History

The first event took place at Vallelunga Circuit in Italy in 2019 and was won by Russia. [4] [5]

The 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 and 2022 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On 6 August 2021, the FIA announced that the 2022 event would be hosted at Circuit Paul Ricard in Marseille. It took place on 29–30 October 2022. [6] Russia was banned from participating in the 2022 edition because of its invasion of Ukraine. [7]
