2027 San Aae GT Championship

24 Rounds · Eight Chapters · Pure GT3

The 2027 San Aae GT Championship is built as a continuous gauntlet: twenty-four GT3 races, divided into eight chapters of four rounds each. Every chapter is a distinct psychological and geographical trial. Every race is a step deeper into the fire.

There are no filler classes, no support series taking the spotlight, and no time-based endurance marathons. Just GT3 machinery, GT-Premier and GT-Pro , running a full-season pilgrimage across North America.

Both divisions run the same step GT3 cars, the only difference is the competition Level.

A Championship Built in Chapters

The San Aae GT Championship is structured as a long-form competitive season, divided into chapters to establish cadence, continuity, and strategic depth.

Each chapter has its own identity, terrain, and rhythm. Together, they form a single continuous story from opening fire to final flag.

Each round contributes directly to championship standings. There are no exhibition races and no “throwaway” weekends.

  • 8 Chapters

  • 3 Rounds per Chapter

  • Chapter 7 features 6 Rounds

  • A total of 24 Championship Rounds

The chapter system allows teams and drivers to:

  • Manage endurance across a long season

  • Reset mentally and strategically between chapters

  • Compete within a clear competitive rhythm

This format rewards preparation, reliability, and sustained execution.

The Journey from Fire to Summit

Chapter I – The Sunfire Gauntlet

“Every Champion’s Journey Starts in Fire.”

High-heat, high-commitment opening to the season. Fast sections, unforgiving mistakes, and no room for early complacency.

Chapter III — The Heartland Crucible

“Where Racecraft Outweighs Reputation”

Chapter II – The Forestline Crucible

“Where Skill is Forged in the Shadows.”

Technical circuits, heavy braking zones, and rhythm corners. Here, discipline and precision begin to separate contenders from participants.

To Be continued....

The Rhythm of a Race Weekend

  • Thursday — Arrival & Setup
    Team arrival, paddock setup, technical checks, and drivers’ briefing.

  • Friday — Practice
    Multiple practice sessions for Both GT Divisions. Teams learn the surface, tune setups, and build data.

  • Saturday — GT-Pro Race Day
    Defined qualifying sessions per division. No gimmicks. Clean, controlled, high-pressure runs against the clock.

  • Sunday — GT- Premier Race Day
    Full-distance, hard lap-count events — not time-capped endurance runs.

Two Divisions. One Championship Spine.

Both divisions run the full 24-round calendar:

  • GT- Premier(Sophomores, Veterans)  

    • Solo-driver

    • Maximum pressure, maximum exposure

    • Built for elite individual performance

  • GT-Pro (Rookies, Sophomores)

    • Solo Driver 

    • Strategy, teamwork, and consistency

    • Built for privateers and customer teams to rise

Every round counts toward its division’s championship standings. Chapter performance matters. Season-long consistency matters more.

Championship Classes

San Aae GT operates two professional classes under a single championship framework.

GT-Premier

GT-Premier is the premier class of San Aae GT.

This class is reserved for:

  • Veteran drivers

  • Proven competitors

  • Teams capable of executing at the highest level over an extended season

GT-Premier emphasizes:

  • Precision

  • Consistency

  • Strategic discipline

  • Minimal margin for error

This is where championships are defended, not learned.

GT-Pro

GT-Pro is a professional entry class designed for emerging drivers and developing teams.

This class exists to:

  • Provide a structured competitive environment

  • Allow rookies to prove consistency and discipline

  • Prepare teams for sustained championship competition

GT-Pro is not a casual or short-term category.
Drivers are expected to compete professionally and progress through results — not reputation.

Promotion & Demotion System

​All movement within San Aae GT is determined exclusively by championship points.

There is:

​

  • No discretionary promotion

  • No subjective judgment

  • No committee decisions

​

The system is automatic, transparent, and consequence-driven.

Teams and drivers control their own outcomes through performance alone.

​

Promotion & Demotion Framework​

At the conclusion of each championship season, the following movements apply:

​

GT-Pro → GT-Premier

​

  • Top 5 drivers in GT-Pro are promoted to GT-Premier

  • Promotion is mandatory and points-based

​

GT-Premier → GT-Pro

​

  • Bottom 5 drivers in GT-Premier are demoted to GT-Pro

  • There is no protection at the GT-Premier level

  • GT-1 is the top tier — performance is expected

​​

Once promoted into GT-Premier, drivers are competing in the highest class.
There are no safety nets.

​

GT-Pro → Waiting List 

​

  • Bottom 5 drivers in GT-Pro are demoted to the Waiting List

  • This represents a competitive reset, not exclusion

​

Waiting List → GT-Pro

​

  • Top 5 drivers on the Waiting List are promoted into GT-Pro

  • Entry is earned through results and readiness, not timing

​

The Waiting List functions as an active staging table, not a closed door.

Waiting List & Entry Staging

San Aae GT maintains a Waiting List for teams and drivers seeking entry.

This list is not a closed door and not a fixed-interval intake system.

​

The Waiting List functions as:

  • A staging table

  • A visibility mechanism for prospective entrants

  • A readiness assessment pipeline

​

Entries may be accepted as:

  • Grid availability opens

  • Competitive balance requires adjustment

  • Teams meet published eligibility standards

​

Qualified entrants are not forced to wait years for consideration.
Opportunity is aligned with preparedness and timing.

Rookie Protection Policy (Year One Only)​​

GT-Pro Rookie Protection

  • First-year rookies in GT-Pro are protected from demotion for one season

  • Rookie protection applies only to demotion into the Waiting List

  • Rookies may still earn promotion to GT-Premier through points

This protection exists to allow new entrants one full season to adapt to championship demands.

GT-Premier — No Protection

  • There is no rookie protection in GT-Premier

  • Promotion into GT-Premier places a driver in the top tier immediately

  • Performance expectations apply from the first round

GT-Premier is the highest level of San Aae GT competition.
Once you are there, results matter — immediately.

Sporting Philosophy​

The San Aae GT Championship operates on a single governing principle:

​

Results decide everything.

​

  • All movement is points-based

  • There is no outside judgment

  • There are no subjective evaluations

  • Consequences are competitive, not political

​

​

Results are earned through discipline, preparation, and execution — not through isolated performances.

Governance & Race Control

San Aae GT operates under a clearly defined authority structure.

  • The Race Director holds final authority on sporting matters

  • Stewarding is consistent and documented

  • Regulations are enforced as written

There are no ad hoc rule changes, no mid-season reinterpretations, and no external influence on competition outcomes.

Commitment & Expectations

San Aae GT is a professional championship and requires a professional mindset.

Teams and drivers are expected to:

  • Commit to the championship structure

  • Operate within published regulations

  • Uphold standards of conduct and competition

In return, the championship provides:

  • Predictability

  • Transparency

  • A stable competitive environment

The Long View

​San Aae GT is built deliberately.

The goal is not rapid expansion or temporary attention.
The goal is long-term credibility and competitive respect.

Growth is intentional.
Standards are not compromised.
