2022 GT America Series

The 2022 GT America Series will be the second season of the SRO Motorsports Group's GT America Series, an auto racing series for grand tourer cars. The races are contested with GT2-spec, GT3-spec and GT4-spec cars. The season will begin on April 15 at Sonoma and end on October 9 at Indianapolis.

Calendar

The preliminary calendar was released on September 4, 2021, featuring seven rounds.[1] On October 10, 2021, the SRO announced that the round at Virginia International Raceway would be postponed one week to avoid a clash with the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] In December, the SRO announced an additional round to be run alongside the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in February.[3]
