GT Summer Series by GEDLICH Racing launched for 2026

GEDLICH Racing proudly announces the next milestone in its continued growth and innovation within international motorsport. Building on the success of the renowned Winter Series, the company expands its portfolio with the launch of the GT Summer Series, marking its first-ever venture into summer racing for the 2026 season. This new championship promises to deliver the same level of excellence, competition, and passion that have become synonymous with the GEDLICH Racing name. GT Summer Series – Your Race, Your Glory.

After the successful growth and expansion of the Winter Series concept, GEDLICH Racing will now organise its first Summer Series, catering for a broad variety of GT machinery. The GT Summer Series will welcome the fastest GT machinery onto the grid. GT3-, GT4-, as well as classes for single-make offerings like the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Ferrari Challenge, Porsche Cup and McLaren Trophy will be eligible for the hot new racing series. The welcoming philosophy of the GT Winter Series will carry over to the GT Summer Series, as GTX and Cup X classes will also be established for cars that fit the series performance window beyond the main class structure.

The GT Summer Series race format will be similar to the format we know from the GT Winter Series and will feature a pair of 30-minute sprint races, as well as a 50-minute pitstop race. Prior to this, a pair of 15-minute qualifying sessions and free practice sessions will be held, while the option of test sessions ahead of the race weekend will also be available.

As with the GT Winter Series, the GT Summer Series will cater for leading teams and drivers of all experience levels. However, a particular focus is being placed on providing a platform where amateurs can fight for overall race victories in top-flight GT machinery.
Per-event entries will be available for € 4.000, marking the GT Summer Series as an affordable new option for GT teams across Europe. The calendar – to be revealed in the coming weeks – will focus on GEDLICH Racing’s home nation of Germany, as well as the best circuits in the surrounding Central- and Northern-European areas.
GEDLICH Racing intends to continue creating new options for teams across multiple disciplines in years to come, as was the case with their winter racing program. The GT Summer Series is the first racing series of GEDLICH Racing’s „Summer Series“.
Markus Gedlich, CEO and founder of GEDLICH Racing said: “The early success of the GT Winter Series spawned into a full package of Winter Series championships with different racing disciplines, and we aim to deliver a comparable package with the GT Summer Series project. We are excited to welcome teams familiar to GEDLICH Racing, as well as new competitors, into the inaugural GT Summer Series in 2026.”

Further details and official announcements regarding the GEDLICH Racing GT Summer Series will be released in the coming weeks, offering an in-depth look at what promises to be yet another highly anticipated addition to the international racing calendar.
