and ended in the wall just seconds before Purdie was tapped from behind and sent spinning into the tyre barrier.

The second Method Motorsport McLaren Artura GT4 of Lochie Hennock and Nathan Morcom was involved with the Ryan Hansford crash at the end of the race, with Hennock making contact with Hansford that resulted in the incident.

It was a race to forget for the pair after they received their first penalty for a safety car breach early before receiving another penalty for Hennock’s involvement with Hansford.

Silver Cup

GWR’s Daniel Frougas and Tim Berryman finished with a surprise victory in the wake of the multiple penalties handed out post-race – marking the first victory for the Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO 2 in the category.

While Hansford and Aaron Cameron were granted the provisional win despite their big crash, with red flag rulings coming into play – a 33-second post-race penalty saw them drop to second in class.

The Ford Mustang ended up being classified ahead of the Chris White and Tony Quinn Toyota Supra EVO 2, which marked a highly successful day for the Japanese marque.

Rounding out the top five was a pair of Ford Mustang GT4s with Gomersall Motorsport’s Aaron Seton and Jason Gomersall leading the way from Cameron Crick and Dean Campbell across the line.

Monochrome GT4 Australia continues today with Race 2 at 9:45am AEST.

BMW seizes control in global contest

• Bavarian brand holds sizeable advantage over chasing pack

• Porsche leads Toyota, Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG in close fight for second

GT4 MANUFACTURER RANKING POINTS

A sustained run of strong showings from its customer teams around the world has helped BMW to establish a commanding lead at the top of the GT4 Manufacturer Ranking table.

The Bavarian brand clinched the inaugural title last year and already appears on course to defend its crown. With 35 of 99 races in the books its closest challenger, Porsche, is down by 193 points, a gap that has more than doubled since the middle of May. There have been plenty of opportunities to score of late, none more so than the weekend of 26/27 April, which saw a quartet of GT4 series in action.

The foundation of BMW’s success is consistency: it has scored well on a metronomic basis, whereas its rivals’ results have been more variable.
