GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS 2026 kicks off at Sepang International Circuit next weekend (April 3-5) when a raft of new and returning drivers tackle the first two of this year’s 12 one-hour races.

The entry list features six of the 10 global GT World Challenge manufacturers – Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche – as well as Nissan, while seven drivers are battling for SRO GT Academy points and a prize drive at the 2027 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.

Qualifying and both races are live on SRO’s GT World YouTube channel and several Chinese streaming platforms next Saturday and Sunday.
