The best race ingredients in one championship

The French FFSA GT Championship has always brought together most of the best ingredients of the French circuit: in addition to the reference teams, several well-known drivers take part each year, such as Olivier Panis, Anthony Beltoise and David Hallyday. Since 2017, the French FFSA GT Championship has also enjoyed an international reputation thanks to its integration into the GT4 European Series.

Start your engines: the sprint race is back!

Launched in 2021 by the Fédération Française du Sport Automobile and organised by SRO Motorsports Group, the FFSA Tourism Championship responds to a demand: the return of sprint races for touring cars in France. Faithful to the values that have made GT3 and GT4 so successful, the "TC France" – as it is called in short – guarantees both technical fairness and costs that are as limited as possible, without ever neglecting the quality of the six meetings on the programme for season which has recently started. During two 30-minute sprints, two races within the race are proposed. One for the TC class cars, which develop around 300hp. The second race is for the TCAs, which have around 200hp. The cars in the more affordable TC Light class also compete in this category. To highlight the women, amateurs, professionals and juniors who take part, a series of trophies is awarded at the end of each meeting. The homologated cars are either from single-make promotion cups or very close to the series.
