While there are still a few more rounds remaining in the current championship season, the anticipation is already building for 2026 as SRO America prepares for an exciting wave of changes as a new chapter is about to begin.
With the recently announced addition of Road Atlanta to the calendar and as well as the return of beloved tracks, the response has been exceptionally positive, and competitors are already making plans for next season.

SRO America’s premier GT racing series continues to evolve, and recent format changes have re-energized the paddock.

Beyond the U.S. stage, competitors are racing for more than trophies. The Level Up award offers a direct path to the legendary CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, while each entry also contributes points toward the Global GT World Challenge Manufacturers’ Championship.
“We are excited to be preparing for the 2026 season in GT World Challenge America powered by AWS,” Flying Lizard Motorsports Team Principal, Darren Law said. “The series has introduced several strategic updates for the upcoming year, including revisions to race formats and a more streamlined race weekend schedule. These are key factors in our decision not only to continue in the championship but also to expand the number of entries we plan to field in 2026.”
