Race calendar and results

• An eight-round provisional calendar was revealed on 2 November 2012. ^[2] This was modified on 7 February 2013, ^[3] after GT Sport organisers, for practical and technical reasons, moved the Algarve event one week earlier and replaced the Hungaroring event with a race in Jerez, moving it two weeks earlier. All rounds will support the International GT Open series.
