What the competition is
The championship’s official guide describes its multiclass structure and driver combinations. GT3 and GT4 are category labels rather than finishing positions. Driver grading, pit stops and event-specific duration affect the race context, so a one-driver sprint-racing model does not explain every entry. A car behind the overall leader can still lead its class.
Following the competition
Keep the category, car number and driver pairing with a race. The entry list establishes who is actually competing and in which class. For an Australian reminder, save the British circuit’s local date and distinguish qualifying from the race. When interpreting a leaderboard, compare within the relevant class before judging a team’s result.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| GT3 | One championship category. |
| GT4 | A separate class in the same event. |
| Driver pairing | Part of a car’s race identity. |
| Class position | Can differ substantially from overall position. |
