2020 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup

The 2020 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup will be the seventh season of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup following on from the demise of the SRO Motorsports Group's FIA GT1 World Championship (an auto racing series for grand tourer cars), the first after title sponsor Blancpain withdrew sponsorship. The season will begin on 2 May at Brands Hatch and will end on 11 October at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. This season the GT Sports Club Europe will be brought into the GT World Challenge Europe, meaning the Bronze-focused GT3 and GT2 series will share grids with the headlining series.[1]
