Grand Touring 1

#33 VergilRacing (Corvette)

Winners in the Season 1 GTC championship. A dominant performance in Season 1 may not continue with a stronger field for Season 2. Thus, VergilRacing still got the upper hand in GT1 and is definitely a contender for the win.

#35 SuperSport Racing (Corvette)

7th place in GTC from driving in just two races + 3 Did Not Starts tells a story of their capabilities but also a need for a more stable roster. The speed is there and a more focused team is back for more blood.

#41 SRN Motorsports (Corvette)

2nd place in GTC. With finishes no lower than 4th place in Season 1, this team knows the DNA of endurance racing. It is expected that SRN Motorsports will continue their stable performance in S2 in the GT1.

6th place in Season 1 with a 2nd place at COTA shows their potential. Focus is on getting the most out of bad races and raising the general performance.

#55 IRDK Endurance (Corvette)

With a stronger field for Season 2 the expectations are to improve on general performance and earning some valuable points in each race. A 2nd place at Interlagos means the team can indeed reach for top 5 with solid driving.

#60 The Dart Frogs (Aston)

3rd place in GTC Season 1. With additions to the roster but a stronger competition, The Dart Frogs may face the same scenario as last season, in which the competition for the vital points is tough. A top 5 should be doable.

#64 Fenix Motorsports (Corvette)

4th place in GT last season including a win at COTA tells something about the strength of this team. The team merged with New World Sim Sport and used one invitation to switch their #64 team to GT1 where they will face a strong competition.

#69 Falcon-GP (Aston Martin)

2nd place in GES Season 1 with a win at Interlagos and 2nd places at Sebring and Road Atlanta. We are sure this team can challenge VergilRacing and it will be interesting to see their fight for top 3.

Grand Touring 2

#73 Fenix Motorsport FGT

After merging with New World Sim Sport this team knows what it takes to win the championship. But GT2 will be an even stronger field this season, so the #73 has to be smart, quick and trouble-free all season to claim victory.

#78 SimRC.de

Additions to the Season 1 5th placed team means they are well prepared for Season 2. An improvement on their bad races and a better general performance can take this team far.

#80 KRT GT Motorsport

The 5th placed GTC team switches to GT2 for Season 2, in which they will drop right into the heat of the battle. They will need to fight hard for vital points, but a 2nd place at Road Atlanta shows their potential.

Virus has also switched class from GTC (8th place) to GT2. They will need to improve on stability but has shown speed potential several times so a top 8 is within reach.
