With nearly three decades’ experience at the forefront of a continuously evolving industry, SRO Motorsports Group is the established global leader in GT racing. A busy 2021 season will see events staged under the SRO banner on five continents, highlighted by the prestigious Total 24 Hours of Spa. The company's expanding portfolio of series

includes Fanatec GT World Challenge Powered by AWS categories in Europe, America, Asia and Australia. Each retains its unique identity, while also allowing competing brands to dispute a global manufacturers’ title through their continental representatives. What’s more, a groundbreaking new initiative for 2021 will see virtual racing come together with the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS Endurance Cup, where a series of e-sports contests will count towards the real championship. Staged since 2016, the flagship Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli sees world-leading manufacturers compete through their local teams at marquee events across the globe. Considerable emphasis is placed on amateur competitors, too, with the GT Sports Club concept combining a relaxed environment with highly professional standards for drivers using GT2 and GT3 machinery. SRO also works with the FIA to organise and promote the FIA Motorsport Games, a multi-disciplinary event in which drivers compete in the colours of their national flag. A range of international and domestic series catering for GT2, GT3, GT4 and touring car machinery also form part of an extensive on-track programme, while the burgeoning sim racing scene has taken on considerable importance through the SRO E-Sport GT Series. In addition to promotion and organisation, the company operates the SRO Race Centre by MMC service facility at Circuit Paul Ricard, and provides the ultimate driving opportunities at world-renowned venues through Curbstone Track Events. Combining a passion for performance with industry-leading experience, SRO continues to play a key role in shaping the future of global GT racing.

20 years young! On 2 December 2005 the FIA, SRO and nine manufacturers assembled in Monte-Carlo for the official launch of GT3. Sportscar racing would never be the same again.

That day, and the test that followed at Circuit Paul Ricard, is recounted in a new, deep dive feature on sro-motorsports.com. It’s well worth 10 minutes of your time.

But in case you’re wondering: the launch featured Ascari, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Dodge, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Porsche and Venturi. Seven of those plus Ferrari contested the inaugural FIA GT3 European Championship campaign in 2006 before the series ultimately morphed into GT World Challenge Europe.

One of motorsport’s most liked and respected figures, as well as a cornerstone of customer GT racing’s success, Peter Wright, has died at the age of 79.

Principally an aerodynamicist and engineer, he was responsible for developing active suspension and the first ground effect Formula 1 car, the Lotus 79, during his career with Team Lotus.

But his significant contribution to motor racing stetches far wider thanks to another of his concepts, Balance of Performance, which now underpins all GT, sportscar and touring car racing around the world.

“I sometimes wonder how on earth I got involved in GT racing because it wasn’t my field at all, but recently I found an email that I had sent to Max Mosley a year or two before (2004), saying that the only way to run GT racing is to do Balance of Performance based on simulation,” Wright recalled in 2017.

SRO’s founder and CEO, Stephane Ratel, paid tribute to Wright: “It’s very sad. He was a great man both on a personal and professional level who achieved so much throughout his career. The Formula 1 achievements will naturally take centre stage but his legacy as the father of BoP along with Max Mosley has likely had a much wider impact on motor racing globally. Without it there would be no GT3, GT4, Hypercars or TCR. The sport owes him a debt of gratitude.”
