Motor racing competition season
The 2024 Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia Powered by AWS is the sixth season of the GT World Challenge Asia , an auto racing series for grand tourer cars in Asia , co-promoted by the SRO Motorsports Group and Team Asia One GT Management. The races are contested with GT3-spec cars only, as the GT4 class was dropped from the series and moved to the Japan Cup Series . The season began on 20 April at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia and is scheduled to end on 15 September at Shanghai International Circuit in China .[ 1]
Starting from this season, the Japan Cup Series is separated from the main GTWCA race, and would run as a stand alone race.[ 1]
