“FROM DRIVER TO RACER”. SPECIAL PAGE FOR GENTLEMAN DRIVERS WISHING TO ENTER MOTOR RACING

As mentioned on the home page, trackdays.events is a platform dedicated to events organized for GT gentleman drivers/owners on the major European racetracks. There is no question of competition, even if everyone can have fun following or overtaking a friend driver, with the forms and respect due to the other.

However, some more experienced gentleman drivers are tempted to move on to the competition stage, always between gentleman drivers, but they don’t know how to do it. This section is dedicated to them. It brings some information about structures/championships we know. The list is not exhaustive. We will gladly complete it with any useful information.

· SRO MOTORSPORTS GROUP
→ https://www.sro-motorsports.com/

In 1995, the BPR Global GT Series was created, a championship devoted entirely to Grand Touring car racing, giving amateur drivers a chance to express themselves on the racetrack. A victim of its own success, the BPR championship, which bears the initials of its founders Jürgen Barth, Patrick Peter and Stéphane Ratel, became professionalized, came under the aegis of the Fédération Internationale and was transformed into the FIA GT Championship in 1997. In recent years, the FIA and FFSA have chosen SRO, the company founded by Stéphane Ratel, to organize various championships worldwide (GT3 Series, GT4 Series, GT2 Series, TC Series); we present two of them below. But don’t forget to visit the SRO website (link above) to discover their full range of services.
