2008 FIA GT Championship

(Redirected from 2008 FIA GT Championship season)

The 2008 FIA GT Championship season was the twelfth season of the FIA GT Championship. It featured a series for Grand Touring style cars broken into two classes based on power and manufacturer involvement, called GT1 and GT2. Invitational G2 and G3 classes were also allowed to participate but cars in these classes were not eligible to score points. The Championship began on 20 April 2008 and ended on 23 November 2008 after 10 races.

The AF Corse entered Ferrari F430 GT2 of Gianmaria Bruni & Toni Vilander at the Zolder round of the championship. AF Corse won the GT2 Teams title and Bruni & Vilander won the GT2 Drivers award.

Schedule edit

The official 2008 calendar was released by the FIA on 24 October 2007.[1] All races were two hours, with exception of the Spa 24 Hours and the Bucharest City Challenge, the latter being a combination of two one-hour races, each awarding half points. The Adria round remained as a night event and the Argentinian finale was the first South American race in FIA GT Championship history.
