Calendar

The calendar was provisionally unveiled on 28 June 2024. In a change from the 2024 schedule, the season will start and end with a 2-hour round at Donington Park with Oulton Park moving to the third round, at the request of the teams because of weather issues, however, the race will stay on a Bank Holiday but moving from Easter Monday to the Spring bank holiday at the end of May, and Donington Park moving to the penultimate round. The international round will stay at Spa as part of the SRO's Speedweek. [1] Another change from prior seasons is the moving of the media day from Donington Park to Silverstone. [2]

The series introduced a four round endurance cup, limited to GT4 entries. The endurance cup consists of the opening and closing rounds at Donington Park, as well as the rounds at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. [3]
