THE GRIDLIFE
EXPERIENCE
MUSIC
Music is at the heart of the GRIDLIFE experience, bringing high-energy soundtracks to match the intensity on track. Whether it’s full-scale festival performances at select events or pop-up sets throughout the paddock, every GRIDLIFE weekend blends the sounds of motorsport with a vibrant music atmosphere. From DJ sets to live performances, expect a soundtrack that fuels the energy of the grid and keeps the vibe going all weekend long. Lineups vary by event and are announced closer to each date.
TIME ATTACK
The fastest Time Attack Cars in North America Battle for Lap time supremacy at the most high speed circuit in the States.
GRIDLIFE TrackBattle is our competitive time attack series where competitors race against the clock for fastest lap of the weekend. TrackBattle is designed so drivers can craft their track-weapon in one of seven classes.
GLTC
GRIDLIFE Touring Cup, The fastest growing Club Race series in the country. GLTC utilizes a carefully balanced 12:1 power-to-weight ratio to create ultra-competitive racing where setup ingenuity meets driver talent. FOUR intense races in one action packed weekend with over 50 cars in this incredibly diverse class of custom built touring cars.
GLGT
GRIDLIFE GT (GLGT) builds off of the success found with the 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. Utilizing a similar format to GLTC, with four 20-minute races throughout a weekend, GRIDLIFE GT ups the base power-to-weight ratio to 8.9 lbs/HP vs the 12.5 lbs/HP seen in Touring Cup. 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.
