The global GT3 & GT4 series — the long bet that closes the gap. The fastest production-based race cars on earth, in a world championship an American can drive in at home. Road Atlanta is home.
There is one truly global championship in car racing. It runs F1 cars — twenty-four rounds across five continents, three of them in America. The GT3 world has none. The fastest production-based race cars on earth do not have a world championship an American can drive in at home.
The GT Global Championship is built on a long bet — that this gap closes, and that it closes around a club whose members own the cars, drive the cars, and have decades to commit to the build. Road Atlanta is home — the first stop when the series comes. The calendar grows from there, one country at a time, with the right people and the patience to do it properly.
Intercontinental GT Challenge dropped its US round. WEC's LMGT3 class doesn't race in the United States. GT World Challenge fragments into regional series that never share a grid. No global GT3 championship includes America.
The defensible gap is specific: global, includes America, and open to the people who own and drive the cars — not only FIA-rated professionals. A championship built around the seat.
Audacious, but do-able with the right people and years of commitment. One co-founder to begin; one country added at a time. The trophy isn't a single race — it's the calendar that gets built.
The Championship runs GT3 and GT4 as a single multi-class field — the proven format of the world's best sports-car racing. GT4 is the on-ramp; GT3 is the apex. More cars, more drivers, a deeper grid.
The fastest production-based race cars on earth — Porsche, AMG, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and the rest of the marques, built to a single balanced specification. The headline class of the Championship.
Materially cheaper to buy and run than GT3 — the accessible entry point that lowers the cost of getting on the grid, brings in more cars and more people, and grows the field the Championship is built to fill.
GT3 and GT4, the marques you know, on the circuits that matter. This is the field the Championship is built to fill.
The concrete shape of the bet: a global season that runs across the calendar year — the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. One continent at a time, built toward 2028. Only Road Atlanta is confirmed. The rest is the ambition the calendar grows toward.
An aspirational championship calendar — a twelve-month, nine-round destination, not a confirmed schedule. Road Atlanta is home; the remaining circuits are the ambition the calendar grows toward. Continent spread: two USA, one Canada, one South America, two Europe, two Asia, one Australia.

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is the first stop when the series comes — 4.088 kilometers, twelve turns, and the esses that decide everything. It is where the build begins and the season returns. Every other round is a destination the calendar grows toward; this one is the foundation it grows from.
The Driving Club at Road Atlanta · Operating Home
The GT Global Championship is the long bet of The Paddock Society — a private, invite-only motorsports club. Bespoke track days are the core of the club; a portion of every membership funds building this championship. This is how customer GT3 racing has always been funded: the owner-drivers put the cars on the grid.
The grid is built from cars the members own and drive — gentleman-driver economics, the same model that funds customer GT3 racing the world over.
The club's core is the experience — bespoke track days and the network. A portion of every membership is directed at the long bet: building this championship, one round at a time.
Start at home, add a country a year, grow the grid with GT4 alongside GT3. With the right people and the patience to do it properly, the bet closes.
It is a planned worldwide racing series for GT3 and GT4 cars — the fastest production-based race cars on earth. It is the long-term project of The Paddock Society, built on a simple bet: there is one truly global championship in car racing and it runs F1 cars; the GT3 world has none, and this is the series built to close that gap.
Both. The Championship runs GT3 and GT4 together as a single multi-class field — the proven format of the world's best sports-car racing. GT4 is the accessible on-ramp; GT3 is the apex.
Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in Georgia is home — the first and confirmed stop. The wider ambition is a nine-round, six-country season across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, built toward 2028. Apart from Road Atlanta, those circuits are an aspiration the calendar grows toward, not a confirmed schedule.
Through membership of The Paddock Society. Bespoke track days are the core of the club; a portion of every membership funds building the championship. It is the way customer GT3 racing has always been funded — the owner-drivers put the cars on the grid.
The series is in its build phase. Road Atlanta is home today; the global calendar is the long bet, built one country at a time with the right people and the patience to do it properly. There is no fixed season date — the work now is assembling the cars, the drivers, and the circuits.
It is built around owner-drivers — the people who own and drive the cars, not only FIA-rated professionals. Participation is by invitation through The Paddock Society, a private, invite-only motorsports club.
The Championship is the bet. The Paddock Society is how it gets funded. Membership is by invitation.
