2022 GT World Challenge America

The 2022 Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS will be the sixteenth season of the United States Auto Club's GT World Challenge America, and the fifth under ownership of SRO Motorsports Group.

The season will begin at Sonoma on April 15th, and ends at Indianapolis on October 9th.

Calendar

The preliminary calendar was released on September 4, 2021, without disclosing the location of round 2.[1] On October 10, 2021, the SRO announced that Ozarks International Raceway would fill the vacancy in the schedule, pending FIA circuit homologation. The round at Virginia International Raceway was also postponed one week to avoid a clash with the 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2] On April 27, 2022, the SRO announced that Ozarks round was replaced with NOLA Motorsports Park on the same date due to the challenges related with infrastructure and supply chain.[3]
