GT Sport 2020-21 FIA Exhibition Series Schedules

The FIA Gran Turismo Championships start very soon, with the first events towards the end of August. So it’s time to check out the GT Sport 2020-21 FIA Exhibition series schedules, and plan your life accordingly.

All of the racing takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but initially the Nations Cup is midweek, with the Manufacturer Series at the weekend. That swaps from the end of September/start of October for round 6 until the final events in October, 2020.

Each day will have five slots running every 80 minutes, beginning from 1600 UTC (Europe) on Wednesdays and 1400 UTC on Saturdays. And it’s similar for the other regions (North America, Oceania, Asia and South America).

For each race there’s a 10 minute qualifying session, and there will also be a mandatory tire rule (with a 60 second penalty) in place for five of the Nations races and seven of the Manufacturers racers.

Most importantly, you’ll need to check with circuit and car combinations are being used each week to try and fit some practice in before competing, and honing your strategy.
