The Grid
One field, three ways onto it. GT3 is the apex — invited teams, with an amateur in every car. GT4 is the Nations Class — one entry, one flag. The ladder is where gentleman drivers and privateer teams start. The founding grid is forming now.
Two grids by invitation. One ladder open by application. GT3 teams and national entries are invited by the championship. The ladder takes anyone who meets the standard. Number 000 is taken — the rest is forming now.
How You Get On The Grid
GT3 · By Invitation
The apex grid is invited, team by team. Every GT3 crew carries a Bronze-rated amateur, who qualifies the car — the gentleman driver races alongside the pros. Entry terms are set in direct conversation.
Nations Class · One Per Country
Each country holds one entry, under license from the championship, through a national body or a national ambassador. Crews of two or three share the flag and score for the Nations Trophy.
The Ladder · Open By Application
Gentleman drivers and privateer teams start here, in GT4 cars, in the Saturday sprint. The ladder keeps its own season table, and its champion wins The Sunday Seat: a funded start in a Sunday 6-Hour. Clean driving counts toward promotion.

This is gentleman-driver racing in the truest sense: you own the car, you wear your livery, and you take the grid — the same way customer GT3 and GT4 racing has always been funded. It starts on the ladder, and the rules keep an amateur in every GT3 car. At every round the Bronze on GT3 pole is paid $5,000 in their own name. The marques you know — Porsche, AMG, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin — built to a single balanced specification.
Optional, and separate. The Paddock Society is a members' club that teams can opt into for support. It is not a condition of entry to any part of the grid.
