This series is currently in the planning stages, below are the current proposals as of 14/07/2016
The Global Touring Car Championship (GTCC) is Challenge Racing's premiere Touring Car series, and is a reimagining of the ETCC series that ran for many successful seasons when we used to manage EFM. This series follows a slightly different format than you may usually be used to. The main championship consists of two smaller sub-championships; European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) and American Touring Car Championship (ATCC), this allows drivers that have missed the start of the season, missed races, made a poor car choice or had bad luck still have something to compete for. In addition to those changes, this series also has the addition of a standalone special event at the end of the season.
