SRO GT2

SRO GT2 is a class of grand tourer racing cars maintained by the SRO Motorsports Group. Despite the name, this class slots between GT4 and GT3 in terms of performance. The cars have more power than GT3 cars, with the most powerful entries at nearly 700 horsepower. However, they have much less downforce than a GT3 car.

They should not be confused with the Group GT2 from the early 2000s, which evolved into the now-defunct LM GTE class.

The class uses a balance of performance to allow for close competition between competitors.

History

The new GT2 category was announced by the SRO in 2018. It was created as the GT3 category became more focused on downforce and also harder to drive for amateur drivers.[1] The GT2 cars would mainly focus on having a powerful engine with 640-700hp, which would be more powerful than a 560hp GT3 engine, while having low downforce more similar to the GT4 category.

The first GT2 race was a Porsche single-make event at the 2019 24 Hours of Spa, fielding the 911 GT2 RS Clubsport alongside a few Porsche 935s.[2] A second GT2 car, the Audi R8 LMS GT2, also made its public debut at the same time. The R8 GT2 saw its race debut at the 2019 GT Sports Club finale at Barcelona.[3]
