GT racing

Grand touring motorsport

GT racing is a form of motorsport featuring grand touring cars—high-performance vehicles derived from road-legal sports cars rather than purpose-built race machines.

The GT designation comes from the Italian "gran turismo," meaning cars designed for both speed and long-distance comfort.

GT racing encompasses various series and classes, from professional championships like the FIA World Endurance Championship to amateur competitions: He moved from karting to GT racing after college.
