GRIDLIFE Touring Cup GLTC

Single-Class Sprint Racing

GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC) is a wheel-to-wheel sprint racing series that focuses on single-class sprint racing. The mantra of the series is “race for the racing, not for the result” while allowing drivers and teams to build the car they want to build in an open “time attack” style ruleset. GLTC is a power to weight class, where all cars are built to 12.5 lbs/HP, then add or remove weight percentage modifiers for aero, drivetrain, and other modifications. This allows for an enormous variety of builds to compete in a fast-paced, spectator focused racing event at GRIDLIFE’s Festival Tour Weekends. Races are 12-15 minutes, run four times a weekend, and livestreamed to GRIDLIFE Live. The series focuses on ensuring clean, fair racing throughout the grid.
