INTRODUCTION
               Our 14th season!

               It was back in 2006 when GT Sport and
               former sportscar driver Jesús Pareja
               launched the series.

               Since then, the International GT Open has
               enjoyed constant expansion and a growing
               success, thanks to stable rules, controlled
               costs, excellent TV coverage and premium
               venues.

               Today, the International GT Open has
               established itself as reference Pro-Am racing
               GT series in Europe.
