59 cars from 10 different brands have officially been entered, as 2026 is shaping up to be another landmark year for the SRO-run GTWC EU series.

Entries will compete across four categories with the Pro cup showcasing the very best the series has to offer, with drivers such as reigning champions Kelvin van der Linde and Charles Weerts, MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, recent Bathurst winner Maro Engel and more battling it out for overall honours.

As always there are the Gold and Silver Cups, blending experienced professionals with rising semi-professional drivers, such as Ugo de Wilde, recent single-seater convert Tim Tramnitz and Simon Gachet, while the Bronze Cup continues to embody the Pro-Am philosophy that underpins the success of GT World Challenge.
