2019 Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe


The 2019 GT World Challenge Europe was the seventh season of the GT World Challenge Europe following on from the demise of the SRO Motorsports Group's FIA GT1 World Championship, the first with the sponsorship of Blancpain. The season began on 4 May at Brands Hatch and ended on 8 September at the Hungaroring. It was the first season of the unification of GT3 sprint series across the globe under the World Challenge name.

Calendar

At the annual press conference during the 2018 24 Hours of Spa on 27 July, the Stéphane Ratel Organisation announced the first draft of the 2019 calendar. Zolder was initially replaced by the Red Bull Ring, before Zandvoort was chosen to host a race weekend. The Endurance Cup round in Barcelona would become an World Challenge Europe round, replacing the round at the Nürburgring, before the two tracks were swapped around again in the final draft of the calendar released on 22 October.
