• MCKENZY CRESSWELL steps into the big leagues as the GT4 Winter Series champion joins defending GT4 European Series champion Josh Rattican at Elite Motorsport. The duo will pilot the lead McLaren Artura in Silver class, where Cresswell gets to prove her winter success translates to the main stage against 20 other teams gunning for Elite’s unprecedented back-to-back title defense.
• GABRIELA JILKOVA and CINDY GUDET are serving up something we love to see – an all-female crew in Pro-Am class piloting Matmut Évolution’s Toyota GR Supra GT4. While the series has crowned 42 different champions since 2017, having women represented in the title chase adds the kind of competitive depth that makes everyone step up their game.
• The 43-car field kicks off April 11-13 at Circuit Paul Ricard with live coverage on GT World YouTube, giving us front-row seats to watch these rising stars take on established champions across Silver, Pro-Am, and Am classes. With defending teams facing fresh challenges and newcomers bringing serious credentials, this season opener promises the kind of racing that builds careers and settles scores.
