Encouraged by the success of the Blancpain Endurance Series,
world-renowned Swiss watch manufacture Blancpain and the SRO Motorsports
Group decide at the end of 2013 to extend their partnership to the
Sprint series, previously promoted as the FIA GT Series, offering teams
and drivers the opportunity to compete for an overall Blancpain GT
Series title, linking sprint and endurance. The Blancpain GT Series runs
over 10 events with 5 endurance cup and 5 sprint cup races. The
objective of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, five events centred
around the Total 24 Hours of Spa, is to take GT3 cars into endurance
racing formats of three hours with two mandatory pit stops. The
Blancpain GT Series is mainly reserved for GT3 cars, applying the
principles of Balance of Performance and a driver categorisation system
successfully developed by SRO Motorsports Group. The Series comprises
the title of Blancpain GT Series Winner for Drivers and one title of
Blancpain GT Series Winner for Teams, which will be awarded overall as
well as in the Pro-Am and Am categories. It also includes Cups : the
Blancpain GT Series Sprint Overall, Pro-Am and Am Cup for Teams and
Drivers, the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Overall, Pro-Am and Am Cups
for Teams and Drivers, and the Blancpain GT Series Silver Cup for
Drivers.
