Current season |
The GT World Challenge Australia, formerly known as the Australian GT Championship, is a Motorsport Australia-sanctioned national title for drivers of GT cars, held annually from 1960 to 1963, from 1982 to 1985 and from 2005. Each championship up to and including the 1963 title was contested over a single race and those after that year over a series of races. The categories which have contested the championship have not always been well defined and often have become a home for cars orphaned by category collapse or a sudden change in regulation.
As of 2024, the series uses the international GT3 rules.
For 2025, the GT World Challenge will be the headline category of a national race series organised by the category promoters, SRO Motorsports Group[1].
