GT SPRINT RACING

GRIDLIFE GT (GLGT) builds off of the success found with the Eibach GRIDLIFE Touring Cup Series with a power-to-weight based rules formula with a focus on a driver’s ability to build the car they want, or use a chassis from one of several popular professional and amateur road racing series with minimal modification.

GRIDLIFE GT has a target power-to-weight ratio to 8.9 lbs/HP. Designed to welcome both existing homologations and garage-built cars, GRIDLIFE GT aims to showcase diversity and relatability for spectators in addition to providing intense and balanced competition across the GRIDLIFE calendar.

  • 200 treadwear tires for size availability and affordability
